Does the timing of the CIA collecting bulk data story make anyone else think that some of the "bulk data" might have been part of how [they] were spying on the Trump campaign?
Thus far, SPYGATE has mostly focused on the FBI, which would make sense, as they are the responsible for domestic investigations. One of the things that makes the CIA story stand out is that they were collecting bulk data domestically, when their task is to provide foreign intelligence. The CIA has the ability to work with the FBI on their special "bulk collection" under EO12333. Seems to me like that would be a very convenient way to assist the FBI in ousting POTUS.

The CIA had the FBI do their dirty work for them, and justified it under Executive Order 12333 .
