A fake court ordered it. The FISA court has only turned down a handful out of thousands of requests. The fact that the rubber stamp court denied the warrant regarding Trump should tell you just how B.S. the request was. The FISA is something the ACLU, the EFF, and anyone with have a brain has railed against for years because it is just a kangaroo court.

Here's a wikipedia link that shows by year how many requests were turned down, granted, or modified.

I usually stand on the opposite side of the ACLU on nearly everything they stand for. This isn't one of those times.
