And this is the only story I’ve seen verifying the FISA court issued the order allowing the wiretaps:

It’s real. The fullness of time will show us.

This has been an exciting day.
Treason!!!!!
HANG EM ALL
Unparented, undocumented, unaccountable, unacceptable false-narrative FRANKENsteins - FISA & Obama.
I think it’s becoming increasingly clear that the Obama democrats are going to regret having elevated the Sessions Russians issue to that rhetorical crescendo. If this was bush he would ‘for the good of the country’ let them off the hook and thus being made aware of their vulnerability would cover that avenue and attack from a different tack. But this is not bush. This is Donald J Trump and I expect him to come out with a long knife and gut them like a fish.
That’s what time will tell.
More will be revealed.
The soothsayer says...Beware the Ides of March....
I kinda agree. The Obama team went at this with the idea that GOP behavior would occur and that’s what they expected out of Trump.
The thing is...he’s not real GOP-like in behavior.
If I were any of the legal minds involved in the episode from the Obama team...I might start to worry that they might approach my state’s legal establishment and suggest that I lose my license to practice law.
From the Senate prospective...if they had targeted Senator Sessions prior to the election, that means that various other Senators might also be on some ‘watch-list’, and they will want to dig into this and put everything on the table. A truth-commission will make this a major pain for the 2018 mid-term elections.
This article explains why Sessions recusal may have been a master stroke rather than an error.

The following is Pure speculation
Believe or don’t as you wish
You have been warned
What is the likelihood that there is a connection between Trump’s tweet that set this off and large number of arrest of suspected pedophiles? I just wonder if Trumps people have someone they’ve got leverage on?
Excellent piece. Thank you for posting.
From the comments:
“Preet Bharara, will investigate this or might already be quietly doing so.”
Can anyone verify is this is accurate?
It sounds like going to the FISA court with a warrant based on false pretexts is illegal. And I think the Russian thing was fake. It was just the excuse to get the wiretap approved because the rules require that foreign agents be the focus of the surveillance. Regardless, it really stinks to high heaven spying on a major political candidate running for president.
Much love, bushwon. Goin back to sleep.
This has been an exciting day.
Thank you so much :) You may want tomake sure I am updated on your:

(a)(1) Notwithstanding any other law, the President, through the Attorney General, may authorize electronic surveillance without a court order under this subchapter to acquire foreign intelligence information for periods of up to one year if the Attorney General certifies in writing under oath that
(A) the electronic surveillance is solely directed at
(i) the acquisition of the contents of communications transmitted by means of communications used exclusively between or among foreign powers, as defined in section 1801(a)(1), (2), or (3) of this title; or
(ii) the acquisition of technical intelligence, other than the spoken communications of individuals, from property or premises under the open and exclusive control of a foreign power, as defined in section 1801(a)(1), (2), or (3) of this title;
(B) there is no substantial likelihood that the surveillance will acquire the contents of any communication to which a United States person is a party; and
(C) the proposed minimization procedures with respect to such surveillance meet the definition of minimization procedures under section 1801(h) of this title; and
if the Attorney General reports such minimization procedures and any changes thereto to the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence and the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence at least thirty days prior to their effective date, unless the Attorney General determines immediate action is required and notifies the committees immediately of such minimization procedures and the reason for their becoming effective immediately.
(2) An electronic surveillance authorized by this subsection may be conducted only in accordance with the Attorney Generals certification and the minimization procedures adopted by him. The Attorney General shall assess compliance with such procedures and shall report such assessments to the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence and the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence under the provisions of section 1808(a) of this title.
(3) The Attorney General shall immediately transmit under seal to the court established under section 1803(a) of this title a copy of his certification. Such certification shall be maintained under security measures established by the Chief Justice with the concurrence of the Attorney General, in consultation with the Director of National Intelligence, and shall remain sealed unless
(A) an application for a court order with respect to the surveillance is made under sections 1801(h)(4) and 1804 of this title; or
(B) the certification is necessary to determine the legality of the surveillance under section 1806(f) of this title.
(4) With respect to electronic surveillance authorized by this subsection, the Attorney General may direct a specified communication common carrier to
(A) furnish all information, facilities, or technical assistance necessary to accomplish the electronic surveillance in such a manner as will protect its secrecy and produce a minimum of interference with the services that such carrier is providing its customers; and
(B) maintain under security procedures approved by the Attorney General and the Director of National Intelligence any records concerning the surveillance or the aid furnished which such carrier wishes to retain.
The Government shall compensate, at the prevailing rate, such carrier for furnishing such aid.
(b) Applications for a court order under this subchapter are authorized if the President has, by written authorization, empowered the Attorney General to approve applications to the court having jurisdiction under section 1803 of this title, and a judge to whom an application is made may, notwithstanding any other law, grant an order, in conformity with section 1805 of this title, approving electronic surveillance of a foreign power or an agent of a foreign power for the purpose of obtaining foreign intelligence information, except that the court shall not have jurisdiction to grant any order approving electronic surveillance directed solely as described in paragraph (1)(A) of subsection (a) of this section unless such surveillance may involve the acquisition of communications of any United States person.

In June 2016, Trump was not even the official GOP nominee yet. Wonder if they were wiretapping Ted Cruz as well.
Excellent post. Praying for arrests and convictions of all guilty parties.
Great summation!!!!!!!
It gets worse than that, Mary Ann Marsh blurted out that Trump was under investigation by the WH the day after he cam down the escalator. June 2015. Judge Jeanine knew nothing of that and Mary Ann repeated it whe asked about it saying it was widely known.
