I suspect that we are in the process of uncovering the worst political scandal in American history, in which the most fearsome tool of federal government spying was turned against the Trump campaign. A cabal manipulated behind the scenes to subvert the legal safeguards that are supposed to prevent such an abuse.
The National Security Agency (NSA) picks up and records almost all electronic communications, thereby effectively wiretapping telephone conversations, email, and practically everything else we send out electronically. When a FISA court permits “unmasking†of American citizens, that universal wiretapping capability can be used to spy on their conversations. It now appears that an elaborate plot was crafted to generate phony accusations of dirty ties to Russia that would be used to get a FISA Court warrant to “unmask†members of the Trump campaign, and thereby enable spying on that campaign. We do not know how many members of that campaign were “unmasked†(i.e., spied on), but there are suggestions that the list ended up quite long.

I strongly suspect that Mr. Lifson is entirely correct!

I think he's underrating it. I think the leadership of the NSA and CIA were working with the White House and fusion GPS people to orchestrate this.

Oh and I forgot to include the DOJ including the FBI.

Ok I would agree with you then.

If this is as presented then it's a bombshell. Or should be. Or will be swept under the rug.

At right about the same time the Hillary campaign and the DNC did as well.
