Intercepted conversations were to a person already being tapped (Russian Officials), the FISA warrant was for a server not a wire tap of Trump tower phones


Are you suggesting there was a FISA warrant? Also, you realize the warrant typically include US citizens associated with the original target of the administration?

Then why the executive order days before leaving office concerning the succession of the AG?

If they have evidence that led to a warrant being issued - more power to them.

to the point of justifying a FISA warrant


Oh, you think they're impartial.

Ever heard of the term rubber stamp?

That's a lot of faith to put in the rubber stamp, Big Brother.

And yet now we know

1) No criminality from Russian bank wiretaps

2) No collusion from ANY AMERICAN with Russian authorities

But I thought FISA required a "substantial likelihood" of wrongdoing? More like a fishing expedition, if you ask me

How was the Kislyak-Flynn phone conversation recorded without a FISA warrant?


Do you understand the difference between a surveillance order that targets the top Russian diplomat in America and surveillance order that targets an American citizen? They are two different things and the existence of one does not impute the existence of the other. There can be a valid FISA order targeting the Russian and not one targeting the American but if that American contacts the Russian his comms can be taken, subject to any relevant minimization procedures.

This is not a hard concept to understand.

As opposed to placing your faith in a DJT tweet?

See here's the problem. Either the Democrats admit they wiretapped Trump and his team with a FISA warrant during a presidential campaign, or they illegally did it without one.


or this board is reminded that wiretapping foreign officials on US soil is commonplace

Quote me where I referenced a tweet.

In fact, I referenced an article from almost 4 months BEFORE the tweet. That's aside from multiple NYT articles, HRC referring to it during the campaign, Podesta referring to it after the campaign...

You think it's about a tweet.

Like I said, I appreciate the faith you have in our glorious state, Big Brother.

Glad you appreciate it?

I don't have blind faith in anything.....but I do hold FISA in higher esteem than DJT or links from New York New Orleans Guy #1.

There is no difference in this case.
None!
"Not a smidgen."

The "top Russian diplomat in America" met with Barack Obama TWENTY-TWO (22) TIMES !
Were those conversations surveilled?

The "top Russian diplomat in America" met with Hillary Clinton many many times.
Were those conversations surveilled?

The man had a generic conversation with Gen.Flynn.
That conversation WAS surveilled.
The incidental US citizen component was then leaked to the press.

Obviously in aftermath of the election, foreign emissaries would be introducing themselves to Trump delegates and vis versa. Those conversations would certainly include the Russian Ambassador. Tapping individuals who would obviously be meeting the incoming transition team, equates to de facto surveilling the transition team. PERIOD!

Incidental collections, including those of team Trump, should have been discarded, and CERTAINLY NEVER RELEASED!

Release of that info was a felony!

Got it?
