President Donald Trump says he believes the Deep State are actively seeking to frame him in order to remove him from the White House.
‘Reports are there was indeed at least one FBI representative implanted, for political purposes, into my campaign for president,’ Trump tweeted on Friday, referring to accusations that James Comey illegally planted an FBI spy in his campaign in order to find an excuse to criminally investigate him.
‘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!’

Dailymail.co.uk reports: The president raised the ante after his attorney, former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani, admitted on CNN that there’s no proof the Obama administration had a mole inside the Trump campaign during the president’s 2016 run.
Trump had minutes earlier touted a televised claim that his Democratic predecessor’s Justice Department tried to use a spy to ‘frame’ him.
‘First of all, I don’t know for sure – nor does the president – if there really was one,” Giuliani said. ‘For a long time we’ve been told that there was some kind of infiltration. At one time the president thought it was a wiretap. … but we’ve never been notified that he was on a tap or an intercept.’

Trump began his Friday online by tweeting that the rumors, if true, amount to ‘really bad stuff.’
He cited Fox Business Network host David Asman, who claimed Thursday that the Obama Justice Department ‘put a spy in the Trump campaign,’ suggesting that ‘by any means necessary, they are out to frame Donald Trump for crimes he didn’t commit.’
Giuliani, though, would only say that he and his fellow attorneys have been ‘told that … off the record’ by ‘people who knew a little about the investigation.’
But the president’s legal advisers ‘don’t know if they’re right or not,’ he conceded.
CNN anchor Chris Cuomo compared the brewing tumult with the media free-for-all Trump himself created 14 months ago when he claimed the Obama administration had been monitoring his campaign team’s communications in 2016.
Trump stunned the world just six weeks into his presidency by tweeting that he had ‘[j]ust found out that Obama had my “wires tapped” in Trump Tower just before the victory. Nothing found. This is McCarthyism!’
‘How low has President Obama gone to tapp [sic] my phones during the very sacred election process. This is Nixon/Watergate. Bad (or sick) guy!’ he added at the time.
Cuomo said Friday that the president has stated that claim ‘as fact many times.’
‘I think he thought that,’ Giuliani replied.

‘That doesn’t make it true,’ Cuomo fired back. ‘That’s part of the problem with understanding this situation: The president feels something. States it as fact. There winds up being no proof. But now you have a lot of people [who] believe it.’
Giuliani insisted Trump could be on the right track anyway.
‘He may turn out to be closer to the truth than people thought,’ he said. ‘We’re told there were two infiltrations, two embedded people in the campaign.’
‘They should tell us if there was,’ he said, referring to Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s office. ‘The obligation is on them.’
On Thursday the president tweeted about a National Review essay by former federal prosecutor Andrew McCarthy, who argued that federal agencies under Barack Obama’s control did indeed spy on the Trump campaign.
‘Wow, word seems to be coming out that the Obama FBI “SPIED ON THE TRUMP CAMPAIGN WITH AN IMBEDDED INFORMANT”,’ Trump wrote.
‘If so, this is bigger than Watergate!’
Giuliani went on the Fox News Channel to back-stop his boss.

‘I think we’re going to have to look into whether we can challenge the legitimacy of the entire investigation. Maybe a special prosecutor, a special counsel, never should’ve been appointed,’ he said.
‘I’m shocked to hear that they put a spy in the campaign of a major party candidate or maybe two spies. And now I’m going through my brain, because you know I was a big part of that campaign – I’m trying to figure out who was the spy.’
Giuliani said it ‘would be the biggest scandal in the history of this town, at least involving law enforcement,’ if Trump’s predecessor had weaponized federal law enforcement to snoop on Trump’s presidential campaign.
The leader of the opposition research firm behind the infamous anti-Trump ‘dirty dossier’ told Congress last year that the FBI collected intelligence from inside the president’s campaign before the 2016 election.
The agency was at the time run by James Comey, the now decidedly anti-Trump former official who has unleashed scathing criticism of Trump in his memoir
Glenn Simpson’s testimony is among the disclosures in Wednesday’s Senate Judiciary Committee release of transcripts from its investigation into the unverified collection of dirt funded by the Hillary Clinton campaign and the Democratic National Committee.
In August 2017 Simpson told committee members and staff that former British sy Christopher Steele – whom he had hired to probe Trump’s potential Russia ties – told him about a meeting in Rome with an FBI agent he knew.
‘Essentially what he told me was they [the FBI] had other intelligence about this matter from an internal Trump campaign source,’ Simpson recalled.
He said the Bureau ‘believed Chris’s information might be credible because they had other intelligence that indicated the same thing, and one of those pieces of intelligence was a human source from inside the Trump organization.’
Simpson moments later said the mole in Trumpworld ‘was a voluntary source, someone who was concerned about the same concerns we had. It was someone like us who decided to pick up the phone and report something.’
Simpson’s words were first made public in January when California Democratic Sen. Dianne Feinstein released a transcript of Simpson’s interview.
Feinstein drew howls from Republicans for unsealing the record without consulting with them first.
President Trump called her ‘Sneaky Dianne Feinstein’ and blamed her for releasing the testimony ‘in such an underhanded and possibly illegal way, totally without authorization.’

