[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Can someone with legal ease explain this to me and whether if it is true was it legal for Obama to do so?[/quote]

I don't think you need legalese to understand that a FISA warrant is only granted, by a judge, if there's sufficient evidence that a US citizen is working against US interests.[/quote]

OK.  Let's say that the Obama administration had some such evidence.  They got the warrant.  They tapped the phones.  They collected the conversations and such.

Whatever they gathered still exists, unless it was destroyed by the previous administration. 
-What did they collect and where is it?
-If it was destroyed, why?

And, if the Obama administration did this, they must not have found anything actionable or incriminating because we would certainly know about it.  This is not something they would keep under wraps.

So, we can assume they found nothing actionable.  Which begs the question - what was this "sufficient evidence" they had to begin with?

This all smells pretty fishy to me.  [/quote]

A key question is whether Trump's phones were tapped, or if the calls of Russian officials were intercepted and Trump happened to be who they were calling. I don't take Trump at his word that the wiretap was applied to his phone rather than the communications of foreign officials. Intercepting foreign government communications is basic modern intelligence gathering.
