The surveillance and entrapment attempts of Carter Page and others were designed to collect evidence about Trump without formally documenting that Trump was the target.
After the election, to cover their tracks, James Comey, representing the FBI and the Department of Justice, misleadingly told Trump that the investigation was about Russia and a few stray people in his campaign, but they assured him he personally was not under investigation.
They lied.
Donald Trump always was, and still is, the target of the Deep State, the left-wing media and their Democrat Party collaborators.
Again, you told me about the 'design' and the motives, now tell me what actually happened, you are just repeating gibberish without any specifics, tell me what info was collected and what got leaked from the campaign?
Also, James Comey screwed Hillary's chances by making an useless announcement in the last week while keeping completely quiet about what Trump and his campaign were doing with Roger Stone, but the deep state was against Trump?
Give me a break with your bullshit.
