Remember when Trump said that Obama wiretapped him? This was a lie with no supporting evidence. Trump has done it again with his claim that the FBI embedded someone in his campaign. This is another baseless claim designed to take attention away from the actual activities of the Trump campaign.
Think about it:
- The FBI was investigating Clinton’s emails during the campaign. Comey made two public statement which contributed to Clinton’s loss in the election.
- The FBI was investigating the Trump’s campaign’s contacts with Russia (an enemy of the US) during the campaign. The FBI said nothing about this during the campaign. Neither did President Obama.
If the FBI and Obama wanted to hurt Trump and help Clinton, they would have said something before the election about the connections between Russia and the Trump campaign. They didn’t. The facts are the opposite of Trump’s outrageous claim since their inaction helped Trump.
Sad!
