Let's be very clear about what we know (or think we know). First, all the so-called knowledge we have is from leaked snips of classified material from anonymous sources. Every one of these leaks comprise a criminal act and the FBI and DOJ are duty bound to prosecute those who have committed these acts.
As a result of these criminal acts we are told that on two separate occasions "someone" came to a FISA judge seeking a warrant to do "something". We are told that the first request, which was denied, mentioned the then private American citizen, Donald Trump. This request was denied and a second request was made in the month before the election (desperate for the October Surprise?) This one was granted. One of many things we do not know is whether this request was made to the same judge who denied the first.
We know nothing of the specifics of the probable cause presented.
However, my working hypothesis is that Jeff Sessions has done his due diligence and he knows all the gory details and he has shared them with Trump.
My preference would have been that Trump had taken that shared information and kept it to himself. And that Sessions turn over his findings to a US Attorney for presentation to a Grand Jury.
Then, Sessions simply makes a Press Release, stating that the matter has been referred for criminal prosecution and that no further comment will be forthcoming from the government. Nullify the posturing and preening that any Congressional investigations will surely devolve into.
Though Trump unwisely (imo) let the cat out of the bag, is this a viable option, moving forward?
