I’m glad you allowed for the possibility you didn’t have it right. You don’t. Said authorizations were approved well prior to the “research” to which you refer.

That's incorrect. The Carter Page wiretap was turned down until the first application containing the unverified "dossier" information.

But others were approved prior, and your assertion was broad. The fact that so many Trump campaign officials have legally-approved surveillance that it is hard for most people to keep track is hardly a point in favor of your core argument.

We could write a book on the details; nobody's trying to do that here. What I wrote was accurate. And the fact that so many Trump campaign officials were surveilled could mean 1. they are suspicious people or could mean 2. intel community abusing authority for political reasons.

I disagree with your assessment of accuracy. It could mean many things, sure. It could mean, for instance, that they committed crimes. Implying abuse (sans evidence) is reckless. It’s also by design: get us to doubt the fairness of the process.

Yes it could mean they committed crimes. It could mean that intel community abused authority. There's lot of evidence of intel surveillance abuse in recent years incl the spying done on me. But you can differ of course! And if they didn't do it to you, it's easier to dismiss.

it could also mean Hydra took over the FBI and is trying to kill Trump who is secretly Captain America. but it doesn't, because like your claims that notion is absurd.

see how easy it is to make shit up and then frame it as a reasonable possibility? that isn't journalism. that's partisan hackery. i suspect you know that at some level.
