In opening an investigation of the Trump campaign, the FBI felt it had reached a ‘tipping point,’ IG finds.
The FBI had barely closed a politically volcanic investigation into Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s use of a private email server when it got a troubling tip about her rival’s presidential campaign.
On July 28, 2016, the bureau received information from an Australian diplomat, who said a Donald Trump campaign aide had “suggested the Trump team had received some kind of suggestion from Russia” that Moscow could anonymously release damaging information about Clinton, according to the long-awaited Justice Department inspector general’s report released Monday.
The tip, vague as it was, shook senior FBI officials, who were already investigating suspected Russian interference in the 2016 campaign, including the theft of emails from the Democratic National Committee. Three days later, the FBI took the momentous decision to open a counterintelligence investigation of a presidential campaign, as the election season entered the home stretch.

Nude pictures of Treasonous Trump - I cant think of anything grosser 🤮 However, your story is missing many key details. I know, I know, MAGA MAGGOTS hate facts, details, and truth, so forgive me for attempting to educate you.
Excerpts from Interview with Russian Pranksters:
“We wanted to talk to someone who specifically works on intelligence and give him a completely insane version of events,” Kuznetsov told me of the prank. “We leaked him a bunch of disinformation,” Stolyarov said. “It was completely absurd.”
A spokesman for Schiff said, “Before agreeing to take the call, and immediately following it, the committee informed appropriate law-enforcement and security personnel of the conversation, and of our belief that it was probably bogus.”
BTY, THIS IS WHAT REAL PATRIOTIC AMERICANS DO WHEN APPROACHED BY FOREIGN AGENTS WITH BLACKMAIL INFORMATION
(Cont)
He and Stolyarov have repeatedly denied any connection to the Russian secret services, but they clearly have cozy ties to the government. They have had shows on several Kremlin-controlled TV channels, which requires high-level approval. When I met them, they casually mentioned that they had been at the Russian Parliament the day before, meeting with a well-known elected official. “We’re working on a project,” Stolyarov said coyly, then bragged about having hacked the Skype account of the late Russian oligarch—and Putin enemy—Boris Berezovsky “for a long time.” They had somehow obtained the cellphone numbers of foreign leaders such as Turkey’s Recep Tayyip Erdoğan.
Kuznetsov and Stolyarov have an extensive list of American victims. In February, posing as the Ukrainian prime minister, they prank-called Senator John McCain, who confessed that the Trump era was the hardest time of his long political life. “He sounded like he didn’t know what to do—like, at all,” Kuznetsov recalled. That same month, they prank-called Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, who told them that “he would do his best and not impose new sanctions on Russia.”
