What I'd like to know is, under 50 USC 1805, is it possible to have a wiretap order issued strictly on the authorization of the Attorney General?
Here is a snippet that contains the wording in question:
"the judge shall enter an ex parte order as requested or as modified approving the electronic surveillance if he finds that - (1) the application has been made by a Federal officer and approved by the Attorney General"
Since we know the request was turned-down once by the FISA court (a rare occurrance indicating the reason for getting the wiretap approval were really weak) - did Obama turn to his own AG to go ahead and do it anyway?
Obama and Loretta Lynch would look good in orange jumpsuits.
No surprise here. Some throw caution to the wind. Obammy throws the Constitution.
Who above the level of Private Bradley Manning has gone to prison for anything like this?
has to be a probable cause warrant in additional to official sign-off.
Didn’t Obama sign into power a “Warrantless Wiretap Bill” a bunch of years ago?
This is criminal — ABSOLUTELY. This is why the fabricated Russia /Trump bull ship was being peddled to idiots!! I have never seen any abuse of office to this magnitude in my life . The make Watergate look like play school, I fully expect some peopple to start flleing the country. Trump needs total air port shut down on these criminals!!
When Trump open a grand jury over Fast and Furious then Zero and h0lder may be facing mass murder charges. Trump should pound that.
Bottom line is that a sitting President WIRETAPPED the candidate from the other party DURING an election. There is no way on God’s green earth that this was not political in nature.
I’d bet on it
No, on that last point. They went back in October with another version, which was approved this time.
" Democrats may regret Sessions’ recusal, as his replacement is a mini-Sessions: a long-respected, a-political, highly ethical prosecutor, Dana Boente, whose reputation is well-warranted from his service at the Tax Division, and who won’t be limited by any perceived ties to Trump, given his prior appointment by Obama. Obama himself appeared scared of Boente, as he removed Boente from the successor-to-Sessions position during the lame-duck part of Obama’s presidency, but Trump restored Boente to that role earlier this month. Democrats may get the investigation they wanted, but it may be their own that end up named in the indictment."
Here is my prediction.
Democrats will soon, very soon quit calling for an investigation,
because an investigation will uncover Watergate style corruption
and criminal activity on the part of Obama and his Intel henchmen.
Many RATs will go to jail over this.
That’s my prediction and I’m sticking to it.
Obama will have first learned of the wiretaps on the news tomorrow morning.
Trump and Sessions played this nicely.

Please Lord God, let this be so!
>There Could Be Serious Legal Problems if Obama Admin Involved in Illegal Surveillance<
.
Stop dreaming.
Anyone going to press charges against the first black POTUS?
Get real.
There is two things
There could be and illegal wiretap and illegal use of the information.. given to the Hillary campaign for political use
Or
You could have a legal wiretap it had a warrant but a illegal use of the information... given to the Hillary campaign for political use
Flynn call was potentially legally recorded but the information was illegally used for political purposes
??????IF???????
