      For months we've wondered why Flynn wld talk on unsecured, monitored channels with Kislyak. We have our answer.

      Confused by this. Thought Flynn assumed his call intercepts would be minimized, didn't realize he was under FISA warrant. Am I being dense?

      I don't think Flynn himself was named in a FISA warrant. My impression is they went after exes like Page to avoid politicization.

      There was an exchange at the Yates hearing that suggested he was under FISA warrant IIRC.

      I'll try to dig it up later. But I also think that's the only read of this section of the Reuters story from last night.pic.twitter.com/CfrjwL8A7N

      Here’s the exchange that tipped me off Flynn was subject of FISA warrant, w/ screen grabs of transcript for context. https://www.c-span.org/video/?c4671610 pic.twitter.com/ux1husJROZ

      No no no no. There are three things going on. 1) The fact Flynn was unmasked has flipped GOPers out abt 702, which is marginally related.

          2) No one understands how back door searches work. As soon as they honed in on Kislyak, FBI would pull EVERYTHING on him, check metadata.

          4) Now repeat this process w/EO 12333 data, & FBI is doing back door searches on Trump people using US-collected, 702-collected, 12333 data

          Point is, you would very quickly go fr "I wonder why RU didn't balk abt sanctions" to "let's see who Flynn & Kushner have been talking with"

          And none of that would involve a FISA order targeted at either Flynn or Kushner.

          In every hearing this year there has been talk abt how this will affect 702 reauth. There surely IS 702 data involving RUs, but tangential
