Trump and/or his team got caught communicating with those foreign nationals that were being "tapped".

3. A FISA warrant could have been issued, but the better probability?

Russia bugged Trump Tower to the max. And it was probably Russia that told Trumpy about the wiretaps and told him that it was Obama who did it. Trumpy will believe anything that comes from Putin, and Putin knows it.

I heard that FBI's Trump investigation was hampered by inability to get 2 of the FISA warrants they requested domestically.

Lots of crazy stuff being thrown around by Trumpies right now. Like Carter Page demanding Justice Dept investigate Hillary Clinton Campaign for maligning Page

Russian expatriates paid for expensive digs with cash. One development on Florida was nicknamed "Little Russia"
Lots of opportunities for him to pay back Putin for his help in getting loans, and having friends overpay for properties (launder money) in America.

5. Didn't a DU member post a thread defending Comey

Based on the fact that there was an ongoing FBI investigation into Trump's dealings with Russia, and that was the reason he couldn't divulge damning evidence against him?

7. How does this reflect poorly on Comey? It doesn't, in itself. The fact he's said he won't talk

There's a theory out there that Chaffetz, having been informed of the fisa warrant deliberately leaked the letter regarding Clinton's emails. Comey attempted to put the barn door back on its hinges.... and utterly fucking failed. That theory exonerates no one from skulduggery. .... but we have multiple people with multiple agendas.

It's getting harder to hold my breath anymore.

about f'ing time!

I also hope it has a cascading affect such that it takes down all the co-conspirators in Congress and their shitty rollbacks with them.
