Wait, so were the phones tapped and what did they pick up? Or is this just some garbage conspiracy news radio crap that got picked up by breitbart and then made it's way to dear leader?

June 2016 there was a FISA request to monitor trump+some on team which was turned down. In October they put in another request which was approved and they didn't find anything, afaik.

Uyghurs situation in Xinjiang? Just a police action, do not fret. Not ongoing genocide like in EVIL Canada.

I am definitely not a tankie.

From what im gleaming the right wing crankosphere started musing that all thesr leams about meetings with Russians must be coming from ILLEGAL OBUMMER wiretaps which is the real scandal, not us directly colluding with a belligerent international rival that was directly trying to undermine American democracy. Trump then retweeted about it. There might be no taps at all. But considering all the leaks are about people meeting or talking to Kisylak, like, that's obviously who was being surveiled and he's the Russian Ambassador so of loving course he was?

I don't know what's real anymore, but it's all loving hilarious.

This lady on msnbc is saying the fisa was about that server trump had connected to some Russian banks. I vaguely remember this from back then itt but it was mostly "lol trump" and not too serious iirc

moderately annoying

Reminder that this was published literally this week:

http://www.reuters.com/article/us-usa-trump-fisa-idUSKBN16855P

quote:

White House supports renewal of spy law without reforms: official

The Trump administration does not want to reform an internet surveillance law to address privacy concerns, a White House official told Reuters on Wednesday, saying it is needed to protect national security.

The announcement could put President Donald Trump on a collision course with Congress, where some Republicans and Democrats have advocated curtailing the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act, or FISA, parts of which are due to expire at the end of the year.
