If it happened, it wasn't authorized by the president (illegal). It might have happened if the FBI was tracking attacks on our country by foreign agencies, or illegal business dealings. in fact I did see a report of a FISA warrant on someone else in Trump Tower (although I wonder how anyone would have found out about it.)
ANYhoo.... a congressional investigation might open the floodgates to what the FBI does, in fact know, is investigating re Trump and the Russians.

In two years they will come up with nothing, but in the meantime every mouth-breathing Republican will come to believe that Obama wiretapped trump, but Jesus rode in on a dinosaur and put a stop to it.

(58,785 posts)right? Is my count correct? No matter how limited in scope, it'd be like the Mafia inviting the FBI into its house to find out if someone's pocketing the silverware.
Plus, I read that just by babbling 45 compromised their ability to make some future charges against potential whistle-blower, didn't understand the legality involved, but the poster's verbal eyebrows were in his hairline. As the gang that not only can't shoot straight but also doesn't understand which end the bullets come out of, that's probably just one of their mistakes regarding this. Oh, yeah, in addition to the huge one in starting this at all.

(5,268 posts)That is where the leaks and allegations of Trump & Co being caught on tape are coming from- wiretaps and surveillance that has been conducted targeting Russian operatives who were talking to Trump associates- Not from targeting Americans.
This is quite damning since James Clapper and all experts interviewed thus far have denied FISA warrants targeting Trump and Co which means that any tapes would have been from wiretaps targeting Russian operatives.

That said, I can't imagine anyone who would be suitable to republicans and democrats.
That said, I'd be happy with the FBI as long as comey is walled off from it.
