The Washington Post reports FBI’s investigation of Trump included a counterintelligence inquiry:

The FBI investigation into President Trump that was opened almost immediately after he fired then-Director James B. Comey also included a counterintelligence component to determine if the president was seeking to help Russia, and if so, why, according to people familiar with the matter.

The decision by then-acting FBI director Andrew McCabe to open an investigation of a sitting president was a momentous step, but it came after Trump had cited the ongoing investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 election in his decision to fire Comey, these people said.

The counterintelligence component of the Trump investigation was first reported by the New York Times.

Late Saturday night, Fox News host Jeanine Pirro asked Trump in an interview if he is or ever was working for Russia. Trump responded, "I think it’s the most insulting thing I’ve ever been asked." Referring to the New York Times story, he went on, "I think it’s the most insulting article I’ve ever had written."

    The closest aligator to you is one of the weakest, almost all of its teeth are gone and its appears more interested in the other aligators than it does of you. The answer is not to make the other aligators stronger by taking out the one that is the biggest threat to them but the weakest to you.

    Where was Trump when the Republicans and Democrats passed 2012 NDAA? Where was Trump when they went to war in Iraq or Afghanistan? Where was Trump when they bailed out the insurance companies but raised your rates?

    Trump is the least threatening of the thousands of aligators out there right now, an unless you do it all at once you wont get passed that first one. But thats because in reality you don't want to. You are okay as long as you only get eaten by a blue one.