A flurry of reporting ensued, with partisans leaking claims to NBC News and other outlets claiming that Simpson had misspoken – that the FBI didn’t have a human intelligence source inside the Trump campaign.
Two days later, Committee chairman Chuck Grassley wrote to Simpson’s lawyer Joshua Levy for clarification.
Levy responded to the Iowa Republican senator: ‘I am writing in response to your letter, dated January 11, 2018, in which you have asked about the August 22, 2017 testimony from our client Glenn Simpson that Christopher Steele in the fall of 2016 said he believed the FBI had another source within the Trump organization/campaign.’
‘Mr. Simpson stands by his testimony.’

par for the course .As if they wouldnt ?Now that would be unbelievable.!
Did you hear Clapper actually DEFENDING the spy in Trumps campaign…he said it was a good thing. So I guess when Trump plants 3 spys in the dems campaign in 2020 that should be a GREAT thing. These criminals are so high on their sense of power they forgot the laws actually apply to them also
You dum fuck! How the fuck did this numnut become a millionaire? Did someone give him the title? Has anybody over in the US of A got a braincell on duty? Please don`t take your vacation in Europe
Why would we want to come to that shithole you’ve let yourself become. Don’t worry about us we have a leader who puts America first and he’s 100% right. Manafort and Page were both used by the FBI previously and then installed in the Campaign. Halsper was the third mole he was paid almost 300 grand in september 2016 by the Obama admin and was the link to the Russian lawyer who was barred from entering the U.S. but somehow got clearance from Kerrys state dept within 48 hrs of asking for permission to enter…where did she go? Straight to Trump tower where a “meeting” had been set up by Halsper. You’re the Dumb shit and when your shithole country finally succumbs to the invaders don’t come here we don’t want ya
By America you mean Israel. Your senators are sworn to Israel. Trump and his administration (for some non dual citizen reason, right?) openly supports them over all other interests. One of your states just made criticising Israel a crime. Yup. that is putting America First, alright.
We have other states that have sanctuary laws is that his fault too? Our State laws don’t have much to do with the president and as far as dual citizenship that’s been the law(a MASSIVELY fucked up law) for decades also not his fault and as for him supporting Israel I’m hoping it will bear fruit in the long run. Zionism is a scourge and I’m sure he realizes this. What I do know is he’s cut off story to the white helmets and any money sitting any groups in Syria. He has nk on the way to denuclearization and did it without dropping a bomb. The tax reform was a nice touch too and last but not least that mfer has declared war on the pedophiles and humantraffickers. What I don’t understand is why if it was this easy there were only 400 arrests in 2015 for those same crimes when he’s accounted for 2000 in his first 6 months in office. There was just a report of a single pos ms13 gang member running NINE groups of child prostitutes in the DC/Baltimore area alone…NINE groups of 13,14,15 yearold girls. You support the pro Muslim, pro illegal,anti American, race baiting scumbag left if you want but I’m going Trump 2020!!
I’m against all the lying deceptive collectivists of power whose designs are to put in the same communities hands that have been against the majority of the worlds populations or simply anti-gentile.
Capitalist ones that want to sell their childrens futures for central banking national debt, fiat currency that was only created to perpetuate war, massive debt and global conquest since the days of Rome and Kublai Khan.
Socialist ones that add more bows and ribbons onto communism, before it completely collapses to communism. They too because of their murderous collectivism.
Sure you support the collective chain ideologies, each that collapses to the others.
By the way YOU are pro muslim, your taxes and the capitalist baking systems you support, literally creates NGOs that move migrants around the world. Your charity donations are interdonated by them and used for the same. You are more pro -illegal than I am if you support capitalism, as the heads of it, all love socialist and communist international dictatorships more. They like it so much they create groups like the communist ‘international brigade’ and invaded spain aroudn ww2.
You want to go slinging name calling around you piece of shit. Have at it, I won’t respond further, people like you are why there are so many problems. Ignorant and proud of it.
The capitalist banking system I support? U dony know what I support you miserable little worm. I have never advised ANYONE to take psychotropic drugs but in your case you really have nowhere to go but up. So what do you hate most about Trump was it the executive order against human trafficking or was it him closing down Backpage (aka the only way in hell a miserable crybitch like u gets a woman to stay with him for more than 20 minutes)?…oh yeah TRUMP 2020 BOIIII!!!
TRUMP 2020 MAGA
LMFAO Well put! Let Jan enjoy his shithole.
Remember he is a Rothschild stoodge; a white night playing with golden pawns. A highfaluting bullshiter who is noticeably without evidence when explaining why his reality is void of substance.
