President Trump said Wednesday that people pushing the “phony collusion” story on Russia are finally having to answer questions about how the FBI was being fed information from a confidential informant from within his campaign.
“Look how things have turned around on the Criminal Deep State,” Trump said on Twitter Wednesday morning. “They go after Phony Collusion with Russia, a made up Scam, and end up getting caught in a major SPY scandal the likes of which this country may never have seen before! What goes around, comes around!”

It was revealed over the weekend that one in particular, Stefan Halper, was getting information to U.S. officials about Trump’s campaign. Trump called that revelation “Spygate.”
SPYGATE could be one of the biggest political scandals in history!

Trump also quoted Fox News contributor Judge Andrew Napolitano who confirmed that there was at least one informant within the Trump campaign.
“‘It’s clear that they had eyes and ears all over the Trump Campaign’ Judge Andrew Napolitano,” he said.
Trump also rejected former Director of National Intelligence James Clapper for suggesting that Trump should be “happy” the FBI was looking at his campaign.
“No, James Clapper, I am not happy,” Trump tweeted. “Spying on a campaign would be illegal, and a scandal to boot!”
