Nobody is asking you to believe Rudy, (least of all FAKECNN) but do you believe the Times and/or the Post? If this is Liberal America, you can have it: Confirmed: FBI Was Spying on the Trump Campaign <snip> Earlier this week the New York Times published a story revealing the FBI was not only spying on the Trump campaign, but had at least one FBI informant embedded within it. Further, the piece reveals the FBI didn't have enough evidence to open a criminal investigation into members of the Trump campaign, so a counterintelligence investigation was launched instead. The F.B.I. obtained phone records and other documents using national security letters — a secret type of subpoena — officials said. And at least one government informant met several times with Mr. Page and Mr. Papadopoulos, current and former officials said. That has become a politically contentious point, with Mr. Trump’s allies questioning whether the F.B.I. was spying on the Trump campaign or trying to entrap campaign officials.The Washington Post has published a similar story: <snip> 3. In self-serving desire to get a sympathetic story about its actions, DOJ/FBI leakers are willing to provide yet more details about that "top secret" source (namely, that spying was aimed at Page/Papadopoulos)--making all more likely/certain source will be outed.

It’s like watching the boy who cried wolf demand to know how people came to believe a wolf was nearby. t.co — Sean Davis (@seanmdav) May 18, 2018 Original Article
