re: Lynch could have surveilled Trump for 7 days prior to FISA warrant rejection

FISA does not apply to strictly foreign-to-foreign comms that do not touch US infrastructure and are not reasonably expected to contain US person comms.

I never said they did. I said there is a legal way around FISA for spying on American citizens. However, there is a lot of red tape involved, including informing Congress that you did it (and it has to be in writing and is considered under oath). Think of it as an exigent circumstance.

Of course, I doubt they went this route. I think they either went the "normal" FISA route (going to the judges and arguing their case) or they did it completely illegally on the "down low."
