Trump was correctly seen as the only threat to the deep state, so that is why he was targeted and still is.

I agree with all of that, but the question remains what was he targeted with? What was the motive for Mifsud to allegedly talk to Papadop about emails? I say allegedly because there may have been little or no mention of emails in March 2016. But sure the deep state was not planning an operation to culminate in a collusion investigation. That was possibly an insurance policy conceived in the last month or two of the election.

The question is what were they planning early on? An October surprise of Russia Trump collusion? They did that in spades and it was weak. They said Trump was hiding his tax returns because he was hiding Russian payments, and much more crap like that. And it all failed. A bunch of junk from FBI plants and informants would not have added much.

Because the unrepentant USA hating communist Obama did all this....it is what commie's do.

I agree in principle, but what was the specific goal in infiltrating the Trump campaign, particularly the email hacking sting? The operation to promote that idea made sense by summer 2016, but what was the goal of Mifsud in March 2016, or the earlier work mentioned in the Strzok Page texts?

Commies do those things, but even Commies have a plan for what they want to accomplish.

Their plan was to listen to what their enemy was doing in the campaign. They had to have a cover story for listening to the opponent. They needed to know what the Trump campaign was doing/planning. Unfortunately, Trump wasn’t doing anything special. He was being himself. They assumed they were going to win. So they did not cover their tracks until after. Then that stupid guy from Minnesota made a big deal about Russia Russia Russia. You see where he is now. (Franken)

That's a reasonble assumption, but doesn't spell out the plan. The Mifsud / Papadop encounter on March 14, 2016 was a nothing meeting as the indictment / plea acknowledges. The April 26th meeting where Papadop was told about "thousands of emails" and then subsequently "repeatedly sought to use the professor's Russian connections to arrange a meeting" seems like a weak case for spying in 2016. The plea looks a lot more like part of a maximum pressure campaign in January 2017 to get Papadop to flip and make up some charges on alleged coverup. That lasted until October 2017 meaning it was unsuccessful.

Then there's alleged Carter Page Russian involvement that we know was used along with the dossier to obtain the FISA warrant. But again that seems more like an FBI CYA policy than campaign spying. If they wanted to know about Trump they just needed to watch his rallies on C-Span. And Carter Page was not charged with anything. And it now seems obvious that the FISA warrant was used for spying on the Trump transition, not for "knowing what the enemy was doing in the campaign" but for prosecuting the enemy, perhaps as part of the "insurance policy".

In short this looks as well planned as Watergate (that is to say, NOT), and the spying and prosecution has also been following the Watergate template to prosecute a coverup. But there is a lot we don't know like whether Mifsud was part of a MI6 plot to plant dirt or misinformation or something. It doesn't appear to me that Mifsud was part of a coherent plan to listen to the enemy. I'm not saying it is impossible, just not a coherent plan with what we know so far.

I would think John Kerry at State would be a better choice for her visa approval..

There was no operational protocol in the Odunga administration. Comey already proved that by usurping Lynch’s authority. So it’s not a stretch Brennan stepped out of bounds as well.

Here is an article explaining her multiple entries into the US. Lynch signed off on the first probationary visa and then the work related visa would have gone through DHS and State. According to the article, the work visa was fishy because she didn’t speak English.

Papadopoulos came from Carson’s campaign... once Carson’s chances were cold, ven chances of being picked as a VP, the tick left the corpse of that campaign and went to feed on a much warmer host...Trump’s. But for a while there he was likely the mole/informant in Carson’s campaign.

Th FISA warrants were to cover up what they already did... on the bureaucratic principle that it is better to go ahead and do what needs done and ask permission later.

Why did she run in the first place if she had nasty skeletons in the closet? Why do any of them run?

Because the world's only guy without any skeletons in his closet was crucified 2000 years ago by a similarly democratic mob and is ineligible to run for president?

‘FISA warrants were to cover up what they already did... on the bureaucratic principle that it is better to go ahead and do what needs done and ask permission later.’

You may be correct. Lets start the spying on candidate Trump and his people.

Then, get FISA warrants in case we get caught later on.

This crap has been going on for so long, it is easy to forget what you have read or maybe missed out on an update to a report.

The half-baked Halfrican, and the rest, gangsterized our govt to put away anybody that got in the way of his schemes.
The Halfrican had vainglorious dreams: <><>a permanent Dem majority,<><>a blue Texas, <><>Hillary serving out his
third term, heading the cover-up. They had so much to hide, they were desperate.

They would have paid anything to keep Trump from becoming POTUS.
No question, the money came from some govt program---maybe the TARP boondoogle.

Explains the goofy OMG! look on Obama's face when he met Pres-elect Trump.

All the dirt Hillary was expected to sweep under the rug, was now in the hands of the man Obama tried to destroy.
