I thought once something was confirmed as existing it was regarded as factual. Have I been wrong?

My 2 cents conspiracy theory is that it is even worse than Trump imagines.
MY theory is that British Intelligence incensed over Trump Brexit statements was approached by someone from the Obama Administration to plan a British intelligence agency operation on the Trump campaign and to help the Obama Deep State create a sting operation between the two deep state operatives.
To me the Australian High Commissioner (Ambassador) and Steele connection fits better this way.

But it would not be absurd to think the FBI might have sent informants to speak to suspects in their counterintelligence investigation into whether anyone in the Trump orbit was working with Russia to interfere in the presidential election. In fact, it would have been accepted procedure for the FBI. If they didn't do it when Adlai Stevenson ran against Ike, it wasn't "accepted procedure."

Sure Obama spied on Trumps campaign, but it was for the good of the country
Didn't Nixon get impeached for something along those lines? I seem to remember something. Hmmm.

>> widely dismissed as absurd by current and former law enforcement officials. <<
I seem to remember when it was absurd that Trump was "wire tapped". Now the feckless MSM is falling all over themselves making excuses for the illegal surveillance of Trump and his campaign.

What is easier to imagine true is the FBI trying to flesh out fabricate information on Russian intelligence operatives by making approaches to campaign staffers as if the reasonable suspicion was were there

Without an indictment, and there won’t be any, this will fade into oblivion, marked as a Trump Delusion. Thanks, Jeffery.

My 2 cents conspiracy theory is that it is even worse than Trump imagines. My 2 cents outlandish theory is even better than you can imagine. It helps answer the question that should be on everyone's mind right now: With all of this pervasive and illicit surveillance in place, how did Trump win?
1. Various officials in the Obama administration were conducting extensive surveillance of Trump campaign officials for months (if not longer) leading up to the election.
2. The Trump campaign knew about it.
3. THEY TOOK ACTIVE STEPS TO UNDERMINE IT.

Unnecessary. They already knew, and approved.

Everytime they do this it backfires, next we will find the spy who was embedded.

Of course not! It’s just like the time Trump said he was being wiretapped. Ridiculous! /s
