RE: FISA court = Rubber stamp
In the case of Obama, he did not even need the FISA court.
And here’s the disturbing thing -— Even if it was discovered that Obama himself ordered the wiretap, IT WAS WELL WITHIN THE LAW.
Obama could always say that he SUSPECTED collusion between Trump and Russia and he used the powers given to him by law to act.
I’m not sure that has been established at this point, one thing is for sure, the federal government is out of control.
And if he was really pushed, he can argue the law is an unconstitutional impediement on the president, and he might win that.
I agree with your sentiment, Obama is on legally safe ground.
BUT, he is in a political minefield, and that is where this issue will play out. The DEMs will try to turn it into a legal issue, I saw this coming last week.
That is exactly what he is going to say! National security, don’cha know!
