FBI working to soften potential blow if top-secret informant exposed: report

[turbinetree]

Source: The Hill

The FBI has reportedly been working in recent weeks to soften the blow if the identity of a top-secret informant who fed information to investigators early on in the Russia probe is revealed.

The Washington Post reported on Thursday that FBI officials have been taking steps to reduce the potential damage to other investigations the informant is involved in and protect associates, in the event that the source is outed.

The scramble to mitigate the potential harm comes as allies of President Trump hone in on the informant's role in the investigation into possible collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia.

Trump himself claimed on Thursday that the Obama administration had intentionally planted the informant in his presidential campaign to spy on him and his associates, suggesting that the matter could end up being "bigger than Watergate."

This is Bullshit...................there are people within the current criminal enterprise that contacted Russian spies and DID NOT CALL or TELL THE FBI, they even LIED about in Congress, and they have LIED about it since they were trying to deceive about a visit in the assholes tower in Manhattan while flying on Air Force One coming back from Europe.......................

I hate traitors......................

And as far as I am concerned this individual or has it's being called this informant is a HERO.....................

Wouldn’t that be something? Stranger things have happened. Bannon has been remarkably quiet of late.

7. I look at this as, if you have done nothing wrong, then you have nothing to

be worried about...the pos in the wh is squirming, he knows what he did, thus, the attack by his so-called allies - traitors - you bet...Mueller has been following the money trail, and surely has so many docs now, to put this whole admin out on the street...
