I don't think Chump realizes how badly this will blow-up in his face.My random thoughts:
1] He's not too crazy about the current news cycle concerning a second Don Jr. meeting with another foreign state, to get their help in throwing the election.
2] I'm not even sure he has the authority to order such an investigation, though as always I suppose he can request it.
3] He is really opening-up a possible can of worms here, perhaps bringing-out the reasons why the feds surveilled him in the first place!
4] What is the point of having the FBI investigate itself?
5] If his claim of the FBI doing this for political is reasons accurate, why didn't we here about it? How can it be political?
There was nothing wrong in the way Page and Manafort were surveilled, nor is there any evidence the Trump campaign was targeted by the FBI for political reasons. The IG will do his job, see the warrants all had probable cause, and conclude nothing was done illegally.
His narrative will come apart in an official report - which he ordered.
Worse yet, that will give credibility to whatever Mueller finds.
