President Donald Trump on Friday morning ratcheted up the intensity of his desire to hunt down the FBI informant who reportedly met with Trump campaign aides before the 2016 election, calling the situation the “all time biggest political scandal!”
Reports are there was indeed at least one FBI representative implanted, for political purposes, into my campaign for president. It took place very early on, and long before the phony Russia Hoax became a “hot” Fake News story. If true – all time biggest political scandal!

Trump has been stuck on the topic since a Wednesday New York Times report, prompting the FBI to set up precautionary measures to protect the source, should Trump’s efforts unmask him or her.
Rudy Giuliani, Trump’s outside lawyer, seemed out of step with his client Friday morning, airing his uncertainty during an interview with CNN that the informant even exists.
Another desperate attempt to give him cover to shut down the investigation.
You don’t have a President, you have a Drama Queen…
Deflect, deflect, deflect…
Between this and the Rudy show, it looks like they are attempting to try this in the court of public opinion. All this verbosity seems to have that purpose only at this time.He may be trying to put the foundation under a termination of the investigation, but it looks like he just confirms the need.
Will be an interesting summer.
This from a former intelligence officer and the whole thread is worth a read.
