As always, you have no fucking clue what you're yappin' about.FISA has no jurisdiction over wiretaps and surveillance targeted at American citizens. Any authorization to wiretap Manafort would have been illegal.Seriously, at what point did you figure out that Manafort was subject to at least one FISA warrant? I mean you had to be pretty fucking brain dead not to figure that out sometime last Mar or so.take Crooked Obama to jail. lock him up!

The standard for electronic surveillance for foreign intelligence purposes, though, is a little lower. This is because when it comes to national security, as opposed to criminal prosecutions, our Fourth Amendment rights are balanced against the government’s interest in protecting the country. The Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) allows the FBI to get a warrant from a secret court, known as the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court (FISC), to conduct electronic surveillance on U.S. persons if they can show probable cause that the target is an “agent of a foreign power” who is “knowingly engag[ing]…in clandestine intelligence activities.” In other words, the government has to show that the target might be spying for a foreign government or organization.
