Flynn called the Russian ambassador from the Trump tower and the press has a transcript of the call.
How on earth can they claim that there was no wiretap?
It’s interesting what nobody bothered to ask about FISA warrants when the Flynn story came up.
There was no need for FISA because:
The intercept wasn't done by NSA? What if it was done instead by GCHQ? Then, via cooperation with the Obama Administration, it was shared with the USA.
Makes all this bluster about "we didn't authorize a wiretap" (which is an obsolete term anyway) kind of a moot point.
You're suggesting that it isn't about Trump conspiring with the Russians to take down Hillary Clinton; it was really Obama conspiring with the British to take down Donald Trump?

1. I don’t doubt for a minute that the whole purpose was to take down Trump and put Hitlery in the WH.
2. If I understand correctly, it is common practice for the US to get wiretap info on its citizens from the Brits. That way they can truthfully claim that they did NOT tap anyone’s phone (or whatever communication device) and that they did not break any laws against domestic surveillance.
3. If the 0vomit administration spent one tenth the time investigating crime as they did investigating their political enemies, our crime rate would be at rock bottom. (The problem is, a lot of the major crime originates in the 0vomit administration. They don’t want to investigate themselves!)
There is no benefit for the British to be doing that.
