| Informant Spied on Trump Campaign Before the FBI Officially Began Its Probe |
| 2018-05-19 |
| BLUF: [Breitbart] The Post notes the informant’s role raises questions about how he first became involved in the case, the extent of the information he provided, the actions he took to obtain intelligence for the FBI, and whether his interaction with Page was for the FBI or for another agency, such as the CIA. Details about the informant began leaking to the Times and the Post after House Intelligence Committee Chairman Devin Nunes inquired about the informant last month. Officials initially went to the White House to try to stop Nunes from receiving the information, according to the Post. After first denying his request, last week, Justice Department officials briefed Nunes and Rep. Trey Gowdy (R-SC). Emphasis added. |

| #2 Since opposition research is not illegal, even if with Russians, the 'spying' must have been part of a longstanding investigation of Trump-Russia financial dealings, or more likely, part of an investigation of Clinton security breaches. Trump is only at risk for false statements (on purpose or not) to the FBI. |

| #1 ....the actions he took to obtain intelligence for the FBI, and whether his interaction with Page was for the FBI or for another agency, such as the CIA. The Director Central Intelligence Agency 'is' the national director of intelligence. The FBI went to the net for the spike. |
