The intelligence agencies must have a specific FISA warrant to surveil American citizens.
What definition of “legality” are you using here? I ask because you sure as shit aren’t referring to American law, which very clearly and by explicit design created the FISC, secrecy and all. As for “without a court order,” Trump could not have been legally targeted under section 1802. Edit: or do you think this has to do with emergency surveillance for a warrant that was later not authorized? Any actual reason to believe this?
Relatedly, do you believe that the FISC ought to begin conducting its business in public? Do you believe that suspected foreign agents should be notified of FISA warrants by which they are named?
You’re using Louise Mensch as your source? You do realize she has made it her life’s mission to prove Trump’s ties to Russia, right?
Keep in mind smh is still referring to the buzzfeed leaked dossier
Of course Trump is using tap-gate as a distraction from the issues with Russia, but also to deflect attention from at least two other reversals we’re seeing early this week: his watered down immigration restriction order, which is a humiliating defeat, and the fact that he’s breaking his promise on using domestic steel in the construction of the pipeline.

Question - Which is worse to the Republic - Trump making a false accusation or illicit wiretapping / releasing information etc?
Not sure I believe this, as who could lie so much of the time?! I did find it a funny from a year ago.
Sarah Jones seems like a real fan of the party…
yea big shocker its 50% Russian just like the White house…zing
Do we even have enough production capacity at this point to do that?
He wasnt tapped fake news
JK Obama tapped everyone hes even seen my 3AM D pics
Of course. Fortunately there’s a BS response already in existence. The language of Trump’s order only applies to FUTURE pipelines (from my layman’s reading).
Which means either he didn’t mandate the current pipeline use US steel like promised, or he left it open ended to give himself an out.
Trump continues to try to kick out those freeloading illegals…

It seems that Putin’s confidant Dmitry Rybolovlev is again coincidentally in the same place as Donald Trump.
For those (I assume pretty much everyone) who don’t know who Rybolovlev is, here’s a detailed expose:

Yes, the Dmitry Rybolovlev ‘Travelgate’ story is deeply suspicious, and concerning. If others aren’t aware of it, I urge you to look into it.
He broke the law, I don’t understand the problem here?
This guy is a wounded warrior. I don’t often chide anyone on PWI, but you need to be quiet about this one. Just let it go.

You could pretty much ask that question after every one of Raj’s posts.

Hmmm. I’m a tad dubious about that. Plate production, maybe, but tube and high pressure pipe is a different animal all together.
It’s not that I’m trying to be a dick to a wounded warrior, it’s that you cannot apply the law against some and not against others. Otherwise you don’t have rule of law.
If you think the law should be amended for cases such as these that’s fair but a different point.
