The 2016 election was truly one for the history books.
Donald Trump, who was initially viewed by many as a joke candidate, became so feared that the FBI was forced to spy on his campaign.
And President Trump just revealed the real reason he was spied on.
In a recent tweet, President Donald Trump revealed his theory that his campaign was spied on by the FBI during the 2016 election for the sole reason of helping Hillary Clinton win.
If the person placed very early into my campaign wasn’t a SPY put there by the previous Administration for political purposes, how come such a seemingly massive amount of money was paid for services rendered – many times higher than normal…

…Follow the money! The spy was there early in the campaign and yet never reported Collusion with Russia, because there was no Collusion. He was only there to spy for political reasons and to help Crooked Hillary win – just like they did to Bernie Sanders, who got duped!

President Trump also alluded to the fact that the same thing was done to Sen. Bernie Sanders, who was Hillary Clinton’s challenger for the Democratic nomination. There has been heavy speculation that Democrats worked to rig the election against Sanders in order to guarantee Hillary Clinton a spot in the General Election.
The theory put out by Donald Trump, while considered a “conspiracy theory” by some, has a number of supporting facts behind it. Most prominently, the fact that the campaign spy did not report any collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia raises a lot of questions.
It leads Americans to question the entire reason a spy was implanted in his campaign.
One thing that appears to be clear, at least according to a report by the Washington Post, is that the Trump campaign spy had dealt with other countries, supported by statements from a leaker who said that identifying the spy would “damage relationships with other countries that serve as U.S. intelligence partners.”
The only reason that identifying the spy would “damage relations with other countries,” would involve the spy having intimate relations with other countries. Anybody in his campaign with those dealings would very likely have knowledge of collusion with Russia if it occurred.
But one year into Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation – and nearly two years after the FBI opened their counterintelligence investigation – into collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia, it has become clear that there is little likelihood that it occurred, and if it did, the President was very unlikely to have had knowledge.
President Trump is intimately aware of this, often calling Mueller’s investigation a “witch hunt.”
WITCH HUNT!

If the spy implanted in the Trump campaign provided zero proof of collusion with Russia, yet stayed throughout his Presidential campaign, it is very unlikely he did not report the everyday activities of his campaign.
That information in the hands of the FBI could very likely have been used to help Hillary Clinton. Former FBI Director James Comey had already fully expected Clinton to win the Presidential election, and has since stated that he regrets being too critical of her for her use of a private email server for classified information.
Comey stated that if he could go back, he would not have referred to her conduct as “extremely careless,” as he feels that harmed her in the Presidential election. Comey, who headed the FBI, clearly had a bias. It is not unthinkable to speculate that the spy implanted in the Trump campaign was operating with his bosses same bias against then-candidate Trump.
