I sincerely doubt Trump was kept up to date about the investigation. If he knew all along, why would he make the tweet.
But even if he was kept in the loop, what a horrible way to run an investigation! The FBI lets the target of an investigation in on the details of what that investigation is finding? Absurd!
Even if obamas people just told Hillarys team about the wiretaps, that is too far. They had no right to any of the information that the rest of the public wasn't allowed to see. Letting Hillarys team know this allowed them to smear Trump having possible connections to the Russians and would provide her a strategic advantage in the election.
Why would they risk these situations? Keep in mind, there is no possible benefit to the investigation by telling HIIllarys people this at all. The only possible reason for this was to help HIllarys campaign, and that is ridiculous.
But it appears that Mook has given us proof that the investigators were discussing the case with Hillarys team, and thats enough for the public to be outraged.

Seems a bit strange coming from a poster who always demands proof of everything.

I would like proof before coming to any conclusion.
That would include whether or not Trump's team was also told.
Mr. Clapper said that career intelligence officers would conduct the briefings, and that neither he nor any other political appointee would attend.
“As a legal matter, the president can tell the nominees as much or as little as he believes is necessary or prudent,” said Susan Hennessey of the Brookings Institution, adding that President Obama had indicated that he would allow intelligence officials to make the determination about what information Mr. Trump and Mrs. Clinton will receive.
“With all forms of sharing classified information, there is a strong tendency to err on the side of caution,” she said.
Everything I posted is true given the best case circumstance for the Obama admin, that they only told the Clinton campaign that there were wiretaps on the Russians. Mook has admitted at least this. This still would lead to all three of the problems I outlined.
I don't how to make this more clear. Any conversation between Obama intelligence investigators and Hillarys team on this matter, no matter how few details were given, is grossly inappropriate.
I fail to see how you just saying we don't know exactly what was said answers anything in my post.

Does anybody see the problem here? I am sure or let say I bet that Hillary was the one getting the favors with Obama
Then by your standards, I want you to provide proof positive that Trumps campaign was also told about this.
You and I spent more than a few discussions about Hillarys emails being classified when went sent and received and you denied it until the very end because there was no "proof". Until Comey stated it to be a fact.
Seems you have double standards depending on which candidate is being discussed.

So?
I bet trumps campaign got the lowdown too.
Weren't they both getting the same security briefings during the campaign?

So much corruption, not a single god-damned indictment.

Comeys callig out to the DOJ to refute Trumps claims, which they failed to do, would appear that the FISA warrant came straight from the DOJ and not the FBI.
stock upon popcorn, it is going to be a wild ride.
