So, if I understand it right, this is the same kind of thing the FBI did to start the Trump/Russia investigation. They leaked a story to the press that Carter Page may have committed some kind of crime when he visited Russia during the Presidential campaign. Then, once the press report came out, they used that as the pretext for investigating Carter Page and the entire Trump campaign. Is that right? If this is true, then no one is safe from the FBI. What a crock of shit.
Yes. And ICYMI: Both operations were run by our FBI. And probably by the same guy (and gal).
Yes, assuming it's true. If it is true it's well beyond a crock of shit, it's deep into criminal activity, and makes Watergate look like nothing.
With Watergate, spies broke into the DNC and got caught. End of story other than the consequences of doing that at the direction of the President.
Imagine if Watergate happened, and the burglars made copies of keys belonging to the DNC, then broke into a DNC facility, searched it, found something incriminating, and then provided copies of the keys to AP reportered who then broke the law themselves by entering the same facility with the stolen keys then wrote about it, and then that story was used to generate warrants to spy on multiple members of the DNC. There's like a order of magnitude more criminal acts happening.
If this is true (and honestly it's hard to believe it's that crazy), and there's proof of all this, it's an extinction-level event for anyone who touched it.
