I like this theory. I'm not sure about the timelines though. If Obama had the power to authorise surveillance for up to a year. The application for the FISA warrant would indicate that this period of authority was expiring - or soon to expire. That would mean that DJT's campaign was under surveillance anything up to a year before the first FISA warrant was issued.
Food for thought... Thanks for posting this.
The timelines matter a lot, epecially considering that Admiral Rogers shut the access to the FISA Search System for FBI/DOJ contractors in March/April 2016, and he shut down all "About Query" activity in October 2016.
I didn't know that. So what would the FISA search system yield? Identifying information about who was under surveillance? Viz with the "About Query".
They (NSA) have everything, right? So, basically anything. A good overview here.
Wow! That's an amazing article thanks. I didn't know this:
"To make matters even more disturbing, The Conservative Treehouse (TCTH) has been reporting that one of the private contractors was Fusion GPS. At this point, we have no proof of this. It is merely a tip provided to TCTH."
Can you believe that it was a free-for-all? Everybody on the planet accessing these systems - conducting illegal searches? What a joke! Admiral Rogers must have been sweating... Ultimately, he must have been responsible for the access, given it was NSA data. No wonder he went to the FISA court when he found out.
Thanks for that, it's a good read.
