Former Trump Campaign Adviser Blasts 'Conspiracy' Theory of Spy on Campaign: 'This Is Embarrassing'

by Aidan McLaughlin | 10:43 pm, May 21st, 2018

A.J. Delgado, a former senior adviser to Donald Trump, went on an extensive tweetstorm Monday night lambasting the theory that former President Barack Obama placed a “spy” inside the Trump campaign in order to frame the eventual president.

Delgado, who served as an adviser on Trump’s campaign, responded to comments made by former White House aide and make-believe doctor Sebastian Gorka, who made a bold (and baseless) declaration on Fox Business Network Monday night.

“If the accusations turn out to be true about this asset, this mole, or what now seems to be the case, multiple FBI assets, this will be the first time ever in American history that one administration put covert assets for political purposes into the other party’s campaign to undermine, and potentially frame, the candidate of that party,” said Gorka, whose education at Corvinus University of Budapest apparently did not cover the Nixon administration.
