President Trump slammed “spygate” in a tweet storm Tuesday night, expressing his displeasure with the apparent surveillance of his campaign.
Trump said:
Great interview by @LouDobbs with Chris Farrell of Judicial Watch concerning the governments counter-intelligence operation into the Trump Campaign. SPYGATE at the highest level. Who would believe?

Chris Farrell, Judicial Watch. “They were running an operation to undermine a candidate for President of the U.S. These are all violations of law. This is intelligence tradecraft to steer an election. There’s nothing more grave when it comes to abuse of our intelligence system…

…This is a level of criminality beyond the pale. This is such a grave abuse of power and authority, it’s like nothing else we’ve seen in our history. This makes the Nixon Watergate burglary look like keystone cop stuff

….The greatest Witch Hunt in political history!

Trump has previously tweeted about “spygate,” a term he now uses to describe the scandal of his campaign being allegedly spied on by an FBI informant. (RELATED: Trump Points Out Hypocrisy On ‘SPYGATE’)
