Documentation has been combed over by the Intelligence Committee shows most of this took place well before Trump was the official GOP candidate. Pretty dirty. Pathetic that  CNN is the only "news" source attempting to mince words to ensure they can continue to fuel the anti-trump machine.

They're not the only media outlet that was trying to spin this as an informant.  They were just taking their marching orders from the NY Times and Washington Post, who spun that as the story early on.  They've already been trying to walk that back, so now it's just CNN and MSNBC who are still riding that story line, and it's entertaining to watch them twisting in the wind.

This whole thing stinks.  They tried to embed 2 spies in the Trump campaign going back to well before he was a nominee.  You had the DNI, and the heads of the CIA and FBI in cahoots trying to bring down the candidate starting well before he was the nominee, and then stepped up their efforts after he secured that role.  When he beat their candidate of choice, they put the pedal to the floor to try to undermine him.  They are determined to try to force him out of office, but it's not happening.  I hope they continue this folly right through November.  The blue wave will be nothing more than a giant flush getting rid of the left, and any RINOs who were involved in this nonsense.  Unfortunately, republicans will once again find a way to screw this up.
