"Please stop the investigation into Russian interference in our election Mr. Mueller. We are afraid of where it might lead." - Idiots
I'm sure when it's all over both of you will say "I knew it all along". Hog will have an additional qualifier "I voted for Jill". You have already used yours "There all crooks".
If they were anti-Trump and they wanted to influence the election, why did no one leak a single word about the Russia investigation? It's not like they were leak proof.
The FBI publicly stated they were reopening the Clinton investigation DAYS before the election. The Russia/Trump team investigation? Crickets!!!
Yea, that really sounds like they had it in for Trump. They handed him the election.
Because they had been illegally spying on Trump since 2015 and had no legal cover (i.e. FISA warrant) to conduct electronic surveillance of American citizens.
The Carter Page FISA application was first approved in October of 2016.
He was no longer with the campaign in October so how was the FBI using the FISA warrant to spy on Trump?

So you're ignorant of how FISA warrants work, huh?
FISA warrants are retroactive and allow for spying on everyone within "2 hops" - meaning every single person that Carter Page emailed, texted or called directly AND every single person that those people emailed, texted or called.
As such, a FISA warrant would provide great cover if you were already illegally spying on an American citizen.
FISA is for "active" Surveillance. AND you are dead wrong that they can monitor every single person that those people emailed, texted or called. That would require an additional FISA warrant on those people if they are American.
Under the old rules, a third hop could result in hundreds, if not thousands, of phone and contact information for people, most of whom officials believe likely would not know, much less communicate with, the suspect.
On Tuesday, the Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI) released documents detailing significant reforms aimed at addressing weighty privacy concerns raised after the Snowden theft.
Under new rules released by the ODNI, NSA will be limited to two hops. According to an explanation in the documents, the limitation to two hops reduces the number of potential results from each query.
