1. Why not investigate the Clinton's same time

All these leaks and ad-hominem attacks against the president over nonsense.
Push back - you are the president.
2. what is being reported
C   (03.05.17)
in june 2016 and application was made to the fisa court asking for a
warrant to surveil four individuals, one of whom was allegedly trump.
this application for a warrant was denied by the court as being
overbroad.
in october 2016 a new application was made to the fisa court for
a warrant to surveil a server in trump tower which is linked to
two russian banks which are renting in trump tower. allegedly,
this application for a warrant was granted by the fisa court.

warrants by the fisa court are granted only in cases involving
espionage or activities by foreign agents, or in cases of
terrorism
the two russian banks had been investigated by the fbi as
a criminal matter, but nothing illegal was found.
it was then that relevant authorities went to the fisa court
to obtain a warrant. the application for warrant to the fisa
court need only show that there is reasonable suspicion of
espionage or activities by a foreign agent. it is easier
to obtain a fisa warrant than to obtain a federal criminal
warrant for the same matter.
in order to obtain a fisa warrant, the attorney general, in this
case, loretta lynch, had to sign the application.
it is not difficult to write an application for a warrant implicating
two russian banks, even if the substance is not true.
any application to the fisa court for a warrant would be known
by the president, i.e., obama.
the purpose of the warrant would be to try to catch trump or
any of his people in contact with russians working for or
communicating with the russian banks. it was a stupid move.

the contents of your posts over the last several months show exactly
why the us democratic party is in decline.

trump has not committed any impeachable offenses.
the republican party cannot replace the president who
was democratically elected by the people.
