      I hereby demand, and will do so officially tomorrow, that the Department of Justice look into whether or not the FBI/DOJ infiltrated or surveilled the Trump Campaign for Political Purposes - and if any such demands or requests were made by people within the Obama Administration!

      In other instances when Trump or the Hill have been pushing for more action, Sessions and Rosenstein have either referred the issue to the Inspector General or assigned a particular US attorney to review the matter.

      JUST IN: DOJ spokesperson says DOJ has asked the inspector general to "expand the ongoing review ... to include determining whether there was any impropriety or political motivation in how the FBI conducted its counterintelligence investigation" launched in 2016.

          But will Trump realize this won't help his goal of causing a reason to get Rosenstein out and eventual control over the investigation? It should be obvious to even him that they are giving him a pacifier. Perhaps he'll realize that his original demand was a huge danger to him.

          It seems to me, right before the 2016 election the fbi did its damndest to ruin clinton’s chances to win with comey coming out with that new email investigation. Remember that. Then Giuliano said “his friends” in the fbi had stuff on clinton and “it will come out soon” Remember

          Right! Trump has no idea what’s he’s ordering. All the evidence points to his campaign’s wrongdoing. This could backfire! 💥💥💥💥💥💥💥

          It will have to and maybe that’s why Justice is going along with it. Basically, as I see it he’s ordering them to investigate his campaign, that means he would have to give up evidence and be interviewed eventually. Backfire bigly💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥

          I'm pretty sure that Rosenstein knows there WASN'T any impropriety in the FBI investigation, hence why he's allowing a review. That's my take.

          Trump thrives within utter chaos, that's how the traitor scams, cheats & steals. Too many distractions he lobs like grenades, & unfortunately, MSM eats it up. I have faith in Mr. Mueller. Not like we have an alternative, except for Avenatti, the dark horse.

          I'm in the UK watching all this unfold... it's scary in some ways but riveting to watch at the same time. This is 100 times bigger than Watergate in my view given the number of scandals that Trump is personally involved in.. he's on tip toes and up to his neck in shit.

          Too young to know about Watergate. I did not realize I should have taken a political history course in corruption before this DBag traitor invaded our White House. Indictments galore, raids are the norm for his "very fine people".
