Again, they CHOSE not to seek this type of warrant.
They went FISA. In some ways, these are tougher since they have more internal bureaucratic hurdles. But, on the law and the required proof, they are easier (you basically just have to allege a foreign actor is involved).
Bottom Line -- Wiretapping a Presidential Campaign is outrageous.
As I always try and get you to do, reverse the shoes. if this were an R-Pres having the FBI wiretap a Dem Pres campaign, with no allegations of any crime being committed, you guys would be going absolutely apeshyte crazy.
