Following initial reports of an FBI informant linked to his campaign, Trump wrote on Twitter last week that it would be ābigger than Watergateā if there was an āembedded informantā on the campaign, and tweeted a quote that "Apparently the DOJ put a Spy in the Trump Campaign."
Subsequent reportingĀ indicatedĀ the informant was a Cambridge University professor, who was not embedded in the campaign but sought out meetings with campaign advisers Page and George Papadopoulos and with Trump campaign co-chair Sam Clovis.
ENOUGH!
After a year-long 'Witch Hunt' which has seen Robert Mueller indicting a phantom company. Frustrated that the Department of Justice (DOJ) had been doing nothing to discover who the real criminals were in Washington and now the latest revelation that the FBI had recruited an informant to spy on the Trump campaign.
President Trump has had enough of the D.C. swamp and on Sunday he sent out a tweet putting the Deep State on notice that Monday will be their reckoning day.
I hereby demand, and will do so officially tomorrow, that the Department of Justice look into whether or not the FBI/DOJ infiltrated or surveilled the Trump Campaign for Political Purposes - and if any such demands or requests were made by people within the Obama Administration!

The President's tweet must have really lit a fire under Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein ass because he didn't even wait for the start of the work week.
Shortly after the tweet from President Trump went viral,Ā Rosenstein formally asked the Justice Departmentās inspector general to review whether there was improper politically motivated surveillance of the Trump campaign in 2016.
In a statement, Rosenstein said:
āIf anyone did infiltrate or surveil participants in a presidential campaign for inappropriate purposes, we need to know about it and take appropriate action.ā
Justice Department spokeswoman Sarah Isgur Flores added:
āThe Department has asked the Inspector General to expand the ongoing review of the FISA application process to include determining whether there was any impropriety or political motivation in how the FBI conducted its counterintelligence investigation of persons suspected of involvement with the Russian agents who interfered in the 2016 presidential election.ā
The noose tightens
You can immediately tell who the bad actors are, by how fast they spew their outrage over the investigation being officially announced. Of course, these criminals cannot stop the investigation, so they always direct their comments, toward the people who have the ear of the President.
First up should not come as a shock to anyone. John Brenner, the former CIA director who we has lied multiple times, under oath, when he was testifying before Congress.
Senator McConnell & Speaker Ryan: If Mr. Trump continues along this disastrous path, you will bear major responsibility for the harm done to our democracy. You do a great disservice to our Nation & the Republican Party if you continue to enable Mr. Trumpās self-serving actions. https://t.co/uAhgL6wfIC

Oh, the irony of seeing one of the major players in the "Deep State' who along with Comey, and others who started an illegal investigation, now crying about a legal investigation and the 'harm being done to our democracy.'
