"Intel expert: Trump will suffer paranoia as he hunts for Mar-a-Lago
mole because he has ‘no one to trust’

Donald Trump may have trust issues in his marriage as he seeks to find
out the mole who reportedly was instrumental in the FBI search warrant executed at Mar-a-Lago on Monday.
On Wednesday, The Wall Street Journal reported that following a June
meeting with the FBI at Mar-a-Lago, "someone familiar with the stored
papers told investigators there may be still more classified documents
at the private club after the National Archives retrieved 15 boxes
earlier in the year, people familiar with the matter said.
Following the report, prominent conservative attorney George Conway
wondered on Twitter, "Who is CI-1?"
Under standard abbreviation in a federal court filing, "CI-1" would
refer to the first "confidential information" mentioned, with subsequent
CIs receiving subsequent numbers.
Peter Strzok, who served as deputy assistant FBI director running the counterintelligence division responded to Conway, wondering "And -2? And
-3?"
Strzok posted a photo of legendary CIA counterintelligence official
James Angelton, who was the top Russian spy hunter for two decades
during the cold war.
"So much paranoia in a mole hunt, no one to trust, so much to do, so
much to lose, so many walls closing in so fast," Strzok explained.
He noted it also "might be Melanie" Trump, the former president's third
wife who spent four years as his first lady.
Conway added, "If there's probable cause for a physical search, there
could be probable cause to intercept electronic communications and phone calls.""
Someone should make a board game out of this, sort of like Clue. I vote for Melania in her sitting room, with a cell phone, right between
the idiot's shoulder blades. She has all sort of motives going on. lol

"With Feds Circling, Trump Asks Allies: Who’s ‘Wearing a Wire’?
As the investigations heat up, the former president and his advisers are pointing fingers — and looking for “rats”
By ASAWIN SUEBSAENG
Donald Trump is worried he may have a rat — or multiple rats — in his midst. He’s wondering if his phones are tapped, or even if one of his
buddies could be “wearing a wire.”
As the federal and state investigations into Trump and his orbit swell,
so have the former president’s suspicions, according to two sources
familiar with the matter and another two people close to the
twice-impeached former Oval Office occupant.
This summer, Trump has asked close associates if they think his
communications are being monitored by the feds, or — per his phrasing — “by Biden.” As a source close to Trump describes it to Rolling Stone:
“He has asked me and others, ‘Do you think our phones are tapped?’ Given the sheer volume of investigations going on into the [former] president,
I do not think he’s assuming anything is outside the realm of possibility.”
The source adds, “He’s talked about this seriously [in the past few months], but I know of one time when he made a joke that was something
like, ‘Be careful what you say on the phone!’”
Moreover, on at least a couple of occasions since May, the former
president has wondered aloud if there were any Republicans visiting his
clubs who could be “wearing a wire,” according to another person close
to Trump and a different source familiar with the matter. Trump and his
allies are baselessly floating the idea that federal agents could be
guilty of “planting” incriminating evidence at his private resort. And
the ex-president and several of his longtime advisers are trying to
figure out if they have, in their terminology, a “mole” or a “rat” in Trump’s inner sanctum who is slipping his secrets to the feds. "

Jared has also risen to the top of many "rat" lists. It's easy to imagine him snooping around in Melania's underwear.
