re: #141 Sir John Barron

So, was this “spying” like POTUS ordering his lawyer to get dirt on a likely political opponent?

The way I like to put it to people that say they were spying on tRump and company.

If the police are on surveillance of a known heroin dealer and filming the comings and goings to build a case against said dealer. And you are a customer of that dealer. They have film of you coming and going, since they don’t know if you are a customer or maybe the main supplier of the product. They have you on film, but you were not the subject of the surveillance but just dealing with the dealer who was the subject of the sting.

tRump and company just happened to be dealing with Russian asset (mob?) characters, and were caught up in the sting.
