New trump theory re; wiretapping claims...

[jmg257]

After seeing a report via Circa news that said they confirmed 1) the FISA warrant in October, and 2) there was a separate 'investigation' into the trump server with supposed russian bank ties, which turned out was not at trump tower.

FISA used in probe

For instance, the FBI and Justice Department received a Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act warrant in October to help further the Russia investigation. Officials stressed there were no intercepts of Trump’s phone or emails.

Separately, they used traditional investigative techniques to review a computer server tied to the the soon-to-be-president's businesses in Trump Towers in New York but located elsewhere.

Now - I never heard of Circa news (& their site is terrible), but...

What if trump knows the warrant(s) existed (though denied by Clapper)? What if he knows he was being investigated for good cause?

What if he knows when it all comes out, he is likely to be brought down...UNLESS he can say: "see I told you! - this is all a conspiracy against me - put in place by Obama". He does this false direction shit all the time with "fake news!", "election fraud!", and every other claims against him - kill the messengers, not the message.

I think when the truth about FISA warrant(s) does come out...{Clapper saying no vs Mensch & BBC & Circa saying yes}, that their will be quite a battle just on that subject alone.

1. Can one FOIA all existing FISA warrants?

3. I heard early on that if trump mentions them, he effectually declassifies them, and then yes

they can be FOIA.

Damn if I can keep it all straight anymore though.

2. Just wake me up when the impeachment hearings start & the Nazi-in-Chief is frog-marched...

out of the White house.

4. Please don't assign more intelligence to this baboon than is justified.

He read a Breitbart piece and reacted like an unrefined caveman. That is all.

5. That STILL

has NOTHING to do with the claim from the degenerate that Pres Obama committed a felony and illegally got the fbi to wiretap donnie's personal phone. Don't get caught up in all the other details. THAT was the claim from donnie and it's total bullshit.

6. Understood / I'm saying that is WHY he made the claim.

Puts blame (though falsely) on Obama, so creates doubt about his own misdeeds.

7. He made the claim

for being stupid enough to believe anything that comes from right wing media (in this case, breitbart). I honestly don't think any of his team knew he was going to tweet about it.

8. Good take on all of this!
