He certainly could have ordered surveillance of Trump, despite the false narrative being pushed that a President doesn't have the power to do so.



Chapter 36 of Title 50 of the US Code *War and National Defense", Subchapter 1, Section 1802 (http://college.cengage.com/polisci/schubert/law_legal_process/9e/assets/students/additional_cases/schubert_9e_additional_cases_ch04_03.pdf)


(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.

The Trump wiretap story is more important than you realize

And that court order must have been based on a reasonable suspicion of wrongdoing. And it happened in October.

So, what reasonable suspicion of wrongdoing might have been raised in October, regarding Trump? You guessed it: Russian hacking of the election. Which in turn implies that the warrant was issued by the super-secret FISA court (well-known to almost never refuse a warrant request.)

And that means that the either the FBI, or the CIA, or the NSA, knows a lot about what was really going on.

And Trump knows they know, because this morning, he was briefed.

And hoo-boy. The Trumpster is running scared.

Angry Trump removes Priebus and Bannon from Air Force One manifest


Before heading off to his so-called "winter White House" in Palm Beach, Florida, on Friday, President Donald Trump (http://abcnews.go.com/topics/news/donald-trump.htm) summoned some of his senior staff to the Oval Office and went "ballistic," senior White House sources told ABC News.

The president erupted with anger over the latest slew of news reports connecting Russia with the new administration -- specifically the abrupt decision by Attorney General Jeff Sessions (http://abcnews.go.com/topics/news/us/jeff-sessions.htm) to recuse himself from investigations into Russian meddling in the 2016 campaign.


And apparently Trump didn’t care who saw this juvenile display.


With Marine One waiting on the South Lawn, Trump and his team engaged in an animated exchange -- captured by press pool cameras peering in through the windows from the White House South Lawn. Trump then left the office for the helicopter, taking the hands of his young grandchildren and joined by his daughter Ivanka and Kushner.

So, naturally, Trump had to continue the tantrum.


As President Trump was in the air aboard Marine One headed for Air Force One (http://abcnews.go.com/topics/news/us/air-force-one.htm) on the tarmac at Joint Base Andrews, a last-minute phone call was made from the West Wing to the team on board the president’s plane with a directive to remove Priebus and Bannon from the manifest, sources said. They would not be coming to the Sunshine State.

BREAKING: Comey Asks DOJ to Reject Trump’s Wiretap Accusations

The DOJ has not released an official statement at this time, but Comey has stated that the highly charged claim is false and must be corrected.

In addition, Trump’s accusation implies that the F.B.I. would have broken the law should the allegations be true.

Comey has also been working with the DOJ to knock down Trump’s claim as there is virtually no evidence.

A statement by the F.B.I. invalidating the president’s claims would be a huge blow to the office of the presidency, essentially putting the

nation’s top law enforcement officials in a position whereas they could question the truthfulness of the nation’s highest government official.

‘No one knows what Donald Trump was talking about’: FBI and law enforcement baffled by ‘wiretap’ claims

“Up and down the FBI and other law enforcement agencies, really no one knows what Donald Trump was talking about,” said Prokupecz.

“And going forward, they’re going to look to try and see, you know, if perhaps there’s something they missed. But right now, there’s no indication that anyone in law enforcement was eavesdropping on Donald Trump.”

“They’re just saying, ‘This just did not happen,'” he said.

It makes no sense for the Trump election team to talk to the Russians about the fiddling with elections. Trump was getting killed in polls. What are they going to talk about, the chances of Trump winning at the time were miniscule. You will not convince Boots of this however. If it was going to be close, I can see people being more nervy. Some people on this board are unable to go back to the conditions at the time and reason it out.

Even with a as big a liar as Trump is, I don't see how someone so lacking in composure and forethought could actually plan and carry out a set of actions to solve any but the simplest perceived problems. He has no time to see possible consequences of actions. Like a child with a chemistry set we can only hope he learns or just goes golfing and let others he has hired learn.

Trash under attack through racist Sessions who is going down for perjury about Russia.

