FBI warned Trump in 2016 Russians would try to infiltrate his campaign
FBI warned Trump in 2016 Russians would try to infiltrate his campaign
WASHINGTON — In the weeks after he became the Republican nominee on July 19, 2016, Donald Trump was warned that foreign adversaries, including Russia, would probably try to spy on and infiltrate his campaign, according to multiple government officials familiar with the matter.
"If you see these kinds of contacts please let us know about them so we can keep you updated on the threat picture," said Frank Montoya, a former FBI counterintelligence agent and supervisor who retired in 2016.

Was this part of the "plan" that McCabe, Strokjk, and his piece of tail came up with in McCabes office? Or did you not read the text messages?

I've read the text messages. Including the one's where he rails against Clinton, Sanders, the Media and countless other people.

Did this report include the Democratic Party as well?

Could he not "take the risk" if they were elected, either? What were his "insurance policies" against it?

Yes.
Apparently, both parties were notified because they each had a level of security clearance. The kicker is that the Trump team was notified probably because the FBI already knew they were talking to the Russians.
Imagine that, the FBI was giving the Trump team a chance to come clean before the elections and they didn't. Then many on that same team went ahead and lied about the contacts even though the FBI already knew they were meeting with the Russians.

Yes.
Yet, they refused to give the FBI their servers, after getting hacked. Supposedly by Russians. Nope the Democratic Party let a company owned by a Russia, check their servers.
Or was this warning after the "hack"
