Chilling: It Looks Like the Obama FBI Secretly Embedded a Spy in the Trump Campaign

It’s been like pulling teeth, but Devin Nunes and Trey Gowdy have finally levered the FBI into revealing the name of a “source” related to the Russian “collusion” probe. Kimberley Strassel at the Wall Street Journal has published the stunning report.

[It appears that] the FBI secretly had a person on the payroll who used his or her non-FBI credentials to interact in some capacity with the Trump campaign.

This would amount to spying, and it is hugely disconcerting. It would also be a major escalation from the electronic surveillance we already knew about, which was bad enough. Obama political appointees rampantly “unmasked” Trump campaign officials to monitor their conversations, while the FBI played dirty with its surveillance warrant against Carter Page, failing to tell the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court that its supporting information came from the Hillary Clinton campaign. Now we find it may have also been rolling out [covert agents] to infiltrate the Trump campaign.

Which would lead to another big question for the FBI: When? … [W]hen precisely was this human source operating? Because if it was prior to that infamous Papadopoulos tip, then the FBI isn’t being straight. It would mean the bureau was spying on the Trump campaign prior to that moment…

…I believe I know the name of the informant, but my intelligence sources did not provide it to me and refuse to confirm it. It would therefore be irresponsible to publish it. But what is clear is that we’ve barely scratched the surface of the FBI’s 2016 behavior, and the country will never get the straight story until President Trump moves to declassify everything possible. It’s time to rip off the Band-Aid.

The cockroaches are scurrying as the lights come on in the house. Strassel is right: it’s long past time to declassify everything related to the Clinton email probe and the “Trump/Russia collusion” scam.
