How Team Trump Was Railroaded by Obama Admin

President Trump’s campaign was not notified by Obama’s intelligence officials that the campaign was targeted by Russian actors. Fox News reports:

A mid-August 2016 counterintelligence briefing for the Trump campaign did not specifically warn officials about Russian outreach to the Trump team, nor did it warn that two campaign aides, Mike Flynn and George Papadopoulos, were already under FBI investigation, Fox News has learned.

The new details about the so-called “defensive briefing” have emerged from congressional letters, text messages between FBI agent Peter Strzok and lawyer Lisa Page, and sources familiar with the matter. Such briefings are designed to warn the candidate and his team about national security threats.

“There was a defensive briefing of candidate Trump on Aug. 17 of 2016,” Texas Rep. John Ratcliffe, a member of the House Judiciary Committee, said Thursday on Fox News’ “America’s Newsroom.” “And I can tell you what he wasn’t told: He wasn’t warned about a Russia investigation that Peter Strzok had opened 18 days earlier.”

Strzok, who was later removed from Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s investigative team for sending anti-Trump texts, was a central coordinator for the FBI on the defensive briefing, which included multiple agencies. Three weeks earlier, Strzok opened an FBI counterintelligence investigation into campaign aide George Papadopoulos.

Why did the “defensive briefing” not take place? Did Obama’s officials hope to charge Trump officials rather than actually stopping Russian interference?

The commies are playing the Alinsky game as well in which, as according to Marx doctrine, lies are acceptable as long as it advances the cause, and NOT exposing the whole truth is lying which IS their whole game and the minions fall for it because they’re paid off with free stuff which in their self interest and is all they care about.

If people had not figured out Obama was a totally political animal at heart by his second year in office…they weren’t paying attention.
When all you have is political ambition, then by your own design you are weak and feckless. Obama the sneaky bast$#d who will get caught.
