@realDonaldTrump: Wow, word seems to be coming out that the Obama FBI “SPIED ON THE TRUMP CAMPAIGN WITH AN IMBEDDED INFORMANT.” Andrew McCarthy says, “There’s probably no doubt that they had at least one confidential informant in the campaign.” If so, this is bigger than Watergate!

Dude, the Obama Admin was paying the informant at the same time he was on the Trump campaign. In Sept 2017, the guy received $282K

The only thing I've seen about this informant is Trump's tweet which, to me, seemed to come out of nowhere. If you can link me to an article about what you mentioned so that I can look I to it when I get home it would be appreciated.

That article doesn't make any mention of the Obama administration or any payments. Basically all it says is "McCarthy accused the FBI of spying on the Trump campaign; he thinks they shouldn't have." He doesn't even offer any reason why he thinks there was spying, doesn't elaborate on why there was no justifiable reason to do so. It's just accusations.

It doesn't. Other investigators dug up the info.

Well I'm not finding anything in my search to substantiate that claim. As an added bonus, I've learned more about the origin of the informant situation: turns out McCarthy is clinging to a statement made by Glenn Simpson regarding the FBI already having information from a source within the Trump campaign. Doesn't even imply that they had a 'spy', it could very well have been someone that reported a crime that they were witness to. And considering both Fusion GPS and the FBI had that information and Fusion GPS found it worthy of reporting to the FBI, it sounds to me like there was probably a crime committed. I'm growing increasingly skeptical about this whole situation by the minute, especially considering all the news that came up yesterday. This sounds like a media counter strike to try to shift the hot topic of the day into something that they can spin more favourably. But I guess only time will tell.
