Trump: Why didn't the FBI WARN me?

The FBI did, starting in July 2016.

Why didn't DT tell the FBI about Carter Page's trips to and contacts with Russia?





With Spies, or “Informants” as the Democrats like to call them because it sounds less sinister (but it’s not), all over my campaign, even from a very early date, why didn’t the crooked highest levels of the FBI or “Justice” contact me to tell me of the phony Russia problem?

WASHINGTON — In the weeks after he became the Republican nominee on July 19, 2016, Donald Trump was warned that foreign adversaries, including Russia, would probably try to spy on and infiltrate his campaign, according to multiple government officials familiar with the matter.

The warning came in the form of a high-level counterintelligence briefing by senior FBI officials, the officials said. A similar briefing was given to Hillary Clinton, they added. They said the briefings, which are commonly provided to presidential nominees, were designed to educate the candidates and their top aides about potential threats from foreign spies.


The candidates were urged to alert the FBI about any suspicious overtures to their campaigns, the officials said.

the last line of defense would be, "I didn't know I was surrounded by traitors." This is where flipping people like Manafort becomes important.

Trump is a master of word games and misdirection, aimed squarely at the "cult 45."

Guess someone already let him know after the classified hearings what kind of deep shit he is in.
