Today, Fusion GPS employee Rinat Akhmetshin today confirmed his attendance at a meeting with Donald Trump Jr, Paul Manafort, and Jared Kushner along with Russian lawyer Natalia Veselnitskaya.
Accusations have arisen that the meeting was part of a wider setup to achieve a FISA warrant to wiretap phones of the Trump campaign during 2016. President Trump himself has accused the FBI under Loretta Lynch of wiretapping his campaign.
Now, a former Trump campaign official reports that Paul Manafort’s phone was subject to FISA wiretap during the infamous meeting.
Scoop: Manaforts phone was illegally bugged during meeting with Russian Lawyer, confirmed by multiple sources. Lynch ordered it.
7:28 AM - 14 Jul 2017
***********************************************
If true, this FISA warrant would have been carried out under Loretta Lynch, Attorney General to Barack Obama. Former FBI Director James Comey has testified under oath to instances of collusion between AG Lynch and the Clinton campaign during 2016, as well as obstruction of justice in the Clinton investigation.
Yesterday, multiple news agencies and President Trump all stated that Veselnitskaya was granted special permission to enter the US by Attorney General Lynch after her visa had been initially blocked.
FISA transcripts of the meeting in June 2016 may have also served the basis of the FBI’s investigation into the Trump campaign’s ties to Russia, now headed by Bob Mueller.
Other senior members of the Trump campaign may have participated in the meeting via conference call.
Update: This would have been illegal, as FISA court denied Obama’s June 2016 request.
In May, Reuters reported the FBI was investigating 18 undisclosed meetings between individuals associated with the Trump campaign and individuals who may be associated with Russia.
Also in May, Jack Posobiec broke the news that one of these meetings took place with a member of the Trump family who was not Jared Kushner. This turned out to be Donald Trump Jr.

At the very least this is malfeasance from those that ordered it and misfeasance by those who carried out those orders.
0bama and his regime weaponized the entire government against conservatives. From the IRS to the FBI. From the EPA to the NSA.
The only solution is hiring/exit interviews. All federal employees sans the military. One question: Did you vote for 0bama twice? If yes, fire them on the spot.
They exhibited poor judgement.

Let’s just make it easy. Who didn’t Lynch tap?
Wheels inside wheels. The dimensions of the honey trap are only now being revealed. Honey traps, also called “honey pots,” have been a favorite spying tactic as long as sex and espionage have existed.
First, Loretta Lynch brings in Natalia Veselnitskaya on what is called a “visa parole”, persons admitted on other than a formal visa process. A person who does not meet the technical requirements for a visa or is inadmissible may be permitted to enter the United States for specific purposes. Then, the person overstays this visa parole, without being subjected to arrest and return to country of origin. Then, a meeting is set up to entrap a somewhat naive representative of an opposition political candidate. Lastly, the phone lines used in setting up this meeting are tapped and transcriptions taken down.
This might work for catching a KNOWN criminal, but to set up such an elaborate scheme speaks of considerable pre-planning and intent to deceive the “mark”, in this instance persons in a high position within the Trump campaign.
As dirty tricks go, this was almost too elaborate for SOMETHING not to go wrong. And it went awry almost upon the arrival of the Trump team members at the meeting, when the object of the meeting shifted from “getting something to use as opposition research against Hillary Clinton” to a discussion of changing the restrictions on Russian child adoptions by US citizens.
The Trump team, sensibly, walked out when it was not going as advertised, and promptly forgot all about the incident. But the Lynch DOJ did NOT forget, and used this crumb to later throw it in the way of the Trump administration. Therefore, Donald Trump, Jr. LIED, and was no longer a fit member of the Presidential team, and thereby tarnishing the entire Trump Administration.
I wish I could put a “< /sarcasm >” tag on this, but maybe the truth is just too harsh.
That would seem to be,,,,I have a simple mind,....ILLEGAL!!!
0bama and his regime weaponized the entire government against conservatives.

High crimes and misdemeanors of the most serious kind, that’s for sure. The government was turned against the people it is supposed to serve. Doesn’t get much worse than that.
And yet, no one in the Obama regime has ever been held accountable for their outrageous misdeeds by our supposed representatives in congress. Think about that the next time you vote.
I thought I was nuts for speculating this very thing last year after Election Day.
I've had this suspicion that Trump's people were onto some kind of electronic surveillance of their campaign, and they used it to their advantage in the election.
It sounds outlandish, but it might explain two things that always seemed odd to me:
1. Trump's victories in Pennsylvania, Michigan and Wisconsin (I can imagine a bunch of staged phone calls and e-mail communications among senior campaign staffers wondering why they were spending so much time in states that they knew Trump was going to lose)
2. Rudy Giuliani's disappearance from public view soon after the election (his security firm probably had the Trump Organization as a client for some time and would likely have been involved in cybersecurity efforts for the campaign, which would have made him ineligible to serve in any cabinet role with the new administration)
Sessions didn’t recuse in re 0bama.
They sure went to a lot of risk and trouble to trash Trump and then came their worst nightmare...Trump won. But who comes up with this crap?? It’s insane that the Attorney General of the United States, the head of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the President of the United States of America all risked their reputations and maybe their freedom. It’s mind boggling!
So now they’re just left with a big fake offense to distract the world from what they did. I hope Hillary was right...that they’ll all effing hang from nooses. But first I think POTUS will have to find a different AG.
Who is this Sessions to which you refer? Is he someone in the Trump administration? How is he connected with anything? /sarc
The U.S. person's name would appear, however, in the records of intel collected (as 'U.S. person "A"' for example) and that is where the unmasking occurs.
All conversations are on file at the phone companies.
the microphone can even be activated remotely.
wherever he was going somebody was listening.
what do you mean, bitt?
What is their part in the WHOLE SCHENE>>>>???
Rudy has truly been MIA since the election. Can’t say I’ve seen him on any of the FOX shows. I wonder what’s up.
Knowing that certain Democrat misdeeds would eventually come to light with Trump in charge, perhaps Comey’s ploy to get Mueller in place as Special Counsel was, in fact, primarily a protection scheme to defend the liberal criminals after the fact... (?)
I have seen him a few times,...I think he is enjoying running his business.
