The F.B.I. used an undercover investigator — the research assistant, who went by the name Azra Turk — and Stefan Halper, a professor in Britain and longtime informant, to make contact with Mr. Papadopoulos (Mr. Halper also made contact with two other campaign officials, Sam Clovis and Carter Page).

There is no such thing as fake news.

"The counterintelligence methods used by the F.B.I. are common — and were a legitimate response to reports of Russian interference."

Glad we cleared that up.

At least we know now that Trump was right all along.

Well if Trump said that the FBI was spying on Russia through Trump's campaign because Trump's campaign was a conduit to Russian cyberespionage then yeah I guess he was right :)

Its going to be funny when we find out that Trump spied on every democrat candidate.

Dems will cry foul though and claim their first amendments rights were violated.
