Have you ever known anyone who works undercover or helps to set up a sting operation. A member of our Sunday school class did that in his early days as LEO working with drug team. He even smelled the part.
I have, indeed -- even, like you -- as a fellow member of my Sunday School class (small world...).

I'll have to to examine the timeline closely, but, I believe that RR signed off on at least some of those HRC/Steele dossier-based bogus FISA warrants..
I'm not at all sure if one warrant was requested after Trump became POTUS.
If that was the case, then my "either/or" in My #688 applies.
My point is that -- unless my timeline is totally wrong -- RR committed at least one of those criminal acts when Trump could not have possibly (legally) ordered him to do so.
