@realDonaldTrump
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?

This whole Russia Probe is Rigged. Just an excuse as to why the Dems and Crooked Hillary lost the Election and States that haven’t been lost in decades. 13 Angry Democrats, and all Dems if you include the people who worked for Obama for 8 years. #SPYGATE & CONFLICTS OF INTEREST!

When will the 13 Angry Democrats (& those who worked for President O), reveal their disqualifying Conflicts of Interest? It’s been a long time now! Will they be indelibly written into the Report along with the fact that the only Collusion is with the Dems, Justice, FBI & Russia?

11. FBI warned Trump in 2016 Russians would try to infiltrate his campaign

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.

(snip)

"If I give you a defensive briefing and the illicit behavior continues, I'm not going to just scratch my head over that, especially if I see continued interference," Montoya said. "If we're telling these guys stuff and they are not acting on it, then we're going to keep that as evidence."

(snip)

If they fail to do that, he said, "a couple of factors could be at play: They didn't spread the message to the rest of the team or there is some form of guilty conscience that prohibits them."

... He's getting desperate and trying to rig this investigation, just like he did to the election that he claimed Hillary was rigging. He accuses others of what he's doing often.

every Trump tweet that is a lie or conspiracy theory by Trump. We should fight fire with fire and call Trump out every time. The Dem should be a high profile Dem so that the MSM follows her/him like they follow Trump. Trump needs to be put on the defensive with the facts of every contrived senario he cooks up.

Need to give Trump a taste of his own medicine - but with the truth. It's time he's held accountable and made to pay for his lies.

From the sound of his tweets, it looks like he'll have plenty to think about at Gitmo or Bellview. Good. It'll keep his mind occupied.

repetitive and boring. I’m surprised they are being taken seriously. It’s obvious the aforementioned Tweets are being written by others. Is it possible that 45 will one day be a laughingstock? I picture historians 40 years from now snickering with disbelief that the fools of the early 21st century let him remain in office. Students writing term and research papers are going to have a ball.

and I didn't vote for him, but I'm not embarrassed by him. He and his grifter family should be embarrassed by him though. I had nothing to do with him squatting in the White House so I'll not be embarrassed. He's an embarrassment to himself. However, if you know anything about narcissistic personality disorder you know that they are incapable of being embarrassed.

if these tweets aren't strong enough proof of his mental instability, I don't know what is.

He's stacking the deck to avoid hard jail time by making sure that someone will invoke the 25th Amendment on him so that he'll be tossed from office and can avoid sitting behind bars.

That *has* to be the explanation.

Surely he can't be *that* delusional. (I know - whenever we say, "He CAN'T be that stupid/delusional/crass/ignorant..." he seems to take it as a challenge to prove to everyone that he *CAN* be.)
