Clinton Campaign, FBI Spied on Trump - While He Was President

Trump was right—the Clinton campaign was spying on him, even after he was president, and the FBI was helping (and the CIA asked to help)! Sounds crazy, right? But in a world run by criminals and traitors disguised as respected or celebrated citizens, it seems anything (unfortunately) is possible—and even true.

“[Washington Examiner] OF COURSE THEY SPIED ON TRUMP. One of the most contentious claims Donald Trump ever made was his insistence that he had been the target of spying. . .Each time, all the usual anti-Trump voices rushed to accuse the president of lying. But over the years, a series of facts emerged that, while they did not support some of Trump's most specific charges — Obama did not wiretap Trump in Trump Tower — did support the larger idea that Trump was indeed the target of spying.

We learned that in the final days of the 2016 presidential race, when the Clinton campaign came up with the Steele dossier, a collection of sensational and unsupported allegations about Trump and Russia, the FBI used the dossier to win approval to wiretap Carter Page, a low-level former Trump campaign adviser. Then we learned that also in 2016, the FBI used a confidential informant, a professor named Stefan Halper, to spy on Page and George Papadopoulos, another low-level Trump adviser. Then we learned that in 2016, the FBI sent an undercover agent — a woman who used the alias Azra Turk — to secretly record conversations with Papadopoulos.”

Yes, the government is corrupt, and the FBI has too many times functioned as the Democrats’ personal hit team. After all, this is the same FBI that treated a mother who called out school boards and a painstakingly honest undercover journalist as criminals.

“So, there is ample evidence to say that the FBI spied on the Trump campaign. Now we are learning about another type of spying — the Clinton campaign spying on the Trump campaign. The revelations are coming from the investigation of John Durham, the special counsel appointed by the Trump administration, and retained by the Biden administration, to investigate the origins of the Trump-Russia collusion investigation.

In a court filing Friday, Durham reported that in July 2016, a tech executive named Rodney Joffe (he is unnamed in the court papers, but the name has been widely reported) worked with the Clinton campaign's law firm to ‘mine Internet data,’ some of it ‘non-public and/or proprietary’ — that means secret — to search for information that could be used to claim a Trump-Russia connection. Among the secret data that was ‘exploited,’ according to Durham, was internet traffic from Trump Tower, from Donald Trump's Central Park West apartment building, and — after Trump was elected president — the Executive Office of the President of the United States. Joffe's company, Durham says, ‘had come to access and maintain dedicated servers for the EOP as part of a sensitive arrangement’ — a government contract — to provide tech services. They then ‘exploited this arrangement by mining the EOP's [Internet] traffic and other data for the purpose of gathering derogatory information about Donald Trump.’

After that, the Clinton team went to the CIA to try to get the nation's spy agency interested in the anti-Trump effort. That mirrored earlier Clinton approaches to the FBI, when Clinton operatives tried to interest agents on what is known as the ‘Alfa Bank’ story, which was a phony allegation that there were all sorts of suspicious connections between a Russian bank and the Trump campaign.

The bigger goal of all of it, Durham says, was ‘to establish 'an inference' and 'narrative' tying then-candidate Trump to Russia.’ So there was a two-track operation going on: While the FBI was doing spying of its own, the Clinton team was spying, too, and trying to get the FBI and CIA involved. It was all part of a larger plan to push the ‘narrative’ of Trump-Russia collusion.

How did it end? You'll remember that a special counsel, Robert Mueller, using all the resources and powers of federal law enforcement, searched for collusion for years and could never establish that it happened, much less that any Trump campaign figures might have been involved.

Going to the FBI and CIA had tactical advantages for the Clinton campaign, in this way. . .if the Clinton operative approached the press with information that the FBI was investigating a possible Trump-Russia connection—that’s news!”

In other words, this was a way for the Clinton campaign to get their illegal findings amplified by media with a façade of credibility and objectivity. I wonder how much certain media outlets knew was sketchy and didn’t tell the America public?

Don’t expect any apologies from the media, however, which (as MRC NewsBusters reports) slammed Trump for saying he was being spied on:

“According to a recent filing by Special Counsel John Durham, it turns out Trump was being spied on after all — both as a candidate in 2016 and as President of the United States — by operatives paid by Clinton campaign associates. In addition to being an explosive revelation in its own right, this is also very embarrassing news for the media, who have repeated endlessly that nobody spied on the Trump campaign.”

But the ends justify the means for leftists, don’t they? Oh, well—on to the next lie!

The Washington Examiner concludes:

“‘Democrat-paid operatives illegally hacked their political opponents' communications during a presidential campaign and then did it again to a sitting president and the White House staff,’ said Devin Nunes, who as House Intelligence Committee chairman investigated the spying allegations. ‘These actions are characteristic of third-world dictatorships, not democracies. It is undoubtedly the biggest political scandal of our lifetime.’

For former President Donald Trump, the message was much simpler. On Sunday, he sent out an email statement that read, simply: ‘THEY SPIED ON THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES!"’

Yes, they did.”
