A Distinction Without a Difference: New York Times Says, F.B.I. Used Informant to Investigate Russia Ties to Campaign, Not to Spy, as Trump Claims



This is what law professors tell their students is a distinction without a difference
NY Times:
F.B.I. Used Informant to Investigate Russia Ties to Campaign, Not to Spy, as Trump Claims
The informant made contact in the summer of 2016 with Trump campaign advisers who were already under scrutiny for ties to Russia.


This is really a silly distinction. Spies inform their bosses on what they found out. In this case, the Spy actually used entrapment to snare Papadopolous.
While the DOJ was going out of their way to exonerate Hillary Clinton for mishandling classified material it was sending in spies to determine if Trump's sarcastic statement about Russia having her missing emails 
was part of a plot. Do they have any idea how ridiculous they look? They exonerate an actual crime and take seriously sarcasm.
Even as the DOJ IG closes in on those responsible for botching the Hillary investigation some the media are still making excuses for her criminal activity and still trying to criminalize innocent activity by Trump.
