Here's where it gets even more interesting. I am now open to the strong possibility that the Trump campaign knew about the surveillance while it was going on ... and they used it as an opportunity to deliberately spread disinformation that cost Hillary Clinton the 2016 election.

Some people are that smart, they just hope the adversary picks up on it.

Yes, you have nailed it.

Could you imagine this wiretap revealing that Trump knows he will lose Florida, North Carolina, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania and even Texas.

Throw it out there 1 week before the election and start discussing the concession speech.

POWNED!

Democraps are easy to beat when you understand them.

That would be how professionals in counterintelligence would “play” them, and it would be a political martial arts technique as well— to blow it back on them.

Does lend to the professionals who knew what was going on- the degradation and erosion of the patriotic wings of the intel community— playing it back by extreme secrecy. Very fine hands indeed— so light the dust wasn’t moved on Valerie Jarretts desk.

"You hear that?! Trump's internals say he's losing in Florida, North Carolina, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania and Texas! We've got it in the bag!"

"Break out the champagne! It's party time!"

"But, Hillary, we've got 4 more weeks of hard campaigning! We need to..."

"Shut the #$%@ up!!" [pops cork]
