re: Why did Obama team spy on Trump’s staff if they didn’t expect him to win?

Nixon beat McGovern 49:1 in 1972, the election was never in doubt, why did his underlings spy on McGovern creating a need for a cover-up. Unless it was in fact for the nudes of the lovely Maureen Dean it made no sense except hubris or stupidity.

They spied to give a leg up to Hillary. Hillary would get glimpses into his campaign, policy, who is loyal to him.

Also, I think the fact that Trump called Hillary out a lot made them go further.

THEY NEVER THOUGHT SHE WOULD LOSE.
