Have to say anything dealing with FISA warrants (aside from a single unsourced newpaper article) should be considered speculative at best given the lack of information. In my mind, any claims about the FISA warrants or pursuing them are really nothing more than hearsay at this point.

And, until tangible evidence of eavesdropping or electronic surveillance is put forth, as has been promised by the President, going to regard the claims of that in much the same light that the claim that the Benghazi outpost was run over by people po'ed by a video.

Article just published in the Post indicates that a FISA warrant was issued to monitor the communications of Carter Page.

Quote:The FBI and the Justice Department obtained the warrant targeting Carter Page’s communications after convincing a Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court judge that there was probable cause to believe Page was acting as an agent of a foreign power, in this case Russia, according to the officials.
