>>>he’s claiming that they were never the targets of FBI wiretaps
How would Rosenberg claim that, unless connected?
RE: How would Rosenberg claim that, unless connected?
It says in the article:
“Mr. Manafort is among at least three Trump campaign advisers whose possible links to Russia are under scrutiny. Two others are Carter Page, a businessman and former foreign policy adviser to the campaign, and Roger Stone, a longtime Republican operative.”
So, there was an attempt to wiretap AMERICAN CITIZENS if the above statement is correct.
However, to make it look like the wire tapping was LEGAL, they had to make it look like it was the Russians they were doing surveillance on. They have a legal out if an independent investigator were to look into this.
Clever and lawyerly indeed ( but also sinister ).
Then why was a request to get a FISA warrant specifically TARGETING Trump get turned down? There was clearly intent.
