Just amazing, the balls these guys have:

The Guardian has learned that the FBI applied for a warrant from the foreign intelligence surveillance (Fisa) court over the summer in order to monitor four members of the Trump team suspected of irregular contacts with Russian officials. The Fisa court turned down the application asking FBI counter-intelligence investigators to narrow its focus. According to one report, the FBI was finally granted a warrant in October, but that has not been confirmed, and it is not clear whether any warrant led to a full investigation.

Here is how I’d think this went. Somewhere the powers that be ordered surveillance to deploy on Trump’s people. You can’t surveil Trump easily, because he has resources and top-notch security that will spot it a mile away. But compromise a few of his underlings, and you have a window in.

On the way out the door, surveillance pulled strings through personal relationships with people at FBI to try and get these warrants to cover their asses, so if one of Trump’s team noticed them, they could try and claim they had an official pretense to be doing what they were doing. FISA approves 99% of the warrants sent to it, so they probably thought they could get something, to explain to local LE why they were there if it came to that, and cover themselves should Trump enter office and look into what they were doing. The last thing surveillance wants is to have Local LE receive a report, conduct an investigation, and produce a file detailing who was operating where, if surveillance has no legal justification to be there.

It is ironic. In trying to cover their asses, they created a long-term record of their operation. But have no doubt, those they sought warrants for were under surveillance all along, and it was going to happen whether Trump had any rumor of ties to Russia or not. Surveillance is a Deep State toy now, and probably also controlled to some degree by the left after Obama, through critical hires at the top that he and Jarrett orchestrated.

What makes it astonishing is, if you hear this, you think the FISA warrant is for putting a guy in a van, down the street, with a tape recorder hooked to a phone wire running to the phone box of whoever is covered by the warrant. It is just some recorded phone calls, and maybe a peek at the websites they visited.

Not so. Whoever they were surveilling on Trump’s team had every word they uttered, every day, from wake-up to bedtime, recorded and transcribed. They had a vehicular box around them 24/7, ready to pick them up and roll on a moment’s notice. There were people on their flights behind them, recording their conversations with the person sitting next to them who was probably also surveillance. Their wife’s grocery shopping was followed by multiple people in the store, who recorded everything they bought. Their computers were hacked, their cell phones were cloned and listened to, their children were monitored, and even every visit to the bathroom in their house was logged, maybe even by a team quietly moved into the house next door, who was watching through the through-wall-radar that can see through walls, and listening through triangulating mics, either on the poles or even driven underground to the foundation, using irrigation “missle” driving technology. If they bought a coffee machine at Amazon, it’s shipment was diverted and listening devices were implanted in it before it arrived. I’d bet they even had aviation when they were at home in their backyard. They never went anywhere without at least five to ten people roving around them, keeping watch. FISA surveillance, with or without a warrant is deep, and it all deploys together as a full package offering total coverage.

It is incredibly creepy, and a sad commentary on where the nation is at. The one guy who might have a chance of righting this sinking ship, and from the moment he announced, I knew he and his people would be buried under Deep-State-controlled, government surveillance. The only question I had was how far away Trump’s security could keep them.

The question is, who is at the top, ordering the surveillance around? It can’t be for national security, because by performing it on all these politicos, bloggers, and news media people, they accomplish nothing but to risk exposing the machine, and losing it for everything – crime, national security, and so on. Do they think they can keep the machine by force, even if they piss off Trump? What does that say?

During Trump’s presser he used the phrase “It’s like Nazi Germany.” It hit me that his use of that phrase was not off the cuff. Something else is in his head, bouncing around, and either he or someone else said of it, “It is like Nazi Germany.” I don’t think he was talking about the media’s lies when that was first said – those are to benign and impotent. The way the phrase rolled off, it had been said before, and the shock of realizing the nation is not what you thought it was had attached itself to it. I know, because I have heard the same phrase with the same shock in my head. It is like Nazi Germany.

It would not surprise me if it is why Donald is keeping his security team around him – and maybe it might speak to why the Secret Service is trying to close them out of all planning and meetings.

We may have a very interesting four years ahead of us. If Donald intends to go to war, I hope he does not think he will just assume office, and make the changes he wants. He needs to first gather intelligence on everything these organizations and people have been doing that they cannot afford to have made public. To do that, he really needs someone knowledgeable on the inside, who can help him with insight into all of their illegal activities.

All of these agencies have been playing loose with the rules, doing things that could get them literally imprisoned, and that is their weak point. Once Donald has the ability to leak material that will destroy the intelligence community entirely, then he can move forward with his agenda and remodel these organizations as he sees fit.

But even if he manages to gather sufficient blackmail material to operate freely, it will still be a dangerous endeavor.

Pray for the safety of Donald and his family.
