A new report released today features both the FBI seeking to launch a surveillance operation against an active US presidential campaign, and the ultra-rare case of the FISA courts actually turning down an FBI request to conduct surveillance against somebody.
The report, originating at the Guardian, claims that the FBI had sought broad surveillance powers over four high-ranking members of President-elect Donald Trumps campaign during the election, claiming them to have had contact with Russian officials.
The FISA court turned the request down, telling investigators they needed to narrow the request. ADVERTISING
Though the four are not directly named in the report, it is related to claims in a dossier of Russia having substantial blackmail dirt on Trump, and that dossier centered heavily around accusations against a handful of Trump campaign personnel, including Carter Page, Paul Manafort, and Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn, along with Trumps personal lawyer Michael Cohen, meaning some of them may well be among the targets.

“Because neither Trump nor Putin will play ball with the Globalists.”
GREAT point!
Trump needs to find out all involved in this horrible action. This is using the power of the US Federal Government to spy on political opposition. This is 100x worse than what Nixon did. And to try to use the secret FISA court, as if these guys were some kind of terrorists? These are communists tactics and this needs to be broadcast wide and far. This is a scandal, and all those involved need to be made example of. Worse than the IRS thing.
Anyone who had anything to do with this effort needs to be in jail. Or better yet, friken shot.
As if that mattered, just makes it harder to get what they find into court.
No, Trillions. We may even learn a new number if inflation kicks in.
It is enormous money no matter which way you cut it....and it’s why Trump has been attacked by these interests.
I think there is no limit to what they are willing to do, pray for The PEOTUS.
Absolutely.
Perhaps you WISH TO FILE A COMPLAINT..?!
You could be on to something.
But yet the FBI,CIA have given a pass to Hillary and her deals as SOS and donations to CF. Unreal
You know with all this deep diving on Trump before he is President, I am really worried what the spooks who idolize Obama are going to do after he becomes President.
It’s not going to stop.
I pray NY Attorney General under Trump gets Hillary for RICO violations.
Wow. Just flipping wow.
POTUS>ATG>DOJ>FBI
