Report: Trump Wants FBI 'Mole' in Russia Probe Outed

[DonViejo]

Source: The Daily Beast



President Trump has reportedly joined his Republican allies in pushing for the Justice Department to release highly classified documents that would identify a top-secret FBI informant he claims illegally spied on his campaign. After Trump on Thursday accused the “Obama FBI” of planting a mole in his campaign in a scandal that he claims is “bigger than Watergate,” his lawyer Rudy Giuliani said the president has joined House Intelligence Committee Chairman Devin Nunes (R-CA) in calling for the release of classified documents on the Russia investigation that would include details about the confidential FBI source, The Washington Post reports. Justice Department officials have warned that the release of such information could put lives at risk. “The prior government did it, but the present government, for some reason I can’t figure out, is covering it up,” Giuliani told The Washington Post, adding that the FBI’s use of an informant could make Mueller’s probe “completely illegitimate.” Both The Washington Post and The New York Times reported this week that a longtime FBI informant provided information to investigators early on in the probe about Trump’s ties to Russia, though no further details were available on that person’s role.

1. You can't always get what you want

...but if Trump ask Nunes, he might get it

[Grins]

7. Outing an undercover agent. Won't be the first time for the GOP!

Maybe the FBI/Justice should just write the name on a piece of paper and give it to Nunes. It's not like the bomb-throwing traitor is going to read it.

California's 22nd....you know what 'ya gotta' do...?

11. outing this particular informant may be a death sentence.....

If he is russian, or living outside the country, or just deeply enough inserted they don't want him around, they will kill him, even in the US.

That's why the FBI is saying no. That, and the person is SO valuable on other fronts they would lose a lot of ground on other investigations or intelligence gathering.

This call is in itself, obstruction. Getting this person killed would mean they could discredit anything they said or found out.

2. Hey Donnie

3. The "informant" must have been reporting accurately, or Spanky and Drooliani

wouldn't be so upset. If Trumpy didn't conspire, then the common protocol would be to disprove guilt, THEN investigate the gathering of false evidence. When they want to shoot the messenger, we know they're guilty.

6. Yes

And he is president of the United States, he has at his disposal resources the rest of us don't. If the story is false, it shouldn't be hard for him to disprove it.

[dchill]

4. It's as if these 'flakes never heard of an undercover FBI informant.

All of a sudden, this is illegitimate? Huh.

[forgotmylogin]

5. I love how they're less worried about the corruption

... then they are about who reported the corruption.

The King wants the head of the Messenger because that's an easy revenge.

Seriously, does no one advise The Donald and his fearless crew on optics?

[Botany]

8. If Trump & company wasn't breaking the law then there should be no problem.

"They" are trying to make the investigation as the problem not the
illegal deals and Russian interference into our elections.

[turbinetree]

9. Hey Sexual Predator.........................

to show how much you don't give a shit about anything in your narcissistic malignant psychopathic way of thinking...............you do realize that this person could end up dead, and that this is a "NATIONAL SECURITY " operation for a reason...................

And the first one is that your Criminal Enterprise are a bunch of TRAITORS, and

Second you fucking DID NOT CALL the FBI when Russian Spies made contact with your election team including that asshole sitting in the AG office deporting children and your conventioneers having a grand old time partying with SPIES.......................





November 2018 cannot get here fast enough

[SWBTATTReg]

10. Now this is obstruction of justice, plain and simple...nt

[duforsure]

12. After his moles are outed.

He had inside the FBI feeding him and Rudy information to use against others.

[ProfessorGAC]

13. What A Coincidence!

That's the same thing mob bosses say!

[Bernardo de La Paz]

14. Even if he knows it not to be true, he'll push it to try to discredit Mueller. . . . nt

[JohnnyRingo]

15. "I could have gotten away with it if it wasn't for you meddling kids."

The Scoobie Do Defense is hardly a claim of innocence.

[Le Gaucher]

16. I want the Russian moles in the Republican party outed first

[kmla]

17. It's rumored to be this guy...
