The timing is also interesting.

Note that the first FISA authorization was issued on October 21, 2016, then reapproved again every 90 days (under what ‘new’ evidence was it renewed, I wonder) for a total of three renewals.

Issued: 10/21/2016 for 90 days

Renewed: 1/21/2017

Renewed: 7/21/2017

Renewed: 10/21/2017

That takes it up to 1/21/2018. Gee. Right up to Inauguration Day. Could be just a coincidence. Could be. But that would allow them to keep a close tab right to the day they hand over the keys and walk out the door.

“That takes it up to 1/21/2018. Gee. Right up to Inauguration Day.”

You’re one year ahead :-) ... Trump was inaugurated in 2017 :-). They’ve been at it for a year now monitoring him ... I suspect that’s due to the Muller investigation though.

The timing confuses me too. An original FISA application and three 90-day renewals from 10-21-16 would extend to 10-16-17, approximately nine months into President Trump's administration.

Further, Comey is stated to have signed off on three of the applications, which presumably includes the initial one. This would mean approximately 10-21-16, 1-19-17, and 4-18-17; Comey was fired 5-9-17, so this adds up.

It appears that the rogue FBI was spying on President Trump's people well into his own administration.

You’ve got your years messed up. the election occurred in November of 2016. Inauguration day was 1/20/2017. Please re-check all the dates you cited.
