Binney and Dore explained it, but wiretapping was done through a 2 Hop system.

1. Carter Page is FISA'd. Calls eg Paul Manafort. Hop 1.
2. Paul Manafort gets tracked, meets with Trump campaign. Hop 2.

NSA captures all data from meeting, FBI gets warrant, expands the scope.
As this article says, think "Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon". Everybody is a target based on this. It would explain the sheer amount of unmasking requests.

"You don't need to be talking to a terror suspect to have your communications data analysed by the NSA".

This information was released by Snowden.

He revealed it and everybody just... accepted it.

theguardian.com/world/interact…
It looks as if it was reduced to two hops. But if you're spying on a campaign... two hops is all you need.

The change was made in the USA Freedom Act, which was signed in June 2015.

Oh boy.

Looks as if after the USA Freedom Act was signed in June 2015, they immediately asked for a six month transition period. John Carlin was involved in this.

I bet this is the reason why they pushed "17 Intelligence Agencies".

Clapper signed and authorised the dissemination of NSA surveillance stuff on December 15, 2016.

Loretta Lynch signed it on January 3, 2017.

Rice, Comey, Obama, Yates and Biden meet up on January 5, 2017, after per Rice's e-mail.

I hope nothing like this happened - disseminating information to foreign governments.

"The Guardian has learned that the FBI applied for a warrant from the FISA court over the summer in order to monitor four members of the Trump team suspected of irregular contacts with Russian officials. They got it granted in October".

And yet:

Now hang on, I thought people weren't wiretapped? This is from January 19, 2017.

In April 2016, Brennan apparently received a recording from an intelligence agency in the Baltic States about money from the Kremlin entering the US presidential campaign. A task force was created, featuring FBI, Treasury, Justice, CIA, ODNI and NSA.

bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-…
Trump, Obama and Biden were presented with the dossier. Comey spoke about the dossier to Trump directly. The Gang of Eight were briefed on it. McCain and Harry Reid received early copies of the dossier.

uk.businessinsider.com/trump-russia-d…
Clapper released a statement about it on January 11, 2017 that the dossier was passed around to the media, members of Congress and Congressional staff before the IC were even aware of it.

Which is odd.

pewdiepie won't.
I just watched the clip and it's Baked Alaska doing the Hit or Miss song, but it's Alex Jones voice clips. That's it. But yes, pewdiepie will now be declared a Nazi again by the media.

"Moscow-based Kaspersky Lab turned Harold T. Martin III in to the NSA after receiving strange Twitter messages in 2016 from an account linked to him".
"Martin used an anonymous Twitter account with the name 'HAL999999999' to send five cryptic, private messages to two researchers at [Kaspersky Lab]."

"After each researcher responded to the confusion messages, Hal blocked them."

politico.com/story/2019/01/…
August 13, 2016 was the first message to the Kaspersky Lab researchers.

"So... figure out how how we talk. With Yevgeny present."

"Shelf life, three weeks."

In the Equation Group dump is a module known as "m12000000", or TADAQUEOUS, which does not have a Listening Post (LP) attached to it.

"It can only be loaded and unloaded through this interface, not controlled, and it will spit an error message."

laanwj.github.io/2016/09/01/tad…
What apparently TADAQUEOUS does is cripple or disable IPsec, or Internet Protocol Security.

"Most of the symbols are not standard Linux symbols but specific to the TOS/Fortinet implementation."

laanwj.github.io/2016/09/01/tad…
"I read this to mean that the hardware or software of the system running IPsec was compromised, causing it to send valid protocol ESP packets, but creating those in such a way that these could be decrypted without knowing the ESP session keys (from IKE)".

#Trump's last campaign rally of the 2018 mid-term election season is scheduled to start in about ten minutes. It's his THIRD rally of the day. Dude is likely exhausted and I doubt this rally will be less "speech" and more "incoherent tirade".
At any rate, here's the thread for it! Follow/mute at will!

On August 16th, #Qanon posted a quote from an email that was reported to be from James Comey.
3 days later, Comey tweeted using similar wording.
Coincidence?
3) #Qanon posted a link to an article explaining how Stefan Halper connected George Papadopoulos, Carter Page and Micheal Flynn to Russians as a pretext to spy on them and the Trump campaign.

#Manafort's Virginia trial begins today—1st of 2 for Trump's Campaign Manager whose shady work for pro-Russia oligarchs in Ukraine were well known. Mueller team will tell this story thru 18 counts of financial crimes. They'll likely also establish debt/cash flow problems by 2016.
#Manafort trial update: Federal judge approves jury of 6 men and 6 women to hear Special Counsel Mueller’s case. The panel of jurors deciding fmr Trump campaign mgr’s fate was plucked from Fairfax County, a part of Virginia that voted heavily against Trump abcn.ws/2AqQ9i9

(THREAD) While I remain uninterested in the Trump/Nunes assault on law enforcement—and don't want to give it any more air-time—Sen. Graham calling the FISA warrant for Page "a bunch of garbage" is a bridge too far. Here's an explanation of how he and the GOP are lying to America.
1/ Not many people realize the very foundation of the Republican Party for the last 30 years has been its absolute *incompetence* at addressing crime in America—and its concurrent and dogged insistence that *no one else in America* should understand anything about crime, either.
2/ The GOP position on crime in America is *100% bullshit*—it flies in the face of everything criminal justice experts tell GOP politicians. Instead of selective decriminalization, a focus on rehabilitation, diversion programs, and gun control the GOP offers exactly the opposite.

spying on @realDonaldTrump before, during & after the 2016 election explained:

1. 2016 primaries, Trump knows Obama/HRC did lots of sweet under table deals with Russians/Iranians. To troll them, he starts bragging how he's going to be Putin's BFF once he's elected
📢#RETWEET 📢
2. Hillary & her team hatch a dirty trick to play on Trump: they'll hire a political communications shop named FUSION GPS to create what will be passed off as a collection of intelligence reports 'proving' Trump & his campaign team are in pocket of Russians

*** THREAD ***

Let me explain how Paul Manafort's #TrumpRussia indictments are rolling rapidly from election inference into a replay of the Jack Abramoff scandal, but on STEROIDS, involving the secretive sale of American foreign policy for dark money.

washingtonpress.com/2018/02/23/mue…
Manafort and Gates lobbied in the US for Kremlin-linked oligarchs & political parties for a decade, but before their scorched earth, divisive GOP politics inflamed a regional war, they went on a secret diplomatic offensive on behalf of their client, kleptocrat Victor Yanukovych.
Manafort founded the European Center for a Modern Ukraine to be a secret western lobbying front group for Yanukovych.

For obvious reasons, his kleptocratic client had a perception problem, i.e. reality.

Yanukovych is Putin's vassal.

Manafort hid his involvement for years.
