I think that Pesky Admiral from No Such Agency put a crimp in their plans in March 2016 [same time Trump became the GOP frontrunner] (pic related)…and that is what/where/why/&who started the 'Russian Collusion Counter Intelligence Op"
They were arrogant, they were careless…this CI Op was a coverup because Adm R caught them tapping the FISA data red-handed and began performing FISA due diligence duties
I don't think we (Public) know which contactor was tapping the Raw FISA database at FBI, but pretty sure they're connected to Dem Oppo research. When they got caught, (((they))) had to SCRAMBLE to legitimize the FISA abuse/spying (and quickly)
Russia, Russia, Russia: HRC / EU planned war with Russia so they already had been working 'demonize the enemy' psyops, so it was obvious "Russia" would be designated as the "big bad wolf"
First attempt(s) for FISA warrant were denied (oh sh!t, the FISA judge has never turned us down before, Did Adm R get to them?!), hence the immediate need for some Trumped up probable cause (aka Steele Dossier)
Trump was already using a Rolling Stones song, so (((they))) thought it would be funny to use Jumpin' Jack Flash against him…"in fact it's a gas"
My thoughts…feedback welcome. I was going to say 'we'll all know pretty soon' but this is unfolding at the speed of glacial thrust, so I'm not holding my breath
