Today, Fusion GPS employee Rinat Akhmetshin today confirmed his attendance at a meeting with Donald Trump Jr, Paul Manafort, and Jared Kushner along with Russian lawyer Natalia Veselnitskaya.
Accusations have arisen that the meeting was part of a wider setup to achieve a FISA warrant to wiretap phones of the Trump campaign during 2016. President Trump himself has accused the FBI under Loretta Lynch of wiretapping his campaign.
Now, a former Trump campaign official reports that Paul Manafort’s phone was subject to FISA wiretap during the infamous meeting.
Scoop: Manaforts phone was illegally bugged during meeting with Russian Lawyer, confirmed by multiple sources. Lynch ordered it.
7:28 AM - 14 Jul 2017
***********************************************
If true, this FISA warrant would have been carried out under Loretta Lynch, Attorney General to Barack Obama. Former FBI Director James Comey has testified under oath to instances of collusion between AG Lynch and the Clinton campaign during 2016, as well as obstruction of justice in the Clinton investigation.
Yesterday, multiple news agencies and President Trump all stated that Veselnitskaya was granted special permission to enter the US by Attorney General Lynch after her visa had been initially blocked.
FISA transcripts of the meeting in June 2016 may have also served the basis of the FBI’s investigation into the Trump campaign’s ties to Russia, now headed by Bob Mueller.
Other senior members of the Trump campaign may have participated in the meeting via conference call.
Update: This would have been illegal, as FISA court denied Obama’s June 2016 request.
In May, Reuters reported the FBI was investigating 18 undisclosed meetings between individuals associated with the Trump campaign and individuals who may be associated with Russia.
Also in May, Jack Posobiec broke the news that one of these meetings took place with a member of the Trump family who was not Jared Kushner. This turned out to be Donald Trump Jr.

IF?
In other words, this information is again the result of illegal leaks and unmaskings.
The article says the word “could”, not necessarily “did”...
but a following tweet says “Scoop: Manaforts phone was illegally bugged during meeting with Russian Lawyer, confirmed by multiple sources. Lynch ordered it.”
??
The Trump people knew this. That why the Russia lady said Manaford never looked up from his phone the whole meeting on GMA...
Good American people are appalled at the abuse of the intelligence agencies for political purposes. This was the worst thing possible that they spoke of when they addressed telephone surveillance on US citizens.
Congress. Demand we stop it!
if provable, game’s over...
And we are to understand that some REPUBLICAN requested Manafort to testify to Congress?
What the heck? This is getting serious.
Lynch double crosses everyone, Comey lies through his teeth, bammy says not a smidgen of anything........ and we the people are watching the destruction of our beloved country. This is why Trump was elected. WE the people are sick to death of all this corruption.
ping
Demand personal liability of any president who allows intelligence surveillance to be used politically against the people. MAKE IT HURT!
yer dreamin’......even IF provable
Such evil doings. The truth will set us free.
Melanin legacy trumps laws and the application of same. At any cost.
I CALLED IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
When this first came out- the NEXT DAY
They set up the Russians in any place so they could claim to bug them under FISA statutes
If this is the case, it appears that the Trump, Jr/Veselnitskaya, which occurred on June 9th, 2016, is pre-FISA approval.
Time for Jail for some Obama administration. Now.
I suspect this is a case of FedGov remotely hijacking a cellphone as a listening device, rather than planting a bug in the phone - this is why the denials of bugging Trump Tower were phrased in such a precise and Clintonian manner. I knew they could do it with a warrant, and I am not at all surprised that Team Hillary would try to sabotage her election opponent even without legal justification.
I expect those on Hillary’s side to illegally collude with a foreign power (Obama’s minions) to manipulate the outcome of an American election. It’s a good thing the American people were too smart to fall for it three times in a row - only twice.
These leakers, the political heads under Obama, plus many long time Gov. employee enablers- all need to be rounded up, charged,and tried. No more civil service pay for taking the 5th as- “YOU work for US-the TAXPAYERS.” We pay your salary plus every elected official’s. It is high time they all realize we are their boss.
