he just isn't and it is going to get REAL ugly getting him out of the white house if the Rs actually do what needs to be done.

10. Question
Sun Mar 19, 2017, 06:03 AM
Mar 2017

Are the FBI and CIA under Trumps control? Could he have shut down the investigations? Is that why Feinstein appeared despondent after the Comey meeting?

11. This narrative is so ridiculous

She was absolutely NOT despondent.
Anyone who says she was sounds like one of the Trump voters who ALSO see what they want to see- as opposed to reality.
I really wish people on DU would stop saying this. It makes us all look nuts.

12. What about Clapper saying there no FISA warrant??
Sun Mar 19, 2017, 08:49 AM
Mar 2017

And i thought FISA warrants had to be very specific about whom they target?

Todd: I was just going to say, if the FBI for instance, had a FISA court order of some sort for surveillance, would that be information you would know or not know?

Clapper: Yes

Todd: You would be told this?

Clapper: I would know that.

Todd: If there was a FISA court order…

Clapper: Yes

Todd: ..on something like this?

Clapper: Something like this absolutely.

Todd: And at this point you can’t confirm or deny whether that exists?

Clapper: I can deny it

Todd: There is no FISA court order?

Clapper: Not to my knowledge.

13. Also curious as to why a warrant re: a computer server (maybe not at trump tower)
Sun Mar 19, 2017, 09:07 AM

would 'thus cover trump and 3 other people', or "any other US person connected to the investigation".

Is it because those 4 people were mentioned in the foreign intelligence information?

Seems kinda broad for a warrant, esp FISA.

straight.

Surely we have a book coming. I just hope it's in time for any of us to be left to read it in the US.

16. What this actually says: The chain of evidence used to get FISA warrant on Trumpland rests
Sun Mar 19, 2017, 09:46 AM

on evidence gathered by foreign intelligence.

A foreign ally presented actionable intelligence regarding persons in Trumpland and the FBI needed to get a warrant to look so any prosecutions would have a clear legal basis.
