There may be much more than a trail of breadcrumbs.
True, it needs to be some very substantial connection(s)..... but my point remains that it will not (most likely) be any written legal “order” from anyone in the WH, so the non-denial denials we are seeing today will be literally true but substantively misleading.
Very Clintonesque....
The Obama administration ordered the wiretap because thy thought they could get away with it. Hillary would get in and then bury the evidence along with burying, literally, the low-level operatives who placed the taps.
The Obama administration never considered Trump might win. Now he’s on the inside with access to everything and these low-level operatives might be getting nervous about doing serious jail time if they’re caught. Better to make a plea deal and finger the people up the food chain in exchange for leniency.
