I think you are on to something - I was wondering about the judges that okayed the request.
The only reason they got the second FISA warrant was because they made the two Russian banks the subject of the inquiry. Then a warrantless wiretap could be put in place without PROBABLE CAUSE even. They could listen to Trump Tower til the cows came home under the guise of investigating the Russian banks.
Really the legal or illegal tap may be irrelevant and the red herring to avoid
We are dealing with lawyers that at the very end would have done something anything to make a tentatively case that they were legal just for cya in case the lost the election
No the REAL thing we must follow is.. how was the information use...that the key!
Do not get side track with Obama and his people arguing whether the tap was legal or illegal that’s a red herring they’re counting on to lawyer up for years ....no! Avoid that argument its a Trap
Go straight to the meat of the matter....... was the information used in The Campaign against Trump... which is definitely illegal !!!!
We know in flynn case Intel may have been legally gathered but illegally used for political reasons ...same here
