Not true. In fact Linsey Graham asked this exact same question to AG Barr in his latest hearing. It's puzzling to both the chairman and AG that FBI suspected at the time that Carter Page, George Papadopoulus and Manafort were working with Russians but they chose NOT to tell the Trump campaign about it. AG Barr testified that there were two former US attorneys working in the Trump campaign -- Rudy and Chris Christie. FBI could easily convey the message with those two. Unless FBI's goal all along was to frame American citizens and not stopping Russians.[/quote]

OK, let's play a logic game here. You are the FBI and our allies abroad have captured first hand sourcing (ie on audio/video) of some of the names listed talking to Russians about the election, or they have captured Russians talking among themselves, citing some of the names above in their conversation. You are suggesting that rather than further the investigation, they should instead notify Trump that some of his people are being talked about by Russians or were talking to Russians?

That isn't how it works.

And Rudy is as dirty as it gets so I don't know why you cite him in some extolling manner. There is a reason Christie didn't join the Administration - he wasn't compromised or dirty enough.[/quote]

You are not making any sense. Let's play your logic game but replace Trump with Obama.

You are the FBI and our allies abroad have captured first hand sourcing that some Obama people talking to Russians about the election. According to you, FBI shouldn't notify Obama but just carry on surveillance. That isn't how it works. Remember at that point, Trump had already clinched the nomination and was receiving classified briefings.

(AG Barr mentioned the fact there were two US attorneys working in the Trump campaign in Graham's hearing. He didn't understand why FBI can't share that information with Trump or the two US attorneys.)[/quote]

[b]And in those classified briefings that Trump was receiving, he was told about Russian interference. And he deflected and denied it was happening. Perhaps a different response would have merited a different action from the FBI, but in this case, his reaction prompted more concern. How do you not get that?[/quote][/b]

Dp. I think you are confused. FBI gave him his first briefing 8/17/16 according to an NPR article dated 8/16/16. The Veselnitskaya meeting happened before then.

You are making my point. The FBI briefed him on activites he already knew about and he shunned their admonition, much to their surprise and horror.[/quote]
