Here is what we now know, per intelligence gleaned form federal law enforcement sources with insider knowledge of what amounts to a plot by U.S. intelligence agencies to secure back door and illegal wiretaps of President Trump's associates:
- Six U.S. agencies created a stealth task force, spearhead by CIA's Brennan, to run domestic surveillance on Trump associates and possibly Trump himself.
- To feign ignorance and to seemingly operate within U.S. laws, the agencies freelanced the wiretapping of Trump associates to the British spy agency GCHQ.
- The decision to insert GCHQ as a back door to eavesdrop was sparked by the denial of two FISA Court warrant applications filed by the FBI to seek wiretaps of Trump associates.
- GCHQ did not work from London or the UK. In fact the spy agency worked from NSA's headquarters in Fort Meade, MD with direct NSA supervision and guidance to conduct sweeping surveillance on Trump associates.
- The illegal wiretaps were initiated months before the controversial Trump dossier compiled by former British spy Christopher Steele.
- The Justice Department and FBI set up the meeting at Trump Tower between Trump Jr., Manafort and Kushner with controversial Russian officials to make Trump's associates appear compromised.
- Following the Trump Tower sit down, GCHQ began digitally wiretapping Manafort, Trump Jr., and Kushner.
- After the concocted meeting by the Deep State, the British spy agency could officially justify wiretapping Trump associates as an intelligence front for NSA because the Russian lawyer at the meeting Natalia Veselnitskaya was considered an international security risk and prior to the June sit down was not even allowed entry into the United States or the UK, federal sources said.
- By using GCHQ, the NSA and its intelligence partners had carved out a loophole to wiretap Trump without a warrant. While it is illegal for U.S. agencies to monitor phones and emails of U.S. citizens inside the United States absent a warrant, it is not illegal for British intelligence to do so. Even if the GCHQ was tapping Trump on U.S. soil at Fort Meade.
- The wiretaps, secured through illicit scheming, have been used by U.S. Special Counsel Robert Mueller's probe of alleged Russian collusion in the 2016 election, even though the evidence is considered "poisoned fruit."
Veselnitskaya, the Russian lawyer who spearheaded the Trump Tower meeting with the Trump campaign trio, was previously barred from entering the United Sates due to her alleged connections to the Russian FSB (the modern replacement of the cold-war-era KGB).
Yet mere days before the June meeting, Veselnitskaya was granted a rare visa to enter the United States from Preet Bharara, the then U.S. Attorney for the southern district of New York. Bharara could not be reached for comment and did not respond the a Twitter inquiry on the Russian's visa by True Pundit.
Federal law enforcement sources said Bharara was simply following the orders of Attorney General Lynch, who lobbied the State Department to issue the disavowed Russian a B1/B2 non-immigrant visa. This permitted Veselnitskaya entry into the United States for the sole purpose of entrapping Trump associates to use as fuel to commission wiretaps, federal sources said.
Veselnitskaya may have been paid as well by the U.S. government, FBI sources said. It was reported last week that Steele, who compiled the Trump dossier was paid at least $100,000 from FBI funds as well. But that came later, after the wiretapping was well underway.
The illegal eavesdropping started long before Steele's dossier. Federal sources said the wiretaps on Trump insiders began in late 2015, almost a year before the 2016 election. The targets then were Flynn and Page, sources confirmed. When no smoking gun was recovered from those initial taps, U.S. intelligence agencies moved to broaden the scope through their newly-formed alliance.
Intelligence garnered from the British eavesdropping, which again was merely a front for the NSA, was then used in August 2016 to secure a legitimate FISA warrant on Manafort, Trump Jr. and Kushner. That warrant was issued on or about September, 2016, federal sources confirm.
It was the third time the cabal of U.S. intelligence agencies sought a FISA warrant for the Trump associates and this time it was approved.
FBI sources said finally obtaining the FISA warrant was important because it provided the agencies cover for previous illegal wiretapping which they believed would never be discovered.
"This would make for an incredible string of Senate hearings," one federal law enforcement source said. "I don't think they ever thought he (Trump) would win and information would come out about how they manipulated evidence."
Paine of the True Pundit is former Military Intelligence. He has been tweeting of late that many former/current FBI personnel have been beating a path to his door to blow the whistle on the illegal Political operations that went on against the Trump Campaign.
Edit: Don't forget Judge Napolitano being censured in March 2017 by FoxNews for blowing the whistle on the British GCHQ for spying on Trump. He was right.

I don't buy any of this. Spying on Trump in 2015? Why? Makes no sense unless they were spying on ALL the republican primary candidates. Trump didn't even win the nomination till July 2016. If they were also tapping Cruz and Rubio, I think we would have heard something about it by now
I think he got some bad info here. And spinnin some bad theory based off it, especially in regard to GHCQ.
I do think GHCQ was used at points but it was probably really early on before FBI could gin up a reason to justify an approved FISA app, which they got in October 2016. Before that I imagine they either spied on Trump&Co illegally or had the Brits do it. It's worthwhile to understand that this was a standard practice between the US and UK, spies are asked to spy on citizens in the other country because it would be illegal if they did it. It's such a sham practice and when the smoke clears after this mess and we get the whole FISA debacle reformed, that'll need to be on the agenda.
NameRedacted asks why Rand would want to get rid of 702. For the same reason he wants to get rid of Sectin 215 of the Patriot Act. Its not because of the weird conspiracy reason NameRedacted thinks. Its because 702 is a threat to every American's 4th amendment rights. Its how the NSA justified having Verizon, AT&T, etc hand over ALL CALL/SMS DATA for ALL THEIR CUSTOMERS each and EVERY day. That was the very first of the Snowden revelations to hit the papers. 702 gives the state a MASSIVE amount of power. Thats why its going to be so hard to amend it. Theres going to be national-security hawks that are going to do everything they can to keep that power available to the federal government, even though its always impossible for these spying capabilities to not corrupt those who use it.
Also, that NamedRedacted guy is kind of a dick. He randomly accused me of trying to "defend Tom Fitton" while I was trying to ask someone else a question, and then he asked me whether he was going to have to mute me or not. It was confusing, and he seems like a slightly unhinged teenager who is having too much fun with all this conspiracy we're discussing.
So am I crazy or is anyone else "meh" about this one? Meh. I'm disregarding it.
