From this end, it looks lithe wiretapping has stopped and that's when Trump spoke up.
I’m not sure that with regard to the NY Times, the target of the wiretapping is relevant. It’s classified information and they were given some of that information. That’s a felony.
Flynn didn't need to be confirmed.
McMaster needs it only because he wants to maintain his military rank and active duty status.
and because the hated him,that made all the more tempting for these people to show their true colors. Made him perfect bait for the sting.
The thing that does fit is the FISA stuff. Unless that came from some gather thru the incidental contact.
1-They believe Trump is in with the Russians
2-Bug all the Russians & see what else turns up
3-Use that suspicion to get a FISA to cover their butts
4-Use the FISA to get Trump campaign play-book
5-Why Hillary thought TX & GA was in play. They planted that mis-information and it sucked her away from WI & MI
6-Bill Belichek would be proud
I’m thinking that the obvious is much more likely than a alternate scenario...
“Podesta emails prove that Hill & Obama were planning to spread the “Trump/ Russia” lies since April!”

RE: It’s classified information and they were given some of that information. That’s a felony.
Well, the one who GAVE THEM THE INFORMATION committed the felony and that person’s identity needs to be discovered.
The Times or the Post or any other news agency cannot be prosecuted for receiving the information under the first amendment.
A political “Flea Flicker”. :-)

Agreed. I should have been more careful in clarifying that.
“So long as there was no deliberate “reverse targeting,” what were the feds supposed to do...”
Reverse targeting is ipso facto.
Allah Pundit is obtuse.
But let’s not forget that the Obama DOJ asserted just that in their justification for the warrant to wiretap James Rosen... that the act of a journalist soliciting classified information was criminal. I’m assuming all of the ‘journalists’ that have ‘checked with their well-placed sources inside the intelligence community’’ for the existence of FISA warrants are currently under surveillance then? After all, isn’t that soliciting classified information?
I think from a pure football perspective it was a misdirection play, or a Reverse. We called it a Y-Reverse, as Y was the tight end, he went right, all the blockers went left like for a screen pass, The tight end grabbed the pitch from the QB who was looking like he was going to pass to the RB on the left as part of the fake screen pass.
Someone should go to jail....Loretta Lynch is my first choice. Valerie Jarrett would be second. Comey my third.You don't set your sights near high enough
“...only to discover that there was blue dress...hahahaha!”
(I apologize for the following crudeness)
Heck, that didn’t stop them. They then went on and on about how oral sex wasn’t sex and didn’t count. That was the first time OS was mentioned on television. That discussion led to high school girls thinking it was OK to blow guys. That led to outbreaks of syphilis in schools across the country, and guys finding out the girl they wanted to kiss has had the entire football team dump in her mouth. Thanks a lot, Clinton and MSM. You’ve made the world so much better. I hope I live to see them all publically disgraced and rightfully incarcerated.
The NY article states Trump Associates as Wiretapped. That not the same as tapping a foreigner stumble across someone from Trump campaign calling them
Here is the original Heat Street ( part of the News Corporation ) Report:
https://heatst.com/world/exclusive-fbi-granted-fisa-warrant-covering-trump-camps-ties-to-russia/
The first request, which, sources say, named Trump, was denied back in June, but the second was drawn more narrowly and was granted in October after evidence was presented of a server, possibly related to the Trump campaign, and its alleged links to two banks; SVB Bank and Russia’s Alfa Bank.
While the Times story speaks of metadata, sources suggest that a FISA warrant was granted to look at the full content of emails and other related documents that may concern US persons.
[SNIP]
The FISA warrant was granted in connection with the investigation of suspected activity between the server and two banks, SVB Bank and Alfa Bank. However, it is thought in the intelligence community that the warrant covers any ‘US person’ connected to this investigation, and thus covers Donald Trump and at least three further men who have either formed part of his campaign or acted as his media surrogates.
The warrant was sought, they say, because actionable intelligence on the matter provided by friendly foreign agencies could not properly be examined without a warrant by US intelligence as it involves ‘US Persons’ who come under the remit of the FBI and not the CIA. Should a counter-intelligence investigation lead to criminal prosecutions, sources say, the Justice Department is concerned that the chain of evidence have a basis in a clear warrant.
In June, when the first FISA warrant was denied, the FBI was reportedly alarmed at Carter Page’s trip to Moscow and meetings with Russian officials, one week before the DNC was hacked.
Counter intelligence agencies later reported to both Presidential candidates that Russia had carried out this hack; Donald Trump said publicly in the third debate that ‘our country has no idea’ if Russia did the hacking. The discovery of the Trump Tower private Russian server, however, communicating with Alfa Bank, changed matters, sources report.
Thanks, I had no idea.
