Breaking: Lynch Ordered Manafort's Phone Tapped During Veselnitskaya Meeting
2017-07-15
Things that make you go "Hmmmmm......"
[PacificPundit] 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.

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.

Nothing at Drudge or Fox on this yet. Lots of circular reporting in Fringelandia.

#7  As much bravado as we all feel, MSM has proven they have the controls, and under the guidance/pressure of the dark govt. they will shape what little minds think. Tell me anything that proves at least 80% of our populace isn't as ignorant as a goat and I may be inspired to hope. Meanwhile I will continue to prepare as if I lived in middle america, although I'm on the fringe. Watch your back folks and never ever telegraph your position.

#5  Go to the center of America and its a good one thousand miles in any direction to any Border. And all those people have Guns.
We are NOT EUroweenies. And the "inside the Beltway" gang can give an Order to America and have it just roll off their desk and hit the floor and go bump.

Enough of that and you will need an armored Car to Order the American people around a second time.( And after dark guess who controls the countryside and all the cows.) Washington DC can be ignored or worse if necessary. You abuse the American people, they WILL abuse you back. We don't all live in Hollywood and watch "the View".

#2  Quite an interesting comment and fact string at FP's #1.

I'm now nearly 2/3 of the way thru Martin Meredith's 'The Fate of Africa.' As Meredeth takes the reader through a 'deep-dive' of the past century and each African despot's near universally tragic political tenure, the single-party corruption and brutal tribal theme is painfully similar. One cannot escape the parallels to our own pre-Trump political process, e.g., corrupt beltway party, and the current attempts by democrats of a political coup d' etat, to include the violence, requisite threats of violence, and mysteriously unexplained deaths.

#1  The Bottom Line is the Dims want full centralized control of the elections.

1) have total centralized control of the election process under the DOJ
2) which Jeh Johnson did try to access an election system but was caught and deflected by the firewall in place in 2016
3) by trying to frame a "corrupt" election on Trump and the Russians
4) by framing Trump Jr, Jared, Manafort claiming they assisted the Russians of accessing the election systems
5) by saying that the voting results were modified by the Russian hacking to favor a Trump win...

which after 6 months NO EVIDENCE OF ANY OF THIS HAS BEEN FOUND. (but if only they could still pull this whole charade off Trump is impeached, the Dims and the establishment Republicans are back in control, the DOJ can now demand control of the elections and non-establishment Pubs would rarely ever win a key election again.

This is how retched and corrupt the Dims and the BSM (bull shit media) have become.
