One thing I don't get about this whole wiretapping brouhaha - if the FISA court was approached, twice, by Obama surrogates, or the FBI acting in response to Obama’s DOJ, since FISA is about national security, actions by its court fall under the purview of the presidency and I imagine various congressional committees - so why does everyone still seem to not know what was in the FISA petitions or whether they were even made? Sure it’s classified info, but not when it comes to the President and the intelligence committees - so why all the confusion? Seems to me either Trump knows the details but can’t divulge them, is being stonewalled by the FBI, or was the target of the FISA action and can’t access the info because that I guess would amount to tampering with an ongoing investigation - although FISA is not a criminal court so I don't know how that would work exactly. Regardless - there must be several or more people still in the government who know what’s what here but can’t say for any number of reasons - still, why are so many people who should have a clue acting as if they don’t? It seems improbable to me that at the very least Trump doesn’t know if FISA petitions were filed and who the target was - if they weren’t filed or he wasn't the target, why put out those tweets? And if they were filed and he was the target - why put out the tweets? Because he did nothing wrong but knows Obama did and wants the press to jump on the story? Or because he is guilty of something and wants to make the story rather about supposed misdeeds by Obama? But - with so many leaks so far by Obama operatives trying to damage Trump - if he is guilty of something, why haven’t the details of that been leaked? Is it possible because both Trump and Obama are guilty of serious misdeeds here?
Lot of questions - precious few answers - but one is definitely getting the feeling that once those questions are answered, it’s gonna be a bad day for someone.
