James Clapper has lots to answer for, He was up to his eyeballs
Career bureaucrat. Not a policy maker.
Who gave him the order to do this?
Only 3 people could do that, Obama directly, which he would not do. He would have told Holder or Lynch as his Thug AG's tell Clapper and Brennan what to do.
They would have asked England's GCHQ to do the surveillance to keep them out of the mess.
3 days after Trump became president, the head of GCHQ retired to spend more time with his family. Admiral Mike Rogers had probably identified his Brit counterpart in his private talks with the our new President Trump. See * below.
Notice how quiet Lynch has been since this $hitstorm hit last year. Even Holder has been quiet this past week. *Obama and his thugs did not need any FISA warrants to spy on/monitor/surveil Candidate Trump or President Elect Trump.
Napolitano: Obama Admin Used British GCHQ To Spy On Trump During Campaign
Posted By Tim Hains On Date March 14, 2017
On Monday, Fox News Channel judicial analyst Andrew Napolitano alleged that three intelligence sources had confirmed to him that the Obama administration used GCHQ (Britain's NSA) to spy on President Trump during the 2016 election so that there would be no paper trail.
"Three intelligence sources have informed Fox News that President Obama went outside the 'chain of command' to conduct the surveillance on Trump," he said. "Obama didnt use the NSA, he didnt use the CIA, he didnt use the FBI, and he didnt use the Department of Justice."
"What happened to the guy who ordered this? Resigned three days after Trump took office," he added.
GCHQ nor Obama did nor required any paperwork to monitor and spy on candidate Trump.
All Obama had to do was have his AG Lynch make a phone call to Robert Hannigan @DCHQ and tell him to monitor candidate Trump and his people. No FISA stuff or judges nor paper trails.

When did Mr Trump become our President? Jan 21, 2017 - Donald Trump became the 45th President of the United States on Friday, vowing to drain power from Washington elites and always put "America first" in its dealings with the world at a moment of transformative political change.
*So one might ask who resigned 2-3 days after Trump became president. It was not one of our intel guys. It was the director of Brit GCHQ intel. Go to the links below to find out who left GCHQ to spend more time with his family.
