Is J. Brien and his paymasters dirty as h*ll? Uhhhhh...yeah.

I do not claim to be an attorney, however, from reading the memorandum and order in the link below, it seems to me that when Trump said he was being secretly recorded, he was not lying. This order from the court seems to show that the U. S. Government beginning over one year ago, was deploying a software-based listening/recording device without a court order. 

That when they got their fingers caught in the cookie jar, they then attempted to get the phone provider to do the tapping for them without a court order because Comey said it was alright to do it, he didn't mind. 

The phone provider refused. The U.S. Government went to court to get one. You can read the entire thing in this Quote from Memorandum, but here is the main summary:



Until recently, the agents consensually monitored the Subject Telephone's communications and location by using "a software-based solution" that did not require the Provider's participation. Id. at 7 n.6. 

The government reports that the latter product was recently "discontinued" without explaining how that discontinuance renders the product it was already using ineffective (although I assume that it must be so). Id. 

The government does not discuss whether any alternative products or services are available, or whether there is any other way for it to engage in the consensual monitoring of a person's telephone communications without requiring the Provider to install a wiretap. Instead, it simply reports the discontinuance of one product and then writes: "Thus, the government is requesting this proposed Order." Id. 

The Provider is unwilling to install the wiretap the government seeks without a court order. Id. at 7. 

Given that refusal, the government posits, "a Court order is necessary." Id. at 8. The government proposes that if its request is granted, it will instruct its agents "that they may intercept and record communications over the SUBJECT TELEPHONE only in accordance with 18 U.S.C. § 2511(2)(c), i.e., that they may intercept and record only those calls (or portions of calls) over the SUBJECT TELEPHONE in which the [Witness] is personally involved as a party to the communication." Id. at 8-9. 



Of course, how the media is spinning this (doubtful they read it) is that Comey was doing God's work (except do Libs believe in God?)
