Michael Caputo Claims Second 'Informant' Penetrated Trump Campaign

Source: Talking Points Memo


By Kate Riga | May 22, 2018 8:48 am

Former Trump campaign advisor Michael Caputo hinted Monday that a second person, in addition to the recently-revealed FBI informant, tried to penetrate the 2016 campaign.

“This informant, this person that they planted, try to plant into the campaign and even into the administration if you believe Axios, he’s not the only person that came at the campaign,” Caputo told Fox News’ Laura Ingraham. “I know because they came at me, and I’m looking for clearance from my attorney to reveal this to the public.

“When we finally find out the truth about this, Director Clapper and the rest of them are going to be wearing some orange suits,” he added.

Tell them circular firing squads work best.

Or maybe, tell them not to use circular firing squads.

Law enforcement and their sources are the real criminals and witnesses
are really spies and informants.

But to those watching Fox News this gibberish makes total sense.

but this story has turned so unbelievably ugly that in my darker moments I almost wonder if the traitors couldn’t be successful in turning the tables so that the actual white hats don’t end up in orange suits much like what we see in banana republics. Every day I thing “this has to be it, right?” and then we all tumble down another rabbit hole deeper than the one the day before.

Is it that some other agency approached him to provide inside information? Or is it that someone other than Halper was asking him questions that he now interprets to be a mole?

IOW... who is "they" in the above statement - the FBI/CIA or a second mole?

7. This may just be more infighting among Trump's leading supporters.

That's what happens when tyrants "organize" for their own benefit.

Watch "Circle of Evil" about the rivalries among Hitler's supporters.

This is a matter of Trump's supporters vying among themselves for control, Trump's approval and recognition rather than for the common good of all Americans and for America.

Put a camera in front of them and these clowns will say anything to stay on the air (and perhaps out of jail).

when interviewed by Mueller's investigators and/or the Mueller GJ? The one who said basically "Mueller knows everything"? I thought so.

His mentor is Roger Stone, nuff said.

All of a sudden he remembers this?
He's pathetic, was on TV basically crying that he needs $150,000 to pay for his lawyer for the Mueller investigation, has to sell his house, kids education fund ruined, yada/yada.
Sickening that a gofundme raised over 300, 000 for the whining pos.


He lived in Russia for years, advised Boris Yelsin and has Putin connections.
