There is little dispute that the term "spy-gate" was strictly a Trump idea, although he walks around stating that others are spewing it.......and beside his loyal cadre of ass kissers, no one else is repeating the term because it is downright moronic.....and here's why:
Dozens of reports exist that the FBI....based on the corrupt dealings of Trump acolytes like Manafort, Flynn, Papadapolous, Page, Gates, et al.........approached BOTH campaigns warning them that Russian thugs and money were trying to infiltrate and possibly recruit campaign staff members........Such reports go on to state that the FBI URGED the campaigns to quickly report any attempts, if indeed Russian approaches were made.
With the above in mind, what does the Trump entourage do???
Well, Manafort, Kushner and Donny-baby get a few emails (see below) and RATHER than following the crucial urging by the FBI to contact them about such approaches..........INSTEAD........host Russians right in those damn Trump Tower offices.
Any objective review of these incidences would clearly point out that the temptation to get dirt on Hillary from the Russians, "trumped" (pardon the expression) the ethical decency to follow the FBI's directives.......AND, foreseeing how truly corrupt their actions were, the trump team decides to attack (as their best defense) that the FBI had the gall to "SPY" on their corrupt practices.
This was based on the Trump acolytes' ARROGANCE and a screwed up sense that if you can cheat in business, why not also in politics?
For those who have forgotten......here's a copy of the email exchanges between Donny-baby and Goldstone.
The emails, below, were released by D. Trump Jr. from June, 2016 correspondence…..
Good Morning.
Emin just asked me to contact you with something very interesting. The Crown prosecutor of Russia met with his father Aras this morning, and in their meeting offered to provide the Trump campaign with some official documents and information that would incriminate Hillary and her dealings with Russia and could be very useful to your father.
This is obviously very high level and sensitive information but is part of Russia and it’s government’s support for Mr. Trump — helped along by Aras and Emin.
What do you think is the best way to handle this information and would you be able to speak to Emin about it directly?
I can also send this information to your father via Rhona, but it is ultra sensitive so I wanted to send to you first.
Best, Rob Goldstone.

Thanks Rob, I appreciate that. I am on the road at the moment but perhaps I just speak to Emin first. Seems we have some time and if it’s what you say I love it especially later in the summer. Can we do a call first thing next week when I am back?
The crown prosecutor of Russia (General, Yuri Y. Chaika) is a position directly appointed by Vladimir Putin.
