re: What is the goal of the NYT spy story??

As people have mentioned here, they’re getting ahead of it to sugarcoat what’s going to be reported.

My summary of the NYT’s article was their admitting of the Trump campaign being spied on with an informant being implanted into the campaign circle.

The way they’re sugarcoating it is by saying that it was for the country’s protection against the Russians and they didn’t tell the campaign, because they didn’t want to “damage” his election efforts.

We’ve come a long way from Trump being called a liar for saying Obama tapped his wires in March of 2017.
