The law imposes criminal sanctions on government officials who “engage in electronic surveillance under color of law except as authorized” by statutes and governing regulations implementing those statutes. This same criminal law makes a person “guilty of an offense” if she intentionally “discloses or uses information obtained under color of law by electronic surveillance, knowing or having reason to know that the information was obtained” in a manner “not authorized” by law.
According to both FBI Director Comey and NSA Director Clapper, no warrant ever authorized the intercepts and electronic surveillance on a member of Trump’s team.
Susan Rice, and the Obama administration, appeared to have often skipped the Constitutional limits on their duties while in office; now might be a good time to buff up on the Fifth Amendment, and the right to counsel. Congress may be calling soon.

I don’t see the point of congressional investigations. Let the grand jury be impaneled.
Got that right!
PING!!!
Article and comments, esp #11
the mainstream media is minimizing this story..... They are criminally complicit. The unmasked names and transcripts were leaked to the NYT and CNN and others....
This is not a small scandal, this is potentially the biggest scandal of our lifetimes.”

Toss in that congress exempts itself from the laws it passes for everyone else, like Obamacare, is enough to make one wonder if we’ll ever live in a republic once again.
Camerota was an utter airhead when she was on Fox. She interviewed me a couple of times and she was basically reading questions someone gave her.
Susan Rice admits on MSNBC that OBAMA requested the spreadsheet after first denying its existence YUUUGE! (self.The_Donald)

The article said Comey said they didn’t have a NSA warrant.
I assume he’s asking for immunity to protect himself from Dims like Schiff.
these types of laws only apply to conservatives. Liberals have judicial immunity and have a separate interpretation of how the law justifies their ends and means
Lock. Her. Up.
perhaps they plan to use the NY court where the head guy was recently fired??
We need them... just not as our overlords. It’s time for major legal reform... Must not throw out the baby with the bath water.
...”Camerota was an utter airhead when she was on Fox. She interviewed me a couple of times and she was basically reading questions someone gave her”....
There’s a couple like her on Fox I could do without....too many Journalists have lost the art....let alone Investigate what they’re reporting on. Too much window dressing and not enough actual work.
Action?........( crickets!)
Lois Lerner
"Lois Gail Lerner is an American attorney and former United States federal civil service employee. Lerner became director of the Exempt Organizations Unit of the Internal Revenue Service in 2005, and subsequently became the central figure in the 2013 IRS targeting controversy in the targeting of conservative groups, either denying them tax-exempt status outright or delaying that status until they could no longer take effective part in the 2012 election. Lerner resigned over the controversy. An investigation by the U.S. Department of Justice and Federal Bureau of Investigation, completed in 2015, found "substantial evidence of mismanagement, poor judgment and institutional inertia" but "found no evidence that any IRS official acted based on political, discriminatory, corrupt, or other inappropriate motives that would support a criminal prosecution."