Trash deflecting from Sessions' disaster

Trash'a M-A-L staff knew in the 2000s that when Trash was on site that he snooped their calls.

Exactly what happened. People forgot all about Sessions after Trump's misdirection with the wiretapping claims. Cheeto is anything but stupid, tbh. Apparently everybody else is because they keep falling for the exact same trick over and over and over.

Top Republican tweets article suggesting there are Russian agents in Trump Tower (http://www.dailykos.com/stories/2017/3/6/1640657/-Top-Republican-tweets-article-suggesting-there-are-Russian-agents-in-Trump-Tower)

Republican Sen. John Cornyn is apparently so desperate to back up Donald Trump that he will tweet any old thing if its headline seems to say something good about Trump. But he may be about to learn that it’s a good idea to read the entire article first.

Witness:


http://images.dailykos.com/images/374255/large/Cornyn_oops.jpg?1488817741



Former George W. Bush Attorney General Michael Mukasey said that (http://thehill.com/business-a-lobbying/322403-former-bush-ag-trump-right-that-there-was-surveillance#.WL1zHMbLIsA.twitter) any surveillance of Trump Tower was “conducted at the behest of the attorney general — at the Justice Department,” rather than on the orders of former President Barack Obama. But it gets better:

Mukasey said if there were a wiretap on Trump Tower, it would mean that there was suspicion someone had been acting as Russian agent.

"It means there was some basis to believe that somebody in Trump Tower may have been acting as an agent of the Russians for whatever purpose,” he said.

“Not necessarily the election, but for some purpose.”


So what Cornyn was really tweeting, under the “Trump likely right” headline, was

“Trump likely right that Trump Tower was under surveillance, but that’s because the Justice Department probably had reason to believe there were Russian agents in Trump Tower.”

OBAMA DENIES WIRETAPPING TRUMP: “LIKE I’D WANT TO HEAR MORE FROM THAT FOOL?”

WASHINGTON — Donald J. Trump’s claim that Barack Obama wiretapped him received a strong denial on Monday from the former President, who said to reporters, “Like I’d want to hear more from that fool?”

Obama said that, when he first saw Trump’s allegations on Twitter, “My first thought was, Only a narcissist on the scale of Donald Trump would think people want to hear more from him than they currently do. If anything, I think we’d all like to hear way, way less.”

He said that his wife, Michelle, agreed that the idea of his wanting to hear more from Donald Trump “was one of the funniest things she’s ever heard.”

“When I read her those Trump tweets on Saturday morning, she totally cracked up,” the former President said.

“Whenever we’re at home and that guy comes on TV, I’m always, like, ‘Michelle, turn that damn thing off.’ ”

Obama visibly shuddered at the notion of intelligence agencies providing him with hours of recordings of Donald Trump talking.

“Don’t even,” he said.

Trash has told CBP/DHS to go full speed ahead, and to deputize local LE to help (unpaid of course)

Repug DoJ, w or w/o Sessions, will gut the civil rights division just like dubya did, and stop investigating rotten local LE and their crimes.

The Repug police state will be nastier, meaner, illegal as ever.

Why is it that those who talk about the left need evidence, but those who talk about the right don't?

The contacts between the individuals in question and the Russians is not in question anymore. The question is how deep the rabbit hole goes.

No he didn't. Not being aware is not prohibitive.

I'm not sure what case you think the "media" has made. I am always amused by people that buy into the propaganda that they all think with the same brain.

At the end of the day the Trump campaign then administration lied repeatedly about contact with Russians. The FBI investigation has his representative recused and the Trump camp is losing control of the Congressional probes because of all the scrutiny and pressure.

You're doing a poor job staying in character.

If you want to add other things Clapper said, you can add, "there is no bulk data collection going on the American populace."

You keep acting like there is some sort of conclusion in an ongoing series of investigations. Trump has the FBI and soon both houses of congress investigating him.

Lying under oath is the issue now. There is an ongoing investigation as to what you claim is 'everything.' If they can prove a quid pro quo with the Russians for the campaign that would be something in addition to the current issue.
