As president, Obama did not need FISA approval.
You might be right. I was thinking that maybe Trump has his own spies, and yes, Rudy being tied into this makes sense. They are coming out in force right now making it sound like Nunes tainted the investigation and no information can be trusted now. They could be in panic mode right now.
I already know what excuse they would come up with. Something called layers of an onion. A so-called plausible excuse, or give up something lesser in importance than what are layers below it that they want to hide.
All these intercepts Nunes is referring to deal with only foreign intelligence targets that Trump and his administration incidentally got caught up in?
Did Lynch, Clapper, or Brennan lie to FISA court and go beyond what some judge believed?
None the less, these unmasking are illegal aren’t they?
Comey needs to resign or go full Frank Pentangeli(Godfather reference)
Bet it’s this.
Pakistani Awan brothers, spies, placed by Debbie Wasserman Schwartz and other lovely Dems, as high paid staffers working for 31 Democrat Congressmen, specializing in IT and hacking.

Yes, Obama needs FISA approval. But in any case FISA Warrants were authorized. So the target of the surveillance was an AMERICAN. Not a Russian. Not any foreigner.
The NSA has been setup to listen in on everybody. It’s simple for their boss to abuse his power with that at his command.
But THIS CASE involves FISA Court Orders that allow the surveillance of AMERICANS. These intercepts are conversations between these American targets and Trump or Trump people.
That is a very important distinction. You have Trump communicating with an AMERICAN who is suspected of being a national security threat involving a foreign nation.
That is a BIG DEAL.
If it deals with Russia and they helped Trump “stealing the election” it is NOT a BIG DEAL, and was/is only Dem and Media nonsense to mask Hillary’s wrong doings.
The Obama Admin lied all the time and sometimes they get caught lying.
Surveillance intercepts and the illegal unmasking of communications between Trump and his family isn’t about foreign nationals dealing with Americans. See post at #18.

This isn’t going to end here...there is more to come, and it won’t be good for Obama and his lackeys.
So more on the way? No doubt.
Gee, I wonder if Trump buys this surveillance of him was only incidental contact? About 100% confidence level the Trump answer is no.
DOJ!: Issue an immediate arrest warrant for James Comey for Sedition, Lying to the US Congress, and for Violation of the 1st, 2nd, 4th, 5th, and 6th Amendments to the Constitution!
Careful. This may be the new party line. AFAIK, this sort of intercept does not require a FISA Court Order. The clear message from Nunes was that he was reading transcripts where Trump or a Trump Team member was on one end of the conversation and had been unmasked and the target was on the other end.
But Peter King comes on O'Reilly tonight and tells us that the transcripts are between two foreign nationals discussing members of the Trump Team!!!!!
That does not require a FISA Order. That cannot be what Nunes meant. But if it is, divide the importance of this story by about 10. I don't think it is.
Yes. The Republicans let him get away with very weasily language. All he really said was that he wasn’t aware of any evidence that Obama ordered a wiretap of Trump Tower. So I guess he wasn’t present when it happened huh?
It will be interesting watching Clapper and Brennen squirm before the Committee.
Trey is sharpening his knife....Sic em boy.
Trump did not get where he is around the world in business without an internal security and intelligence apparatus rivaling that of most large modern nations.
May God continue to bless him and his and through his team bless our great nation. MAGA!
