Sky News Australia
owned by.... Rupert Murdoch
And even in the article that you link it spells it all nice and clearly out for you
Downer was told something that concerned him, concerned him enough to contact the FBI.
You really wanna fucking hope that if the FBI is contacted by a senior political operative of another country whose an allie and a member of the "5eyes" that they at least look into it.
Its what the FISA "Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court" is all fucking about, your government was warned by another government that some shady shit was going down. At the time Trump was spouting DAILY.. we have no business in Russia, We have no contacts with Russia... and we know now that was total lies told to you the Trump voters to suck up. They lied about every single interaction and on going business deal and incidentally still fucking lie about it until its called out by investigations like the Mueller one. How many straight up lies did Team Trump jam down your throats regarding the Trump Tower meeting??? Don't you think that should of set off every alarm your "Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Agency's" have?
I'd highly doubt there's ever been a more legitimate reason for a FISA warrant to of been issued..
EVER
Incidentally... FBI/ NSA only monitor your land lines, as soon as you pick up a mobile, it pings through a satellite, which is all recorded and kept here.. IN AUSTRALIA
..And also.. Downer is from an Murdoch appointed Government, we still have a Murdoch Appointed Government... Mr Downer still has his job.
