The ACLU would have gone absolutely nuts - and rightly so.
So how was this done? There is a process to get this kind of warrant. It has to go through many channels. What information was used to get the warrant? How was that information obtained?
Questions lead to answers. We should all be asking questions. With open minds.

Some people think our government runs amok and does what it wants. This is not the case when it comes to such high end legal matters.
The FISA warrant is a great example. The FBI does not just go and ask a county judge for a FISA warrant. This is something that has to go through multiple layers of government and our legal system, and has to have a lot of evidence. If I recall correctly the original FISA warrant was sixty pages long.
We all know and understand the concept of attorney client privilege. However, that does not mean an attorney can do whatever it wants. When an attorney directly breaks the law it completely destroys attorney client privilege. At that point the attorney is no longer an attorney, but instead a criminal. Again, in order to violate the attorney client privilege you have to have a lot of evidence and has to go through multiple layers of our justice system.
I think the president is in serious trouble. If there wasn't collusion there was obviously obstruction of justice, and most likely other crimes committed along the way. People are being indicted, and some of them are now working for Mueller. If there is nothing to hide and there was no wrong doing, why are people being indicted and why are people working with Mueller. And... Why doesn't Trump's attorney have his own legal team?
