I knew all of this in late 2017 and early 2018 by reading the Conservative Treehouse and "Sundance". He had a meeting with Durham, and said Durham asked him how he found all of this out, and he was like through public information (FISA court docs.) and putting it all together. He said Durham was amazed. Basically I knew 4 years ago that someone using 702 (16) and (17) searches was spying on Trump and the Republicans in his circle.
Understanding FISA-702(16)(17) And How It Was Used in 2016….

We’ll break down the term: “ FISA-702(16)(17) ” into the elements that will help you make sense of this story in the future.
- FISA – Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act
- 702 – An American caught up in the process of Foreign Surveillance
- (16) – A search query based on “TO” and/or “FROM”
- (17) – A search query based on “ABOUT”
Again,
to repeat, there are differing FISA rules for use of the NSA or FBI database depending on the originating intelligence
compartment.
If a search is conducted from an intelligence compartment within the U.S. government whose objective is to ensure “National Security” there are different FISA rules than a search from an intelligence compartment not engaged in “National Security”.
The DOJ has a “National Security Division”. Their compartment rules on FISA searches and reviews are different from the DOJ “Civil Rights Division”. There are 30 DOJ divisions.
The FBI (a department within the DOJ) has a Counterintelligence Division that focuses on terrorism threats etc. A FISA search from within the Counterintelligence Division has different rules than a FISA search from the Science and Technology Division.
So, We Begin: FISA searches can be conducted on any foreign person without issue. All non-U.S. citizens on the entire planet can be searched 24/7/365 no issues. FISA searches on foreign people have no restrictions at all.
However, when the FISA search returns data identifying a U.S. citizen, everything changes. Those changes are under the identifying term “702”. A “702” is an American person.
All U.S. citizens are protected by the fourth amendment against unlawful search and seizure. All searches of U.S. people must have a valid reason. Title III says any search for a potential criminal investigation must have a judicial warrant. Additionally, any criminal search of the FISA database must also have a warrant (technically, ‘approval’).
Any FISA searches of foreign subjects,
might need FISA Court approval if the returned data includes a U.S. subject (“702”).
However, When a FISA-702 search is conducted based on the need for “national security” no approval from the FISA court is needed. Search away. If the FISA search is because of a “vital national security interest” the resulting search data can be opened, and all ‘upstream’ connections explored, without seeking permission from the FISA court.
♦A “FISA-702(16)” Search Result – would be a search result of the FBI (counter terrorism) database or NSA database that returns an American person as a result of a “To” or “From” (16) type data search.
EXAMPLE: Querying phone data (phone number) TO: Operator BadGuy or FROM: Operator BadGuy – might return a list of phone numbers that also contains an American persons’ phone number. That American person is protected by the fourth amendment. To look at the “upstream” connections of the American Person to other people, likely more Americans, the search operator would need to ask permission of the FISA Court to review the upstream results.
[NOTE: *Exception* – the search was vital to national security. If so, the upstream phone numbers could be reviewed without asking FISA permission.]
♦A “FISA-702(17)” Search Result – would be a search result of the FBI (counter terrorism) database or NSA database that returns an American person (702) as a result of an “ABOUT” (17) type data search.
EXAMPLE: Querying everything in email ABOUT: Mohammed BadGuy – might return communication of an American who wrote a letter about Mohammed BadGuy or maybe he told a friend in a text to check out a media story about Mohammed BadGuy. To look at the email or text of the American, the search operator would need to ask permission of the FISA Court to see the email/text content.
[NOTE: *Exception* – the search was vital to national security?. If So, the email and text could be looked at without asking permission]
Go read the rest of it........you will be tripping, there is no way this one guy could figure all of this out while the Muller team did nit know what was going on.

P.S. there are many, many more like this, that is the reason we know Rubio and Burr were in on the "TAKE DOWN EFFORT" on Trump, I can get you a link to why that Committee (SSCS) was in on the take down plans. There are many things I knew well before most anyone in America by reading this guy, he has to be someone that is in this field of analyzing DATA who quit a long time ago. You do not get a meeting with Durham unless you are onto something, I personally believe the info this man put together and then placed in front of Durham, pushed him onto this conspiracy case (a conspiracy to commit a crime is a crime) which I think he will eventually bring. Conspiracy is usually the easiest case to prove. All you have to do is tie their e-mails and timelines together.
This stuff has been known by me for over 4 years. We didn't know it was Georgia Tech, but by read the FISA Court Docs, we knew it was being done.
