Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein asked the Justice Department's inspector general Sunday to review whether there was improper politically motivated surveillance of the Trump campaign in 2016.
Rosenstein made the request shortly after a tweet from President Trump saying that he would "officially" ask "that the Department of Justice look into whether or not the FBI/DOJ infiltrated or surveilled the Trump Campaign for Political Purposes."
In a statement, Rosenstein said: “If anyone did infiltrate or surveil participants in a presidential campaign for inappropriate purposes, we need to know about it and take appropriate action." The attorney general, Jeff Sessions, has recused himself from Russia-related matters.

Whoops.
Whahahaha. I'm sure they will get to the bottom of it.
LOL
Quick response—within hours of the Trump tweet and before any official orders.
Rod shouldn’t have needed to be told to do this.
CYA behavior... do the minimum the boss wants, even if you think you’ve got him by the short hairs and he can’t fire you because of public opinion.
Best election ever !!!
Well, there ya go. No matter the reason; POTUS-in-Charge!
Let’s Rock FRiends! Pick up the phone; call friends, call family and tell everyone you know, this Republic yet lives!
Now we fight!!
Expect a report maybe this time next year, complete with redactions.
Could’ve started this over a year ago. Now, about Hillary’s pay-to-play scheme with those classified emails...
Fox…check the hen house. If you need help, grab a weasel.
I suggest you wait and see the OIG report on the hillary investigation before you get all giddy about this. I personally think the OIG is a deep state hack. We’ll see.
Will the fox be reviewing the chicken coop?
Hey guys, go investigate yourselves and get back to me.
President Trump needs to summon both Sessions and Rosenstein into his office tomorrow morning at 8:00 am. Send armed uniformed Secret Service if necessary. They should then both be ordered directly to provide unredacted copies of the documents to the relevant Congressional Committee Chairs by 5:00 pm.
If either one so much as twitches in objection they should be immediately and summarily fired, relieved of any and all US Government property, and escorted out through the servants entrance.
Make them take an Uber home.

Donald J Trump will be 72 years old in 15 days and he’s kicking ass.
The “for Political Purposes” will be construed narrowly. They will claim another purpose.
Why not have the FIB investigate?
The IG doesn’t do SWATting.
Rosy-weasel must be feeling pretty confident. He has seen the IG report.
What’s the matter Rosenstein? Did your butt pucker a little? Fingers seem to be pointing in the wrong direction?
Like "counterintelligence" or "election integrity?
You are thinking deviously... and probably correctly.
