Report: Trump Wants FBI 'Mole' in Russia Probe Outed
Source: The Daily Beast
President Trump has reportedly joined his Republican allies in pushing for the Justice Department to release highly classified documents that would identify a top-secret FBI informant he claims illegally spied on his campaign. After Trump on Thursday accused the Obama FBI of planting a mole in his campaign in a scandal that he claims is bigger than Watergate, his lawyer Rudy Giuliani said the president has joined House Intelligence Committee Chairman Devin Nunes (R-CA) in calling for the release of classified documents on the Russia investigation that would include details about the confidential FBI source, The Washington Post reports. Justice Department officials have warned that the release of such information could put lives at risk. The prior government did it, but the present government, for some reason I cant figure out, is covering it up, Giuliani told The Washington Post, adding that the FBIs use of an informant could make Muellers probe completely illegitimate. Both The Washington Post and The New York Times reported this week that a longtime FBI informant provided information to investigators early on in the probe about Trumps ties to Russia, though no further details were available on that persons role.

(7,227 posts)Maybe the FBI/Justice should just write the name on a piece of paper and give it to Nunes. It's not like the bomb-throwing traitor is going to read it.

That's why the FBI is saying no. That, and the person is SO valuable on other fronts they would lose a lot of ground on other investigations or intelligence gathering.
This call is in itself, obstruction. Getting this person killed would mean they could discredit anything they said or found out.

(7,434 posts)wouldn't be so upset. If Trumpy didn't conspire, then the common protocol would be to disprove guilt, THEN investigate the gathering of false evidence. When they want to shoot the messenger, we know they're guilty.
And he is president of the United States, he has at his disposal resources the rest of us don't. If the story is false, it shouldn't be hard for him to disprove it.
