      By this I mean monitoring of FOREIGN nationals, not US citizens. That was the issue. Not the program itself, but that they were abusing it by unmasking US citizens (Trump associates). Durp durp durp. Understand the process before spouting off

      You don't actually understand 702, at all apparently. But what I was talking about was specific to US persons.

      And how do you know people weren't unmasked? Do you have all the info? I don't either I'm just going off a public interview by Nunes back in April of 2017 (might have been March) and all of the public information out now. Seems extremely plausible

      People were unmasked. Properly, per HR McMaster.

      "Properly". Based on? What made it proper to unmask a US citizen (or US citizens would be more accurate)? Back before all of this..why were members of the Trump campaign being serveilled at all?

      1) Members of Trump's campaign were only being surveilled, to the extent they were, because they were talking to Russian (or other countries') spies & diplomats. 2) Former members of Trump's campaign were surveilled bc there was abundant reason to suspect they might be spies.

      Are you suggesting we should just let Russian spies run free? Want to give them the keys to the Pentagon while you're at it?

      Lol. Jesus Christ. Great attempt at a spin there. Who's the Russian spy you are referring to?

      You're unfamiliar that some Russian spies that Page was providing information to were either expelled or jailed?

      Again, are you unfamiliar with Carter Page's past involvement with Russian spies, or are you just cool with that?

          You're saying Page lied when he admitted this? That the court filings from 2013 were fraudulent, just a plot 4 years in advance to hurt Donald Trump? Or, again, you don't care?

          https://home.treasury.gov/news/press-releases/sm0243 … Trump sanctioned his son, Artem Chayka, under Magnitsky sanctions. You know, the same ones Trump is supposed to repeal any day now because he's a pawn of Russia and Trump Jr met that one Russian lawyer working with Fusion GPS for 15 minutes that one time.
