President Trump has had enough and it is about time. He is demanding the DoJ look into any possible surveillance of the Trump campaign for political purposes. Within hours, the DoJ also asked the watchdog to look into any impropriety.
The President tweeted, “I hereby demand, and will do so officially tomorrow, that the Department of Justice look into whether or not the FBI/DOJ infiltrated or surveilled the Trump Campaign for Political Purposes — and if any such demands or requests were made by people within the Obama Administration!” the president tweeted.

THE DOJ DOUBLES UP ON TRUMP’S REQUEST
“The Justice Department asked its watchdog to look into any alleged “impropriety or political motivation” in the FBI’s investigation of Russian interference in the 2016 election, the DOJ said Sunday night — hours after President Trump ordered a review looking into whether federal agents infiltrated or surveilled his campaign for political purposes,” Fox News Catherine Herridge reported.
DOJ spokeswoman Sarah Isgur Flores told Fox News also released a response from Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein: “If anyone did infiltrate or surveil participants in a presidential campaign for inappropriate purposes, we need to know about it and take appropriate action.”
Trump had jumped the gun, Guiliani suggested, when he said a spy was planted. The DoJ is calling  the alleged spy, an informant.
The DoJ/FBI will get away with it, no matter what they did ir didn’t do.
The manner in which DOJ replies asking for the IG to investigate would allow a result to be a matter of finding any “Russian moles”. It was all above board and to “benefit” Trump.
I came to realize after watching some Professor on Fox earlier who attempted to dismiss any serious concerns on the matter. Every one who has taken the other side in dismissing concerns, or accusing Trump of some nefarious actions, all remove and isolate certain segments, and use those individual segments, in isolation, to make the compelling argument for their case. This only works when ignoring the totality of all the data, which is what the Professor was attempting to do. This is the method Painter used on Fox by only repeating Flynn pleaded guilty. There’s a great deal more to All these individual snippet stories.
I agree, the DOJ response is consistent with its deep involvement in the coverups. Trump was given an incredible disadvantage by the betrayal of Sessions.
Foaming at the mouth Trump haters will manage to twist that Trump message into something disconnected from reality, something that makes Trump look like the bad guy.
but here is what I see,
Trump is impressively polite and Presidential in that text.
He shows so much restraint I am truly impressed
Trump was spied on during his campaign, that is not only a crime against him it is supremely offensive/insulting, he would be allowed to call Obama, Hillary and all their dirty accomplices pieces of sh*t, but he does not.
I already had a lot of respect for Trump but it just went up a notch.
It should no longer be called Industrial Espionage, but rather “Industrial Informants”.
It’s not “leaking” if I give it to a friend to,… “leak”.
This country has learned a great deal from Clinton, ….(is).
