They are trying to find something anything to justify their wiretaps. They know they did it illegally but now are stuck.
If they started an investigation in July they’d have good reason to get legal wiretaps. But they didn’t. This is all a bunch of lies to cover up what they did. They are looking for cover story to explain why they have wiretaps on Trump’s campaign.
it’s going to get really ugly and a stuck pig is going to get really loud and nasty before it is dead.
And... to keep hidden the fact that they had 'surveillance' (spying/wiretapping/turncoat insiders) on candidates on both sides, for decades.
Bernie Sanders, Bush, Romney,McCain,Sarah Palin,etc., etc.
IT'S WHO THEY ARE.
