@jsolomonReports 1) John, get a clue. There is only one reason that all foreign INTEL told the same lie. That was so that Trump Campaign could be defined as foreign power via 50 USC 1801(a)(3) so that Obama could spy unilaterally via 50 USC 1802(a)(1) W/O FISA WARRANT
@jsolomonReports 3) Article:
"GCHQ first became aware in late 2015 of suspicious “interactions” between figures connected to Trump and known or suspected Russian agents, a source close to UK intelligence said. This intelligence was passed to the US as part of a routine exchange of information."

@jsolomonReports 4) "The alleged conversations were picked up by chance as part of routine surveillance of Russian intelligence assets. Over several months, different agencies targeting the same people began to see a pattern of connections that were flagged to intelligence officials in the US."
@jsolomonReports 5) "The Guardian has been told the FBI and the CIA were slow to appreciate the extensive nature of contacts between Trump’s team and Moscow ahead of the US election."
@jsolomonReports 6) "In late August and September Brennan gave a series of classified briefings to the Gang of Eight, the top-ranking Democratic and Republican leaders in the House and Senate. He told them the agency had evidence the Kremlin might be trying to help Trump to win the presidency"
@jsolomonReports 7) So what is the definition of "FOREIGN POWER" in 50 USC 1801(a)(3)?
"an entity that is openly acknowledged by a foreign government or governments to be directed and controlled by such foreign government or governments."
"an entity that is openly acknowledged by a foreign government or governments to be directed and controlled by such foreign government or governments."
@jsolomonReports 8) Obama, I believe, started using UNILATERAL (NO FISA WARRANT) authority granted by 50 USC 1802(a)(1) to spy on Trump Tower in late 2015, and that authority would have lasted for 1 year. Thus FISA warrant was needed in late 2016.
@jsolomonReports 10) "Notwithstanding any other law, the President, through the Attorney General, may authorize electronic surveillance without a court order under this subchapter to acquire foreign intelligence information for periods of up to one year." ----50 USC 1802(a)(1)
@jsolomonReports 11) AG Lynch would have had to file written oath that the surveillance was directed solely at "Foreign Powers" as defined by 50 USC 1801(a)(3). Do you doubt that Lynch would have played along w/ Obama/ Brennan/ Clapper?
@jsolomonReports 12) 50 USC 1802(a)(1)(A)(i):
"if the Attorney General certifies in writing under oath that—
(A) the electronic surveillance is solely directed at—
(i) the acquisition of the contents of communications transmitted..."CONT'D
"if the Attorney General certifies in writing under oath that—
(A) the electronic surveillance is solely directed at—
(i) the acquisition of the contents of communications transmitted..."CONT'D
@jsolomonReports 13) CONT'D "... by means of communications used exclusively between or among foreign powers, as defined in section 1801(a)(1), (2), or (3) of this title; "
@jsolomonReports 14) That FISC filing (oath that surveillance was conducted on foreign powers) by Lynch is in the FISC records. At this time they thought that there was NO WAY HRC could lose, so they would have filed the "proper" documentation, and it would later be buried.
