The Democrats, including the media, are on offense, attacking and seeking to destroy President Trump and his agenda every day. Sometimes Democrats have to play defense to defend and lie about the Obama administration's truly scandalous acts, the latest of which was his inserting spies into the Trump campaign back in 2016. Instead of admitting the problem, they are pretending that spying isn't spying. It is now "intelligence-gathering" to "help" Trump and protect Americans from the Russians.
As if we are supposed to believe that helping Trump is just part of their agenda.
Democrats, it must be remembered, worked with Russia and Russians to develop the fictitious Russian dossier. They blamed the Russians for breaking into their computers. (Somehow the Justice Department and intelligence agencies took their word for it instead of examining the computers themselves, which Democrats would not allow them to do. Isn't it stupid for Justice officials to take the DNC's word for who hacked their computers? Were they scared of the truth?)
Hillary Clinton, the Podestas, and others obviously had plenty of contacts with Russia, yet somehow no spies were embedded with the Hillary campaign, no phone calls recorded, and there was no unmasking.

To sum up, Team Obama was spying broadly on the incoming administration.

If nothing else, the Democrats are experts at semantics.
Where did all those rank and file FBI, “Whistle-blowers” go?
The Democrats are great for saying, “If Trump is innocent then why does he complain about the Mueller investigation? What is he afraid of?” Well turnabout is fair play. If Obama didn’t have the FBI spy on Trump then why don’t the Democrats want an investigation to prove it? What are they afraid of?
Only false and even Orwellian semantics.
To be a mere informant a person must already, for non-intelligence/non-police reasons, be in a place/situation and need only passively pass on information.
A spy is a person who is not already, for non-intelligence/non-police reasons, in a place/situation and who must first be actively placed in that place/situation before they can pass on information.
A mere informant need only inform and does not need to infiltrate as a spy does.
Stefan Halper was not a Trump supporter and only made contact (actively) - with the Trump campaign and the Trump supporters he targeted - to obtain (or possibly plant information) and report back to the FBI. He was a "spy" in even the strictest sense of the word.
If only Nixon had known that the Democrats are okay with spying on political opponents? /s
They are consistent, or at least there is a pattern:
—reducing taxes is stealing from the government
—breaking the law to enter the country is not illegal
—infiltrating the Trump campaign to gather or manufacture Russian dirt is not spying
You are correct.
Also:
-Abortion is not murder.
-Paying billions in cash to Iran is not bribery.
-Finding out if a Democrat presidential candidate is a US citizen is not fair.
-Homosexual marriage is not perverse.
-Lying about the Republican president is not lying.
spī/ noun
1. a person who secretly collects and reports information on the activities, movements, and plans of an enemy or competitor.
What the frack??!!
What’s amazing to me is why is nobody asking or holding the very people that were in charge accountable? Comey, Clapper, Brennan all leaders of billion dollar agencies that are or have basically admitted their total failure to protect this country and had nothing better to do than troll the Trump campaign!
And these sick Rat ba$tard establishment Republicans are the worst! For not standing up for the POTUS..
If the FBI plant in the Trump campaign wasn’t a spy, why weren’t at least a few people high up in the campaign alerted as to what was going on so they could help coordinate and ease the way for the investigation? - even Judge Napianello or whatever he’s called on Fox has come around to at least admitting this was a “judgment call” he would have handled differently....
