He says Michael Flynn was “illegally surveilled - there was no minimization and he was illegally unmasked.”
Minimization is the process of hiding the identity of the American citizen during a FISA wiretap.
Unmaksing is the process of revealing the identity of the American citizen when authorities believe it necessary for a criminal investigation.
So which is it? Was their “no minimization”?
Or was there an “illegal unmasking”?
I am suspecting Sean Hannity doesn’t know any of the specifics regarding Flynn and is just spinning what is supposed to be an entertaining yarn for his listeners.
I’m not so sure that Sean has thought this one through. I don’t see the end game for his narrative. Let’s take him at his word for a moment and assume that he is right that the FBI misled the FISA court and propped up the “phony” dossier to obtain a warrant.
That doesn’t absolve the crimes that have been committed. It doesn’t end the investigation into Trump and his campaign. It doesn’t make Flynn less guilty.
All it does is discredit a few members of the FBI and maybe create more oversight for the FISA court.
That is a best case scenario. The more likely scenario is that he overplays these emails and he loses credibility, much like Nunes has at times of this investigation when he said he had some bombshell news.
They did. Hillary bought a dossier of fake dirt from a British ex-intel agent who paid his connections in Russia for the dirt… It’s like dems have instant memory loss…
The Australians are in on the action too…
And yet dems don’t care… Mueller is the one eyed jack,
Yes. The FISA warrant was based on nothing. Lindsey Graham claims that he will get to the bottom of it. My confidence in the ability of republicans to do more than talk is nearly zero,
You keep forgetting that the entire premise for the investigation was based on a lie spun by the democrats. There has not been a shred of evidence that anybody worked with the Russians to tamper with the elections. None. And that’s what this investigation is all about Charlie Brown.
When it is shown that the President is absolutely dirty and perhaps traitorous all you have left to cling to is the idea that the FBI shouldn’t have investigated the matter in the first place.
It is like one wants to remain willfully ignorant that in order to get one wanted… to defeat Clinton and see lib tears or whatever… that one had to sell out every value that they previously held dear.
