Giuliani Shocked By Alleged FBI Spy on Trump Campaign: We Could Challenge the Legitimacy of the Entire Investigationby Aidan McLaughlin | 7:51 am, May 17th, 2018
Fox & Friends interviewed Rudy Giuliani on Thursday, and the Trump lawyer reiterated his belief there could have been a spy in President Donald Trumps campaign, a claim he made on Fox News Wednesday night.
The New York Times extensive report on the FBI investigation into Trumps campaign contained a revelation:
The F.B.I. obtained phone records and other documents using national security letters a secret type of subpoena officials said. And at least one government informant met several times with Mr. Page and Mr. Papadopoulos, current and former officials said. That has become a politically contentious point, with Mr. Trumps allies questioning whether the F.B.I. was spying on the Trump campaign or trying to entrap campaign officials.
For Fox & Friends host Steve Doocy, thats an indication Trump was framed: It sounds like the New York Times is confirming that the FBI essentially spied on the Trump campaign Which would suggest they were out to frame him.
I think were going to have to look into whether we can challenge the legitimacy of this entire investigation, Giuliani said. Maybe the special counsel never should have been appointed.
Im shocked to hear that they put a spy in the campaign of a major party candidate, or maybe two spies he continued. Now Im going through my brain since you know I was a big part of that campaign trying to figure out who was the spy. Now Im wondering was it this person or that person or this person.

Which would suggest they were out to frame him. "
But the FBI uses informants all the time. Thus, it seems then the FBI is trying to frame EVERYONE THEY INVESTIGATE?

Papadapolous got drunk and ran his bragging mouth too much. Page was on the FBI radar for playing footsie with Russian spies for years
The campaign had an informant for the same reason the WH has leakers: decent minded people know that they are dealing with a bunch of crooked rats and fools that need to be exposed
