I just ate, I don’t want to hear about Obama’s back door
They get a warrant for a foreign entity in communication with a citizen for the sole purpose of listening to the citizen (which is against the law BTW).
It’s possible he was caught up in a “Whole Pipe “ warrant
Someone also knew and leaked Trump’s private telephone conversations with the President of Mexico and the PM of Australia. All targets of the FBI/CIA?
But, leaking them is a crime. Someone better be going to prison.
Right. And out of all the non US citizens in the entire world, they just happened to pick one who was talking to.....
Pure coincidence, I’m sure.
/sarc
Des anyone really believe any of these agencies are the least bit concerned about laws?
No evidence....despite all of the leaked newspaper articles saying Trump was tapped and evidence of FISA court cords.
President can’t order it...except that he can.
More obfuscation from the lamestream media.
Smells like bullshit in here.
The media knew this from the start, but wanted a narrative of ‘Look, there was a reason to investigate Trump!”.
I hate our lying, greedy media.
There are parts of agencies vulnerable to the law. And then there are other parts completely beyond the law.
Exactly. Another CYA narrative from the left.
No, they can’t do that because it is still a felony to record an American on the line.
Considering there was an election, they probably can’t accidentally backdoor servelance of a candidate for President.
They used the russian excuse to spy on Trump and his people
no
We still don’t know the extent of these U.S. spy agencies involvement in regards to spying on candidates, presidents in order to compromise and undermine American elections.
Begs the question, who do these spy agencies actually work for?
Whatever is the precise technical modality of the eavesdropping technique that was used to capture Trump’s private conversations and other data, that is not the main issue.
The main issue is the criminal leaking of the intelligence gathered in this manner to Trump’s political enemies, including the MSM.
There are criminal penalties for doing this.
The issue of what precise method was used, and whether that method is in 100% agreement with Trump’s tweets of Saturday 4 March 2017, is a red herring, although we can expect this and other red herrings to be constantly waved in our faces as this story unfolds.
It could also be that Schumer’s US Attorney, Preet Bharara, caused spying on Trump to see if he could trump up some charges like he did with Dinesh D’Sousa.
He was caught up in Obama’s Illegal ‘Wiretapping’.
