Did Comey (Illegally) Tell Trump and Co. that the NSA Had Records of His Dealings With Russia?

Can't figure out why Comey is so scared by Trump's latest conspiracy theory, the one that goes "Obama abused his power by using federal crime fighters to spy on me while I was conspiring with Russians to spy on/hack/play dirty tricks on my own political opponent." I mean, who seriously thinks that Comey was in bed with Obama? He was obviously working for Trump when he pulled his "We are close to indicting Clinton/Ooops, we aren't indicting the bitch after all, how does that make you feel, voters?" prank. Comey was in Trump/Putin's pocket----

And so, if Comey realized that part of the NSA's job is to conduct legal (in the U.S) surveillance of foreigners and if he discovered that Trump and Co. had been caught committing treason by the NSA as they conducted their legal (in the U.S.) surveillance of said foreigners, he might possibly have abused his position by taking that information to Trump and Co. And then, , being the good little GOP foot soldier that he is, he offered to deflect attention from that brewing scandal as well as the "pussy grabbing scandal" by throwing Clinton to the media wolves, even if it meant throwing himself on his sword, politically speaking. But that was ok, because Trump would be his new boss and Trump had promised that when he cleaned house he would keep Comey. Who had done so much for him. Like alert him to all the attention that U.S. national security was paying to Moscow and Trump...

How serious a crime would it be if the FBI director went behind the backs of the CIA and NSA (or even his own FBI) to alert the target of an investigation that he was under investigation?

Is that why Comey is so fucking desperate to get Trump to shut his big fat mouth about when and how he found out exactly who was listening in when he and Putin conspired to overthrow this country?

Comey is toast. When Dems retake Congress in 2012, he will be one of the first sent to federal prison. And there will be a lot of federal prisoners who won't have kind feelings towards the former FBI chief. And Trump won't be there to pardon him. By then, he will have taken the money and fled to Russia.

But
Maybe Comey just doesn't want anyone to f*ck up his ability to utilize the FISA Intel as evidence in a larger RICO criminal case....

If there ever was a counterintelligence Warrant of any kind with Trump Towers as the subject... sessions may have already disclosed that info to 45.. which could cause problems down the road....

Counterintelligence warrants have different disclosure protocols that criminal surveillance warrants.... so while it is possible to legally use counterintelligence data in a criminal case, there are very specific rules on how the CI data must be addressed.
