In reply to the discussion: Sen. Graham Blames FBI For Trump Campaign's 'Improper' Russian Contacts [View all]Hortensis
(58,785 posts)7. The Trump campaign was informed and warned
by our intelligence services and was noted to not just ignore the warnings but continue its very concerning activities. I don't remember specifically that the FBI warned, but I imagine so.
After all, even though the DNC had no idea Russian intelligence was hacking their files until Russia leaked them, the FBI's own records say they were watching Russia's hacking and did notify the DNC long before. A little dissonance there (!), but that Comey kept documentation saying they notified indicates clearly his belief that the FBI had a duty to inform, whether they did not not.
Of course, Trump was the Republican candidate and was handled very differently by the FBI.

Exactly. That's been reported from the beginning that both campaigns were warned.
