#4 Thanks AC6110 for your insight. As a non-spook, chasing the flashes of info/dis-info is challenging. But if this trail is true, it is a big deal. |

#3 There's something wrong when the story with the MSM is: "CNN accidently tells the truth." |

#2 It's a bit more coherent than that, European Conservative. Under intel sharing agreements, GCHQ has direct access to the *content* of communications between US citizens and foreigners. That access does not require a US FISA court warrant. The allegation is that GCHQ personnel flowed the contents of communications by Trump campaign personnel and perhaps Trump himself back to US investigators. The connecting dots might be the op info report created by a former GCHQ insider, and to which the FISA court application in October apparently referred. It is highly unusual for a FISA warrant application to be based on a commercially procured report created as campaign opposition material. But if in fact that report was seeded by GCHQ leaks, its use was more understandable. And of course the publicly quoted portions of that report turned out to be inaccurate on demonstrable facts, such as whether Trump advisors travelled to certain countries and met with certain people. |

#1 So Napolitano relays info he heard from someone who says he heard (what exactly?) it from people who are supposed to be in a position to know? Oh dear |
