Came across these White House Memo documents in the DoS FOIA reading room. If the surveillance began in 2015, could it be that these were the meetings to discuss surveillance results and/or future strategies? My only inkling that they might be is that there are names that look suspicious given what we know now. Rybicki, Jarrett, Guahar, Lachman, Admiral Rogers. What is interesting is that the Admiral is not an assistant, not an executive secretary - everyone else was. Was he running the meetings at the behest of obama? Also interesting is MR. ROBERT E. KRIS, Special Assistant to the Representative of the U.S. to the United Nations who, at the time, was the now famous Samantha "I didn't unmask those people" Power and was at every meeting.
I could be totally TOTALLY wrong on this, especially since these documents were apparently released as part of a lawsuit (Federation for American Immigration Reform v. USCIS, et al), but geeze-o-man, that's quite a collection of IC people.
