OK, wow - the NY Times tells us that after Comey was fired the FBI complemented their criminal investigation of Trump with a counterintelligence probe.
No reporting on whether the FBI sought, or found probable cause for, FISA warrants for folks other than Carter Page.
Why the revelation?
Who knows?
But a Trump-philic spin would be that Team Mueller is shifting the goalposts and trying to let The Resistance down gently.
Note this deeply buried explanation of the two types of investigations:
The F.B.I. conducts two types of inquiries, criminal and counterintelligence investigations.
Unlike criminal investigations, which are typically aimed at solving a crime and can result in arrests and convictions, counterintelligence inquiries are generally fact-finding missions to understand what a foreign power is doing and to stop any anti-American activity, like thefts of United States government secrets or covert efforts to influence policy.
In most cases, the investigations are carried out quietly, sometimes for years.
Often, they result in no arrests.
No arrests, no indictments, just a deeper understanding - well, that might cover the last two years. Hard news for The Resistance, if that is where this is headed..."
The NY Times “bombshell” should’ve read:
BREAKING: Hard Evidence Emerges That The FBI Used Political Misinformation To Target Trump
