VEEEEEEERY interesting story coming from the WSJ. Did the DOJ/FBI plant a spy within the Trump campaign prior to any actionable intelligence?

!!! UNKNOWN CONTENT TYPE !!!

The key passage:

“Thanks to the Washington Post’s unnamed law-enforcement leakers, we know Mr. Nunes’s request deals with a “top secret intelligence source” of the FBI and CIA, who is a U.S. citizen and who was involved in the Russia collusion probe. When government agencies refer to sources, they mean people who appear to be average citizens but use their profession or contacts to spy for the agency. Ergo, we might take this to mean that the FBI secretly had a person on the payroll who used his or her non-FBI credentials to interact in some capacity with the Trump campaign.

This would amount to spying, and it is hugely disconcerting. It would also be a major escalation from the electronic surveillance we already knew about, which was bad enough. Obama political appointees rampantly “unmasked” Trump campaign officials to monitor their conversations, while the FBI played dirty with its surveillance warrant against Carter Page, failing to tell the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court that its supporting information came from the Hillary Clinton campaign. Now we find it may have also been rolling out human intelligence, John Le Carré style, to infiltrate the Trump campaign.

Which would lead to another big question for the FBI: When? The bureau has been doggedly sticking with its story that a tip in July 2016 about the drunken ramblings of George Papadopoulos launched its counterintelligence probe. Still, the players in this affair—the FBI, former Director Jim Comey, the Steele dossier authors—have been suspiciously vague on the key moments leading up to that launch date. When precisely was the Steele dossier delivered to the FBI? When precisely did the Papadopoulos information come in?

And to the point, when precisely was this human source operating? Because if it was prior to that infamous Papadopoulos tip, then the FBI isn’t being straight. It would mean the bureau was spying on the Trump campaign prior to that moment. And that in turn would mean that the FBI had been spurred to act on the basis of something other than a junior campaign aide’s loose lips.”

Many sources are whistle-blowers or low-level fodder who’ve already been picked up for something.

Trump has proven that he sees everyone who isn’t himself as disposable so it makes sense that people who work for him are always looking out for themselves.

Regarding when the FBI got the Steele dossier, John McCain’s memoir might answer that question. John is saying he’s the one who gave the dossier to Comey.

The FBI that once attempted to blackmail MLK into committing suicide? Impossibru.

Everyone suspected, nay, knew he had. That doesn’t mean they didn’t have it before. Particularly with bizarre things like ID’ing the wrong Cohen that match up with other files from long before McCain. IC/FiveEyes communication if any that Steele was privy to was by no means impossible to be a two-way street.

I think that there was absolutely extra surveillance used by the Ds during the election to spy on the Trump campaign, and it was used for attempted political gain, not for investigating illegal activities. I also think that the Trump campaign was sloppy with the people chosen to contribute to it.

There is no doubt that Trump paid hookers to pee on a bed in Russia while he was there. I’ll take it a step further, to suggest that he snuck hookers in through the secret white house tunnels to pee on Obama’s bed before it was moved out. Due to lessons learned, these hookers then “disappeared”, instead of merely getting paid off.

FBI agents infiltrated a political movement? Who could’ve seen this coming?

We’re not going to hear about the shocking disappearance of the White House Tunnel Hookers until somebody writes a book about them and needs to do a press tour on it.

That’s what Rod Rosenstein is going to do after he gets the sack.
