Can we get a photo copy of the FISA request?
FOIA

Doubtful because of classification.

The President is able to classify and declassify anything he wants, on a whim.

The classification system only exists due to a Executive Order.

The Kenyan may finally get what's coming to him....a special prosecutor investigation that goes all the way back to his actual place of birff...making his entire presidency a matter of thousands of felonies. But back to issues....his paid liar Ben Rhodes said a "president can't order a wire-tap"....WRONG and they all know it. That statement is a parsing of words that really says it's done "through the Attorney General":

In Chapter 36 of Title 50 of the US Code *War and National Defense", Subchapter 1, Section 1802, we read the following:

(1) Notwithstanding any other law, the President, through the Attorney General, may authorize electronic surveillance without a court order under this subchapter to acquire foreign intelligence information for periods of up to one year if the Attorney General certifies in writing under oath that—

(A) the electronic surveillance is solely directed at—
(i) the acquisition of the contents of communications transmitted by means of communications used exclusively between or among foreign powers, as defined in section 1801(a)(1), (2), or (3) of this title; or
(ii) the acquisition of technical intelligence, other than the spoken communications of individuals, from property or premises under the open and exclusive control of a foreign power, as defined in section 1801(a)(1), (2), or (3) of this title;

(B) there is no substantial likelihood that the surveillance will acquire the contents of any communication to which a United States person is a party; and

(C) the proposed minimization procedures with respect to such surveillance meet the definition of minimization procedures under section 1801(h) of this title; and
if the Attorney General reports such minimization procedures and any changes thereto to the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence and the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence at least thirty days prior to their effective date, unless the Attorney General determines immediate action is required and notifies the committees immediately of such minimization procedures and the reason for their becoming effective immediately.

While (B) seems to contradict the underlying permissive nature of Section 1802 as it involves a United States person, what the Snowden affair has demonstrated all too clearly, is how frequently the NSA and FISA court would make US citizens collateral damage. To be sure, many pointed out the fact that Fox News correspondent James Rosen was notoriously wiretapped in 2013 when the DOJ was investigating government leaks. The Associated Press was also infamously wiretapped in relation to the same investigation.

As pertains to Trump, the Guardian reported as much in early January, when news of the alleged anti-Trump dossier by former UK spy Chris Steele broke in January:

The Guardian has learned that the FBI applied for a warrant from the foreign intelligence surveillance (Fisa) court over the summer in order to monitor four members of the Trump team suspected of irregular contacts with Russian officials. The Fisa court turned down the application asking FBI counter-intelligence investigators to narrow its focus. According to one report, the FBI was finally granted a warrant in October, but that has not been confirmed, and it is not clear whether any warrant led to a full investigation.

Furthermore, while most Democrats - not to mention former president Obama himself - have been harshly critical of Trump's comments, some such as former Obama speechwriter Jon Favreau was quite clear in his warning to reporters that Obama did not say there was no wiretapping, effectively confirming it:

If he is laying low its because he is on the floor laughing at the clown that is currently the POTUS!

That was not his question. FOIA requests do not supercede classification

Why hasn't he done so?

Asked and answered but again, the WH legal team is looking into obtaining copies of the warrant requests....it's never been done before. There's also the possibility that the copies have been given to Congressional intel committee chairman to facilitate perjury charges against under-oath Obama liars. Nobody really believes Trump tweeted without hard evidence....maybe here but not in their heart of hearts.

Drumpf has set a precedence of shooting off his trap and later admitting he was an idiot. Remember when he claimed Obama wasnt a citizen?

 

[tinydancer]

Well we know that the WH was given information regarding conversations. NYT told us they were wire tapped.

So how does that mean Obama ordered the wire taps?

He's a private citizen. If he was forced to speak to reporters every time Trump humiliated himself he wouldn't be able to live his life.

Really?....then he must be ready to give up his pension and secret-service detail...."private citizen" my ass.

He might of shot off his mouth, but he fell into a bed of roses.
He put the press in a bind on this one

He did? How?

I dont think the press is concerned about people that are too dumb to understand that Obama being notified they were investigating Drumpfs server and some of his staff is not the same as Obama wire tapping Drumpf.

And after that he went home for a smoke and a beer. (-:

And a good laugh watching the news about whatever Trump's done to embarass himself lately

 

[The Original Tree]

Lefty Please List The Number of US Presidents that were Wire Tapped by Our Government during their campaigns.

What was done is illegal.

FISA is not supposed to be used in this way.

But Obama never gave a Phuck about the law anyways....so.

Breaking: The AP is reporting Obama's ass puckered 3 sizes smaller after President Trump vowed to get to the bottom of his illegal wire tapping.

It's pretty funny. This OP states the Obama's are laying low therefore they are acting guilty and another poster posted a pic of them leaving the National Gallery of Art, all smiles, and that showed they were acting guilty.

Pretty funny stuff from RWrs, eh?

Is that a Trump rally?

Too many people.
