"Trump aides were caught talking to Russian agents, and those conversations were captured because the intelligence community regularly taps the phone lines of those Russian agents," Mook said.
He said the real question that needs to be asked is why were Trump aides talking to Russia so much.
Mook added that the Clinton campaign was informed by the intelligence community that wiretaps of Russian agents did in fact take place.

Now some may say the taps weren't on Trumps people, but on the russians. But keep in mind Clapper says there was no evidence of wrong doing. Therefore they had no right to spread info to anyone about this, let alone Trumps political opponent!

Here is my issue with the above.
Its already been stated by both sides that we monitor the Russian Ambassador as a matter of course via our secret services (and Russia does the same).
Knowing that please explain the need for a FISA warrant in order to monitor a Russian we already monitor as a matter of course. The same holds, presumably, for any Russian national we have identified and linked to Russian secret services / russian government.

Alfa bank is not a state bank. It is a private bank owned by Mikhail Fridman who has triple Israeli Ukrainian Russian citizenships. It is illegal to spy on private foreign citizens. A FISA cannot do that. It would require a different kind of warrant.
