I do wonder why FISA was used when traditional, common, tapping and surveillance warrants were available

Part of the narrative if they were caugght.

LBJ used the same ruse to spy on Nixon

FISA was used because it aided secrecy and because they had at least one FISA judge in their pocket.

A single FISA warrant gave the FBI full surveillance access to Page, anyone Page communicated with and anyone those people communicated with. Essentially, the entire Trump campaign, including Trump.

What is the downside of an unconstitutional act? The worst penalty is a “strong news release.” So why should we care whether or not something is unconstitutional? Hillary erases federal evidence, no problem, Comey lies under oath, no problem, Obama....

I think other side of that coin is that when the government finds it can ignore its own laws and do whatever it wants without consequences, that also heralds the end of the republic.

I think both points have been reached.
