Two separate sources with links to the counter-intelligence community have confirmed to Heat Street that the FBI sought, and was granted, a FISA court warrant in October, giving counter-intelligence permission to examine the activities of ‘U.S. persons’ in Donald Trump’s campaign with ties to Russia.
Contrary to earlier reporting in the New York Times, which cited FBI sources as saying that the agency did not believe that the private server in Donald Trump’s Trump Tower which was connected to a Russian bank had any nefarious purpose, the FBI’s counter-intelligence arm, sources say, re-drew an earlier FISA court request around possible financial and banking offenses related to the server. The first request, which, sources say, named Trump, was denied back in June, but the second was drawn more narrowly and was granted in October after evidence was presented of a server, possibly related to the Trump campaign, and its alleged links to two banks; SVB Bank and Russia’s Alfa Bank. While the Times story speaks of metadata, sources suggest that a FISA warrant was granted to look at the full content of emails and other related documents that may concern US persons.
The FBI agents who talked to the New York Times, and rubbished the ground-breaking stories of Slate ( Franklin Foer) and Mother Jones (David Corn) may not have known about the FISA warrant, sources say, because the counter-intelligence and criminal sides of the FBI often work independently of each other employing the principle of ‘compartmentalization’.
The FISA warrant was granted in connection with the investigation of suspected activity between the server and two banks, SVB Bank and Alfa Bank. However, it is thought in the intelligence community that the warrant covers any ‘US person’ connected to this investigation, and thus covers Donald Trump...

Did you make it to Washington for that?

To defend the statement “Best Election Ever”, I would submit that what you say is true in relation to the muck-raking that has occurred.
On the other hand, in the past, the GOP has folded and totally acquiesced in the face of the muck-rakers on the left.
Instead, this POTUS is fighting back with a vengeance and does not appear to be losing ground.
Those of us who view this election as a breath of fresh air expect that “draining the swamp” has just begun. There is a lot of swamp to be drained.
For instance, Comey probably cut the legs out from underneath himself by misleading the press on the wire-tapping story. His denials are clearly mis-directions, at best, and probably outright lies. President Trump may use the occasion to show him the door.
However, I believe Trump’s current strategy with Comey is to keep him in employ where information can be extracted from him without having to use a subpoena. I don’t expect Comey to make it to the end of the summer as the head of the FBI.
No, I’m from the other side of the country and don’t have time for that type of travel.

From you post to God’s eyes.
“Keep your friends close and your enemies closer !”
Comey is a stinking liar and should be fired RIGHT NOW and then prosecuted!
The BAD, of this past primary and election season, not to mention the continuance an much higher pile-ones, treason/sedition, leaks, stalling the president's Cabinet picks/other picks, not to mention the MSM and the *cough*entertainment*cough* business AND the Soros funded dangerous, PAID FOR AND TRAINED MOBS, makes this THE WORST OF THE WORST of anything and everything in this nation's history!
This is no longer AMERICA, a CONSTITUTIONAL REPUBLIC, or even the vaguest of a shadow of what the FFs designed this nation to be. Ergo...that stupid, puerile, brain dead meme, repeated in many a post, here, is not just patently ridiculous, OFFENSIVE TO ANYONE WITH MORE THAN 3 WORKING BRAIN CELLS, but uneducated, and sans any merit at all! The more people post it, the worse this site looks!
I drove about 1000 miles, but it was worth it. :)
So the key here is not the surveillance...the court granted the action. The issue is the agencies who gather data on innocent Americans who are not part of the probe are not allowed to share it......yet the Clinton Camp knows of a server.
I walk into a mobbed up pizza joint and happen to mention to somebody the lady with me isn’t my wife, it is illegal to use that info. Of course when did illegal stop Obama. You have to give the libtards some credit.......This Obama as president scam has been in the works for a long, long time. Anybody who thinks it is over is completely lost.
How did they ACQUIRE this "evidence"???????
Did they have a warrant to spy domestically?????
You overlook some of the good which has transpired. If the MSM had rolled on Trump, then a lot of folks would have never picked up on their bias.
All the uproar has alerted a lot of reasonable folks who hadn’t been paying attention that outfits like CNN and the alphabet networks had been lying through their teeth for a long time.
Thus, having Mika “crying” on the air this weekend is really a good thing.
The polls are saying that the MSM has lost a lot of “trust” points during this election cycle. That is a very good thing. The “Fake News” mantra has been turned back on them and thrown in their faces.
True. I take the side of "BS" mainly due to who the author of the article is.
Interesting find

Correct though I'd note it's the world's largest bank in terms of assets and deposits, second in market capitalization. Whether number 1 or 2 it's reasonable to assume they have relationships with most nations in the world. A wonderful place to go fishing. Or is it pfishing.
You have completely IGNORED everything I said, plus what that all implied. WHY ?
Beside this being a stab at a, so far, "bloodless coup", it THE WORST stab at dissolving this nation and EVERYTHING that made America, AMERICA ! Obama said that he wanted to completely change this nation. He meant DESTROY and he did a pretty "good" job of it; the Clintons too!
Our side won ONE battle ( though we lost a whole lot of skirmishes and still are ) and you are blithely unaware of the fact that this WAR is still ragging and shall for a very long time to come.
You need to remove those rose colored glasses and take a long, hard look at REALITY!
Nothing, absolutely NOTHING like this has EVER happened in America, ever before...even though there have been nasty, vile primary and election seasons before; once a president was elected, "normal" life continued. THERE IS NOTHING NORMAL ABOUT THESE TIMES!
Spot on !
