President Trump’s “Spygate” On Fox News, Most Media Ignores

By 1600 Staff

President Trump started referring to the FBI’s counterintelligence scandal “spygate”, as he says he was spied on by during the 2016 campaign.

James Clapper, formerly the Director of National Intelligence, conceded there was surveillance, but claimed they were listening for Russians.

As the scandal gained traction and began to slowly take over the news cycle, President Trump continued tweet about it through Friday.

The president got right to it, distilling just how serious the situation is:

He concluded Friday by quoting the Federalist’s Mollie Hemingway, who had choice words about the FBI informant in the 2016 campaign:

President Trump then called out the rest of the media, who are devoting little time to such a big story. As the president continues to draw attention to this rapidly expanding story, the harder it will become to avoid covering such a serious story.

As an 83-year-old DEPLORABLE ONE, you have many good points, and I can tell you are MAD AS HELL with all the garbage that fake news, and their government associates continue to spread. Prison for the so-called self-serving government officials. ANY CRIME NO MATTER WHAT SHOULD automatically cancel any possibility of a pension, IT BECOMES NULL AND VOID. They will have to pass laws as far as the death penalty is concerned, but your point is well taken. ENOUGH IS ENOUGH. God Bless President Trump. #MAGA

You are batshit crazy! We don’t kill or even prosecute political enemies in our country. There is zero evidence of political spying. Are you okay with Russians influencing our elections as long as they help your preferred candidate?

Hang Nixon for Watergate, but when the libs do it, it’s no big deal. These lawless people should be arrested, locked up in prison then flood the prison. Maybe begin to bring back a few law abiding people to run our LAW ENFORCEMENT AGENCIES. Interference in an election? What about the people and money barry sent to Israel to make sure their election resulted in his favor. Didn’t work did it and no accountability for real tampering. Clinton’s election as the democrat nominee with this idea of super delegates. What in the world is a super delegate? Another reason liberalism stinks.

It is an insult to the American people, then treasonous criminals are a most fired, with benefits intact. in many cases they are just demoted and placed out of sight so they can continue to betray an damage our country. I was hauled off to jail for not paying a $60 library ticket. Why am I judged by far harsher standards then the highly placed officials we have trusted to protect our country.

Where are the Democ “RATS” and the mainstream media. Mr. Mueller please stop your investigation now and spare the taxpayer for their hard earned money and maybe, the Democrats will reimburse the federal government for all your expenses. It is more than a year now and nothing happen. CNN / MSMBC and all the fake news media should stop their bias reporting for President Trump and please don’t insult the millions of people who voted for the President.

The FBI, starting at the TOP, should be investigated for spying, treason, evidence tampering, and whatever else. Using the lower ranks as scapegoats is how it’s usually done. This is exactly what the crooked upper ranks want it. The upper reaches of the FBI was started in its corruption by J. Edgar, no less, all those years ago, so it has had generations of corruption to establish such a culture. And it’s all been at the TOP, not further down.
The present, protracted side show under the guise of an investigation is just the latest version of an attempt to make it look good to the public while the boys at the top come out looking lily white and as if they are doing us all a big service.

The only way to insure that this type of activity stops is to prosecute those who directed it and participated in it to the fullest extent of the law.

When watching ABC news, their 30 seconds devoted to this was something like: Trump claims that there was a spy planted in his campaign but he has offered no proof of it. They differentiate ‘spy’ from ‘informant’……A spy is an “outsider” whose role is to gather information in a covert fashion. An informer is an “insider” who exposes information to authorities. Trump should call informer instead of spy…….

THis is a shining example of why everyone who is appointed or serves in an official capacity of the government should be REQUIRED to sign a “STATEMENT OF SILENCE ” for when they leave their assigned posts. Everyone in the military who serves in a sensitive position is required to “debrief” and agree to such a statement when they leave. Clapper was a crook from day one and now is continuing to disrupt government with information that could be considered treasonous by attempting to overthrow existing government. Demands upon congress to prosecute these individuals falls on deaf ears. It makes you wonder what some of them have to hide. I don’t think the president had any idea just how deep the corruption went when he said “drain the swamp”.
