Once upon a time, the FBI said some thugs planned to rob a bank in town. Thugs are always looking to rob banks. They try all the time. But at this particular time, the FBI was hyper-focused on potential bank robberies in this particular town.
The best way to prevent the robbery — which is the goal, after all — would be for the FBI to alert all the banks in town. “Be on high alert for suspicious activity,” the FBI could tell the banks. “Report anything suspicious to us. We don’t want you to get robbed.”
Instead, in this fractured fairytale, the FBI followed an oddly less effective, more time-consuming, costlier approach. It focused on just one bank. And, strangely, it picked the bank that was least likely to be robbed because nobody thought it would ever get elected president — excuse me, I mean, because it had almost no cash on hand. (Why would robbers want to rob the bank with no cash?)

In the end, the FBI held out hope that the townsfolk wouldn’t focus on the idea that all the FBI’s hard work and planning to supposedly protect the town’s banks only resulted in the utter failure of its stated mission: The bank got robbed, the cash would never be recovered, and the robbers would never serve time. Yet, some of the bank employees might — not for the robbery but for that other stuff.
The moral of the story: It’s a weird way to prevent a bank robbery.
On the other hand, if the FBI’s real goal — in this fractured fairytale — was to frame the hated owner of the bank and his employees, it all makes sense.

There's only two possibilities here:
1) The FBI really thought Trump HIMSELF was a Russian agent. If true, then it makes sense not to brief him since he was in on it too. However, almost no one, even the Dems, claim Trump himself was in on it which makes this possibility seems unlikely.
2) The FBI didn't think Trump was a Russian agent. They didn't give him a defensive briefing because they wanted to set him up.
There's no other possibilities.

Yep.
Why would the Russians attempt to gain control and influence the one candidate who was deemed to have zero shot?

Especially when you consider they already had proven to themselves that they could bribe Hillary during the Uranium One affair.

I seriously hope she has a bodyguard & excellent security at her home. I am worried about her. She is spitting out way too much truth.

And, Russia being a gas station posing as a country, and Trump the candidate had made it very clear he was going to put the US energy industry on a rampage if elected. And Hils was going to continue the previous admin policy hoping gas reached 10 bucks a gallon.
