The Obama DOJ would be the one to request a FBI investigation into Russian collusion with the Trump campaign.

Only with evidence presented to the AG by the FBI and other Intelligence Agencies.

No, Obama's DOJ first ordered the investigation.

What ? You think the FBI acted of its own accord and brought evidence to the DOJ first ?
Lol !

Ignoring the conclusion as to the nature of the Trump tweet, its not neccesarily so that anything that occurred within the law here would not be scandalous.
A FISA warrant requires less probable cause than the more conventional warrant. What was the Obama Administration trying to do? Remember, they chose not to prosecute the crimes that the FBI concluded Mrs. Clinton had committed.

They said Hillary's conduct was un-prosecutible meaning that any prosecution would find her innocent.

Did the order come from Obama? As I recall, that's the accusation, and what Comey and responded to in the hearings, and what the Intelligence Committee specifically stated there's no evidence for.

You cant have it both ways. As there indeed was an investigation into the Trump campaign, you cant turn around and say President Obama didnt know about it.
2016 looks more interesting in 2017. Both candidates were subject FBI investigation. And tet it is still Mrs. Clinton who the FBI said broke the law.

And now I remember why I don't listen to anything you say. You're about as trustworthy as Trump.

Read the link, unless you dont have the integrity to admit you were wrong.

Comey admitted the existence of a counter intel investigation into Russian collusion that extend to Trump and his asaociates.

Who would have called for that inestigation ? Obama's DOJ

The accusation has to do with Obama ordering the wiretapping. The FBI and the NSA have said there's no evidence for this claim.

Just a link that proves the existence of a counter intel investigation into Russia's alledged interference that extended to Trump and his associates

The accusation has to do with the campaign being investigated by the Obama Admin.
Of which the president is responsible.

He specified Obama by name. We're just going around in circles now. We're done here.

Comey confirms FBI investigating Russia, Trump ties

FBI Chief James Comey said publicly for the first time Monday that his agency is investigating alleged links between Russia and the Trump campaign and whether any crimes may have been committed during last year's election campaign.

"That includes investigating the nature of any links between individuals associated with the Trump campaign and the Russian government and whether there was any coordination between the campaign and Russia's efforts," Comey said in his opening statement to a dramatic hearing before the House Intelligence Committee.​

But I'm sure this is less important than if he found Hillary emailed anyone else on the planet.

Comey is a POS, for sure, but it's not likely that the FBI is really going to find anything on Trump-Russia connections. Trump may be incompetent enough to leave breadcrumbs, but Putin isn't. If there was direct collusion, I'm guessing that it was a wink-and-nod rather than anything that was spelled out or written on paper.

I've already read about. My load appointment isn't until 5:30, so I have a few minutes.

This what I discovered:

Acting on the basis of information from a confidential informant, officers of the Burbank, Cal., Police Department initiated a drug-trafficking investigation involving surveillance of respondents' activities. Based on an affidavit summarizing the police officers' observations, Officer Rombach prepared an application for a warrant to search three residences and respondents' automobiles for an extensive list of items. The application was reviewed by several Deputy District Attorneys, and a facially valid search warrant was issued by a state-court judge. Ensuing searches produced large quantities of drugs and other evidence. Respondents were indicted for federal drug offenses, and filed motions to suppress the evidence seized pursuant to the warrant. After an evidentiary hearing, the District Court granted the motions in part, concluding that the affidavit was insufficient to establish probable cause. Although recognizing that Officer Rombach had acted in good faith, the court rejected the Government's suggestion that the Fourth Amendment exclusionary rule should not apply where evidence is seized in reasonable, good-faith reliance on a search warrant. The Court of Appeals affirmed, also refusing the Government's invitation to recognize a good-faith exception to the rule. The Government's petition for certiorari presented only the question whether a good-faith exception to the exclusionary rule should be recognized.

That's nothing close to the scenario I described.

There is nothing alleged about Russian interference in the 2016 election. It is a fact. The only thing alleged is collusion by the Trump campaign and the investigation is not over.

Wow.....In that WaPo article it states that Comey confirmed the existence of a counter intillegence investigation into Russia's alledged interference that extended to Trump, his associates and his campaign.

Who would have ordered that investigation ? The Obama DOJ, not the FBI or the NSA.


The NYTs article on the 19th of January talked about this very investigaion

That's not an unreasonable guess. Would there even need to be a secret collusion? Trump openly asked for Russia to hack Clinton's emails and Trump was pretty open recognizing the legitimacy of Putin's annexation of Crimea. The quid pro quo isn't especially obscure.

Russian interference in the election consisted of releasing files from John Podesta's computer. Files which Podesta never denied the accuracy of.
