NSA Whistleblower: Page FISA Warrant Likely a Gateway to Spy on Entire Trump Campaign
BLUF:
[Breitbart] The Obama-era FISA warrant obtained to monitor the communications of Carter Page was most likely utilized as a gateway to spy on the rest of Donald Trump’s 2016 presidential campaign, contended William Binney, a former highly placed NSA official turned whistleblower.

"So effectively what that means is that they had the ability to basically spy on anybody," he said. "They could spy on everybody on the Republican National Committee or everybody in the Trump campaign."

"Not only could they collect all the data on that second person but all of the data content as well as metadata on anybody that he talks to," Binney added.

#1 "Incidental collection" on US Persons was the goal. Carter Page and the FISA warrant were the vehicles.

#2 Just don't talk about "gateway drugs" or "slippery slopes." The left will tell you those are myths...

#3 Wasn't the whole purpose of Watergate an illegal spying attempt by the sitting President on his opponents?

Why should Obama get a free pass?
