Sharyl Attkisson explains why one FISA warrant on one person can lead to spying on thousands of people

The genuine magnitude of the FBI spying on the Trump campaign was far greater than most people realize, reading or hearing about a FISA warrant to spy on Carter Page.

Many people naturally presume that an operation to trample on the rights of one man - even an Annapolis graduate who served as a source for the CIA - was bad, but not a major spying operation.

Believe it or now, intelligence agencies can use one legal wiretap to monitor as many as 25,000 people for which there was no wiretap justification.

Through a single warrant, government agents can capture phone calls, texts, emails and bank records from people "Two hops" away.

That means all of the suspected spy's direct contacts- "One hop" -and everybody who contacts those people or even visits their Facebook pages or websites-two hops.

Sidney Powell: And what most people don't understand is, they don't just get everything they want against Carter Page, they get everything they want against every person who communicated with Carter Page, and against every person who communicated with that person.

They could have all kinds of banking records and personal information on tens of thousands of people by virtue of those FISA applications.
