Top Intel Dem slams Trump claim about FBI informant

The top Democrat on the House Intelligence Committee slammed President Trump’s claim that there was an FBI informant spying on his presidential campaign.

“The most I can tell you, Chuck, is that this claim by the president, the suggestion by Giuliani that there is a political spy embedded in the Trump campaign is nonsense,” Rep. Adam Schiff (D-Calif.) told Chuck Todd, hose of NBC's “Meet the Press.”

Schiff was referring to Trump’s most recent claim that former President Barack Obama used “an embedded informant” to spy on his campaign.

“Wow, word seems to be coming out that the Obama FBI ‘SPIED ON THE TRUMP CAMPAIGN WITH AN EMBEDDED INFORMANT.’ Andrew McCarthy says, ‘There’s probably no doubt that they had at least one confidential informant in the campaign.’ If so, this is bigger than Watergate!” Trump wrote on Twitter last week, referring to National Review writer Andrew McCarthy.

Not a legal guy, but that doesn't sound right.
