"SPYGATE (Conspiracy Theory) - Wikipedia"
SOURCE: en.wikipedia.org...(conspiracy_theory)
Spygate is a conspiracy theory developed and popularized by the United States president Donald Trump. With no actual supporting evidence produced, the May 2018 allegations have been widely described as blatantly false.
On May 22 - May 23, 2018, Trump announced and elaborated, without providing evidence, on the existence of this conspiracy via his Twitter account, stating his belief that the previous administration under Barack Obama paid to plant a spy inside Trump's 2016 presidential campaign.
Democratic (Adam Schiff) and Republican (Paul Ryan, Trey Gowdy, Tom Rooney, Richard Burr, Jeff Flake and Marco Rubio) Congressmen have dismissed Trump's May 2018 allegations as lacking evidence, and maintained that the FBI did not do anything improper.
In June 2018, Trump again alleged, without providing any evidence, that there was a counter-intelligence operation into the Trump campaign starting from December 2015.
The New York magazine addressed the June 2018 allegations by stating: "It’s not surprising or scandalous that FBI agents would be using espionage tradecraft. Gateway Pundit seems to have invented the crucial factual element of the conspiracy out of thin air" while "Trump is citing right-wing conspiracy theorists who operate at a full level further removed from reality than the right-wing conspiracy theorists he customarily cites."
Zack Beauchamp of Vox wrote about the situation which was "entirely unfounded in the actual evidence" is that "Fox picks up on some random internet rumor, the president picks it up from Fox, and then Fox and other right-wing outlets leap to defend what the president tweeted, which only reinforces Trump’s sense that he’s right."

Wikipedia is a Left Wing propaganda site. You can’t trust the information there...especially in regards to conspiracies. It is a lot like Snopes. A supposed authority without any real credibility.

I didn't know that! Since it's one of the default FIREFOX search engines, I (wrongly) assumed that Wikipedia was a reference source with integrity. Thank-you for teaching me something tonight, Metallicus.

1. Is Wikipedia owned by a left-wing organization? Usually, the articles seem to be based on fact, but this one reads like Obama's DOJ/FBI worked with CNN and MSNBC to write it as anti-Trump as possible.

So Wiki is OK unless they post something you don't care for? Then they are a "left wing org?"
