Howie Carr: FBI ‘protection’ of Trump in 2016 is a laugh
Boston Herald, May 23, 2018, Howie Carr

Talk about ungrateful — for some reason President Trump doesn’t appreciate how the FBI tried to help him out in 2016 by inserting a spy, I mean informant, into his campaign.

As the Washington Post headline explained this charitable deed: “The FBI didn’t use an informant to go after Trump. They used one to protect him.”

“He should be glad to know,” a former FBI agent writes in the Post, “that the FBI appears to have been trying to thwart a hostile country’s efforts to infiltrate his campaign.”

The New York Times agreed: “FBI Used Informant to Investigate Russia Ties to Campaign, Not to Spy, as Trump Claims.”

Oddly, they forgot to protect the Hillary campaign in the same generous fashion, even though the wife of Andrew McCabe, the bureau’s No. 2 in more ways than one, took hundreds of thousands of dollars from Hillary’s cronies.

See, the Russian collusion represented “a grave national security threat,” the Post said, or it would have, except it was total nonsense, made up by paid agents of the Hillary Clinton campaign. But to gin up fake evidence, Hillary’s operatives in the Justice Department dispatched an obese septuagenarian with a nose like a pickle to infiltrate the Trump campaign.
