Quote:Would President Obama have to sign off on this FISA warrant as Trump implies?

No, not necessarily. Under the law, the warrant application needs to be signed off by the Attorney General. So based on the timing of these applications, it is likely that Loretta Lynch knew about them and approved them.

“The President can technically request the warrant but it still has to go through the process. Obama couldn’t authorize it on his own. The AG still has to sign off and the FISA judge still has to authorize the warrant,” Moss explained.

Trump is right that if the warrant involved four of his aides, some of his communications may have been intercepted too, and perhaps what happened warrants further investigation.

“If somehow several people in DOJ all got together and were asked to fabricate evidence to present to the FISA judge that would be illegal,” Moss explained. “But so far that is not what we are hearing happened.”

Turley further adds, “There is provisions stating that a U.S. person cannot be surveilled ‘solely upon the basis of activities protected by the First Amendment to the Constitution of the United States.’ Thus, if Trump aides were targeted for political reasons, the surveillance would be unlawful even under the dubious protections of FISA.”

I would expect them to Tap his phones. It would be derelict if they didn't.

Your extremely low low bar is extremely lower than what the law allows for.

Why are you not ranting and raving about all the other foreigners he or his staff talked to?

You'd think he was running his entire campaign exclusively from the Kremlin.

At some point he has to provide the proof he was tapped or yeah, he's going to look like an infowars tinfoil wack job loon.

Not that he hasn't many times already.

Let me guess you gave up air this year for Lent? With comments like that you need to take some deep deep breaths of it. So do you think they were derelict by not tapping Hillary's? Or the Clinton Foundation? Lot of crap out there about taking millions of dollars for services due

I would think the most powerful man in the world would have some useful tools at his finger tips to get this type of information from. Instead of the left or right media. Don't you?

Hatch concerned:

http://www.breitbart.com/big-government/...ransition/

Utah Republican Sen. Orrin Hatch told reporters Thursday he is concerned by the extent of surveillance President Barack Obama’s administration conducted on President Donald Trump’s presidential campaign and transition team.
“I was just a little shocked by it,” said the senator, who is also the President Pro Tempore of the Senate and fourth in the line of succession behind Speaker Paul Ryan (R.-Wis.).
The senator was speaking in the context of news reports that Attorney General Jeff Session, a close adviser to the Trump campaign, met with the Russian ambassador twice during the 2016 election cycle and the New York Times report that Obama administration officials ran an intense information campaign against Trump and his team in the months before the New York City developer entered the White House.
This was also two weeks after the release in the media of transcripts from Obama’s Justice Department wiretaps of retired Army Lt.Gen. Michael Flynn forced his resignation as National Security Adviser.

The hilarity of it all is that the lunatic liberals screaming about a foreign hack to impact an election had the head of their party going all watergate.

You will notice in the Obama statement. He didn't say Trump campaign was never in a wiretap. He said no American was the target. Very careful wording.
