      All future campaigns automatically come with a mole and an investigation from the incumbents DOJ etc.

      So your proposal is that if a campaign is infiltrated w/suspected spying targets bc they did absolutely no vetting and liked people who would work for free, the FBI should do nothing after those suspected targets leave the campaign? Is that it?

      Depends on whether or not there is significant probable cause. What I’ve seen so far doesn’t rise to the level of a Democrat inserting a mole into a Republicans campaign etc. If it turns out to be legit, so be it, I’ll change my mind.

      Sorry. You're inventing a detail there. "Inserting a mole into a Republicans campaign." And MOST of what is know is after people left the campaign. Again, post-campaign. Bc FBI waited.

      So honestly, you are affirmatively adopting "let's not investigate Russian spying anymore because they're targeting Republicans."

      I said that if there is adequate evidence then investigate away. Your opponent paying a foreign spy for third hand rumors doesn’t amount to enough evidence in my book.

      Well, as it happens, the person in question had been a CI concern for 3 years by then. 3 years. So that's not why it happened.

      And you know what intelligence is? Always? Rumors? Is that fucking news to you? Is the problem here that GOPers are just fucking naive about how spying works? Even the ones who oversee it?

      Do you similarly call for all drug defendants to be released bc they're also found the same way? You want to empty the prisons bc informants were used to fill them? Then do it. But do it consistently. Not just for some twerp who nosed into the Trump campaign.

          The thread is that when pressed about what distinguishes 4 year CI concern Carter Page from every other CI concern, you make stuff up. Just pure invention.
