I’ll repeat what was posted yesterday here:
1. Earlier, it was reported the FISA warrant request described a ***possible*** connection to a Russian Bank.
2. All FISA warrant requests must have an international foreign party. Otherwise, a warrant request must go through US Courts or an international court.
3. The report from Gateway Pundit, an outfit whose products I generally subscribe to, writes in a manner that there is no question that a server in Trump Tower “was connected to” a Russian Bank.
4. Now how does anyone know what was in the FISA warrant request?
5. Trump Tower Manhattan is a big place zoned for mixed use, 68 stories, 10 stories for the base atrium as part of 26 stories for offices and stores, 39 stories for residences comprising 270 condominiums and then the Trump Organization and the personal Penthouse of Donald Trump occupying the top 3 floors. All the floor heights are taller than comparable building heights so the total height of the building is more than 68 typical stories.
5. The largest Chinese government-controlled bank ‘The Industrial & Commercial Bank of China Ltd.’ operates in the Trump Tower. It is highly probable, as in with probability one, that this bank has a server tied to a Russian bank and with many many other banks around the world.
6. A FISA warrant request for tapping Trump Tower based on a ‘server linked to a Russian Bank’ would give, in light of one of the largest banks in the world operating inside Trump Tower, carte blanche to launch a giant fishing expedition for monitoring all communications, transactions, correspondence and file packets coming into and going out of the building ASSOCIATED WITH THE BANK IN QUESTION. Communications intercepted from the Trump Campaign and from Donald Trump’s personal residence WOULD BE ILLEGAL unless there were probable cause to believe the Trump Campaign and Donald Trump were involved in the Chinese bank’s communication with a Foreign bank
7. If the FBI/NSA did, in fact, monitor the Trump’s campaign and personal communications, then that is a crime.
8. Gateway Pundit writes:
“The original FISA request which specifically named and broadly targeted Donald Trump was denied, a second request was redrafted months later which narrowed down on equipment in Trump Tower. The second request is said to have been granted, despite the fact that FBI sources did not believe these servers to be of actual national security or possess any illegal ties to Russia.”
NARROWED DOWN TO EQUIPMENT IN TRUMP TOWER.
That would very likely be the Chinese Bank’s servers linked to Russian Banks and other banks which is normal for international banks.
9. If President Trump has evidence of Obama’s FBI listening to his campaign or his personal communications, then he has evidence of a felony committed by the Obama Administration.
10. Fact: if the Trump Administration has evidence of an Obama conspiracy to violate the law, the Obama underlings will likely agree to a plea deal in exchange for testimony leading to Lynch, Jarrett and others at the highest level. If any of Obama’s inner circle turn evidence on Obama, Obama may be the first President in US history to be charged with a felony.
My sense is that President Trump will decide to either prosecute Obama and all his minions. or reach a deal with them in return for enormous, massive political concessions. Either way, the democrats and their progressive socialism era will be brought to an end.

Well done. Excellent post.
Would getting email offering services from the bank qualify?
PFL
Good summary. The story I read in an article over the weekend suggested that there WERE financial transactions conducted between two Russian banks and Trump’s company, but that there was a perfectly reasonable explanation for it. They were transactions at Trump hotels around the world, involving guests who were using credit cards issued by those two banks.
GREAT POST...BRAVO!
Thanks for the analysis! Pinging out...

From you post to God’s eyes.
Correct though I'd note it's the world's largest bank in terms of assets and deposits, second in market capitalization. Whether number 1 or 2 it's reasonable to assume they have relationships with most nations in the world. A wonderful place to go fishing. Or is it pfishing.
Thank you for your post at #7. It provides an excellent summary for a drive-by Freeper.
But let me take polite issue with your conclusion above.
One of the benefits of having a bottom line operator in the Oval Office rather than a career politician is that he will most likely intuitively realize the players can provide too little, or nothing at all in the form of [B] enormous political concessions.
This for three reasons: either they cannot provide anything of size at all, or can provide only something with a limited shelf life, or will be able to provide only that which he himself can obtain in the normal course of his presidency.
It is true, of course, that he will certainly dangle benefits to entice the fringe players to be of assistance.
But I think he will choose to “behead” those in the top ranks with [A] above as being the more effective. (AKA, the "heads on pikes" gambit.)
