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 Trumps 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 Trumps Trump Tower which was connected to a Russian bank had any nefarious purpose, the FBIs 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 Russias 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.

Ironic that Mensch (a vile anti Trumper) would be the one who essentially nailed Obama.
She wrote this with 100% near certainty that Trump was going to lose the next day and was just another hit piece.
This would NEVER EVER have been published if they knew he’d get the power of the presidency to investigate.
I don’t remember ever seeing or hearing this story; however, it is nuts....since WHEN has preside3nt Trump EVER had any dealings with ANY Russian bank ? I don’t believe this at all!
So happy to see Trump Fight back, unlike Bush.
Proof that the FBI is attempting a coup against the elected U.S. Government.
Is this the hack who’s been sparring with Trump atty Cohen, on twitter?
RE: Two separate sources with links to the counter-intelligence community
And therein lies the problem —— UNIDENTIFIED “SOURCES” once again.
How do we know if they are real or not made up?
Here is is. If this is true we now have the worst scandal n history. Fisa is not used on financial dealings. It is used on NATIONAL: SECURITY INVESTIGATIONS ONLY!! This was a fabrication to justify spying on the campaign. Comey was a political hack of hillary. He totally sandbagged her criminal case and wiore tapped TRUMP ion TRUMP TOWER. THE DOJ___ IS OBAMA!!!Absolutely was done at his directyion and with his knowledge. This is abuse of power beyond any in history.Comey must now be fired. This is a criminal violation of ire tapping. We need a grand jury and immediate indictments. OUTRAGEOUS!!!!! The presidents executivebn minons wire tapped Donal J Trump on a scam warrant We want that warrant, the affidavit of probable cause and all evidence and conclusions of that illegal WIRETAP!!
Bump.
This was when Never Trump was at it’s most hysterical.
Trump rented office space to business/government organizations. Any organization from Russia, such as an ambassador or UN office would have required a Russian bank connection to accept monthly rent payment.
Yes...
Good point.
And I got a 20-year prison term and was ordered to pay $40,000 in fines for a botched DNC burglery.
Please god let this lead to the imprisonment of Obama, Hillary, and please throw in Soros while you are at it.
Proof that someone in the FBI is attempting a coup against the elected U.S. Government.
