Boris Epshteyn Named in July FISA Application; Did Nunes Obstruct Justice?

More dot-connecting from Louise Mensch:

Boris Epshteyn Named in July FISA Application; Did Nunes Obstruct Justice?

On November 7th, I reported at Heat Street that the FBI had obtained a FISA warrant covering the Trump campaign’s ties to Russia.

I reported that the FISA warrant had been granted after an earlier, failed application to the court in the summer named Trump and “at least three other men, who have either formed part of his campaign or acted as his media surrogates“.

Those names, sources said, were Donald Trump, with Paul Manafort and Carter Page (two men that had formed part of Trump’s campaign) and Boris Epshteyn, who at the time I reported, the eve of the election itself, had only acted as Mr. Trump’s media surrogate.

Since that time, Mr. Epshteyn has become a part of government as a Transition Team official and now at the White House and I feel able to be explicit as to the names sources gave me as forming part of the summer application to the court.

If true, this means that Epshteyn, Nunes and probably Trump, are all guilty of obstruction of justice.

Boris Epshteyn, an official in the White House press office who had a contentious relationship with television producers and was once a frequent presence on TV himself, is leaving his job, according to three people with knowledge of the move.

There was just good reason to have a warrant that did not name the possible president-elect , in other words a narrower warrant would be more bulletproof. The first warrant is likely perfectly valid but not the one used to empanel the grand jury and subpoena the White House.
