Simple . . . They hoped for ... the ability to spy on Trump with Carter Page as the pretext to be able to wire tap via a false FISA filing in case they ever “got caught” which was not expected because HRC was supposed to win. I theorize that they had to spy on Trump because their internal polling was showing that he just might win.
And she did not win. I have begun to wonder if this may be a reason her “concession speech” was delayed and also why she did not show up to concede in front of her supporters. That is, all of a sudden Obama/HRC/FBI/DOJ had to figure out how to cover these illegal FISA acts. Since there was no legal way to challenge the election, the “insurance policy” now had to be collected upon?
Agree. I was picturing the emergency meeting that must have been going on after the election. On election night I was also picturing it, but now my picture is much different. Oh, to have been a fly on the wall in that room.
