Rand Paul‏ formally requests info on whether he was surveilled. #TrumpRussia







Looks like the guy McCain called a Russian on the Senate floor is joining trump's cyber lynching of President Obama and NSA Susan Rice. How much Russian mob money did Rand take anyway?


Guilty by inference on Twitter, yeah that's going to scare them into lawyering up.

4. Purpose of cyber lynching President Obama is to impugn evidence gathered by legal surveillance.

When you know you have been caught and you know they have the evidence they need to convict, the tactic is to attack the evidence and get it thrown out. Trumps cyber lynching tweets came over the weekend after the white House had been served a warrant and they had to order Russia document preservation. That is not a coincidence, that was a response to them finding out about the FISA warrant when served a subpoena. They immediately developed a strategy of creating a public perception that any surveillance was illegal activity by the black guy.

If he wants to know if someone was watching him and listening in on him, he should request them under the Russian Federation Freedom of Information Act.

Oh, they don't have one? Well, tell the Donald to have his friend Vlad to grant him an exception.
