Former Trump campaign advisor Michael Caputo hinted Monday that a second person, in addition to the recently-revealed FBI informant, tried to penetrate the 2016 campaign.

“This informant, this person that they planted, try to plant into the campaign and even into the administration if you believe Axios, he’s not the only person that came at the campaign,” Caputo told Fox News’ Laura Ingraham. “I know because they came at me, and I’m looking for clearance from my attorney to reveal this to the public.

“When we finally find out the truth about this, Director Clapper and the rest of them are going to be wearing some orange suits,” he added.

  1. Well, this is a relief! If the FBI was suspicious that a hostile foreign power was actively trying to manipulate our presidential election and the only thing the FBI did was have one retired college professor make a couple contacts with the trump campaign, that would’ve been a pretty pathetic response, wouldn’t it? I can’t believe they only sent a couple informants rather than sending in 50 FBI agents to interrogate everybody in the trump campaign.

  2. Yup. And Mueller’s going to wrap up by September 1st. That’s the ticket.

  3. “When we finally find out the truth about this, Director Clapper and the rest of them are going to be wearing some orange suits,” he added.

    Did his attorney OK this statement?

  4. Did somebody hear some bits of meat flapping together?

    It sounds kind of like a butterfly farting.

  5. They’re acting like it’s a bad thing that the FBI investigates illegal activity.
