HOLY SMOKES. Jack Smith’s team TRACKED the calls of Trump’s defense lawyers by monitoring Susie Wiles’ phone, per newly declassified FBI memos reported by Just The News

Smith’s team also SECRETLY met with disgraced CIA Chief John Brennan and the meeting notes were left blank.

The memos show FBI agents used a pen register on Wiles’ phone from at least February to May 2023, logging her calls and texts with at least 21 Trump lawyers, campaign staff, and at least FIVE journalists

FBI field agents wrote that they did NOT believe there was probable cause for the Mar-a-Lago raid, but DOJ pushed ahead anyway

THIS IS A MASSIVE VIOLATION

Jack Smith is a deep state criminal who should face prosecution!

JOHN SOLOMON: We have obtained the pen register records showing the FBI sitting in on Susie Wiles’s phones as part of Jack Smith’s investigation, code named Plasmic Echo, the originator of the Mar-a-Lago raid.

They were mapping in real time:

1. President Trump’s contacts with his legal defense team, identifying which lawyers called at what time of day.

2. Journalists. My calls as a reporter for Just the News were flagged. So were the New York Times and ABC News.

3. Campaign activity, including his political action committee and the Trump team’s social media and endorsements.

Endorsements, money, social media, legal contacts, all protected by the Constitution, but maybe not protected by Jack Smith and his team.

Already in the crosshairs for spying on Congress, ex-prosecutor Jack Smith and his team monitored the activities of President Donald Trump’s legal defense team, journalists and campaign advisers using a pen register device that tracked the calls coming to and from his chief of staff Susie Wiles’ phone, according to newly declassified memos that reveal some of the FBI’s invasive tactics used to target Trump.

Just the News reported last week that Smith obtained the phone records of several senators through a subpoena and secured a non-disclosure order from the court preventing the mobile carrier from notifying the lawmakers affected. One of those senators, Marsha Blackburn, R-Tenn., filed a lawsuit against Smith arguing his spying constituted an unauthorized intrusion into her civil rights.

The latest memos, released by the White House Government Transparency Task Force on Monday, show FBI agents assigned to Smith’s team in a probe codenamed Plasmic Echo used a dragnet of data gathering tactics in the midst of the 2024 election to monitor phone calls, social media, political endorsements and other constitutionally protected activities in the name of determining whether Trump broke any laws when he brought classified documents to Mar-a-Lago after his first term.

The three-year probe of the ex-president — which put Joe Biden’s administration in charge of the legal fate of his GOP rival in the 2024 election — was approved at the highest levels of the Biden Justice Department, including by Attorney General Merrick Garland, Deputy Attorney General Lisa Monaco and FBI Director Christopher Wray, the memos show.

In March 2022, Wray sent a memo to Garland and Monaco, seeking the attorney general’s approval to open a “Sensitive Investigative Matter” that would become Plasmic Echo.

“I recommend you approve,” Lisa Monaco wrote at the end of the memo, leaving her initials “LM.” Days later, Garland signed the memo with his initials, giving his approval.

The probe also made FBI agents at times uncomfortable, with a senior official at the bureau’s Washington, D.C. Field Office (WFO) counterintelligence unit and his team raising concerns that they did not have a justification to raid Trump’s Florida home and wanted to use a less invasive solution than a search warrant, the documents show.

“WFO does not believe (and has articulated to DOJ CES), that we have established probable cause for the search warrant at Mar-a-Lago. DOJ has opined that they do, requesting a wide scope including residence, office, storage space,” one Assistant Special Agent in Charge wrote in a July 13, 2023, update on the Plasmic Echo probe.

NEW: DECLASSIFIED FBI Probe “PLASMIC ECHO”

– Appears to use FBI investigative tool known as a “Pen Register” to target phone calls of then campaign manager @SusieWiles47

– Allegedly tracked nearly two dozen defense attorneys, five journalists, @FLOTUS, political advisers including @FBIDirectorKash

– Administration official characterizes as “intrusive tactics” by special counsel Jack Smith team

– Probe laid groundwork for classified records case against President Trump

Pen Register Trap and Trace or PRTT
– Surveillance tool collects non-content routing data
– Phone numbers dialed or received
– Call times and duration

Two Scenarios
– Used for criminal and national security investigations
– lower standard than probable-cause warrant

Potential Violations
– First (Freedom of Speech) and Fourth Amendments (unreasonable search and seizure)

NOTE: Former Senior FBI agent says it looks like a classic FBI “tickle the wire” operation.

After FBI agents contact Wiles, the bureau tracks phone calls to identify who she immediately contacts

“On 10 April 2023, FBI WFO (Washington Field Office) reviewed WILES’s telephonic activity to determine contacts of interest on the date of her FBI interview.”

@EricLDaugh Jack Smith did his best to end the United States via illegal means. He is guilty of seditious conspiracy.

@EricLDaugh Monitoring the chief of staff’s phone and sweeping up defense lawyers’ calls is not an investigation. It’s opposition research with a badge. If these memos hold up, Smith belongs under oath.
