2: They did in fact (illegally) find some people in violation of various laws. Including at least one Trump staffer. The IG made that point specifically.
3: Bok has it right: They were an equal opportunity illegal surveillance operation.
You mean, like Comey announcing an “investigation” into Clinton’s buttery males just a couple of weeks before the 2016 election, while keeping several investigations into the Trump campaign’s … cooperation … with Russian operatives completely secret?
Chip, Chip, Chip… there are some pretty important things going on right now. Perhaps you’re not aware. Old campaign propoganda in not one of them. Or is it just that you don’t have anything important to say?
Is this to distract from Trump’s firing of IG (1) that brought whistle-blower info to Congress, Trump removing the person who was supposed to oversee the stimulus funds (2), to hide the shortages of supplies (3) or to distract from ACTING Navy Secretary firing a ship commander because the commander wanted to protect his troops (2nd link)?
1. Trump’s “late-night firing on Friday of Michael Atkinson, the intelligence community inspector general who forwarded to Congress a whistleblower complaint that ultimately led to the president’s impeachment in the House.”
2. “Glenn Fine, the acting Defense Department inspector general and a veteran watchdog, had been selected by peers last month for the position. Now it’s unclear who will oversee the rescue law.” “I’ll be the oversight," Trump declared as lawmakers were finalizing the rescue plan." YIKES!!!
3. “On Monday, the president also publicly condemned the acting Health and Human Services watchdog over a survey of hospitals about the coronavirus response.”
Between the two links, if you read them as a drinking game and took a shot every time you see the word “ACTING” you would get plastered. Trump never filled all of the positions in the government and has fired so many of those put in place, that the government is being run by people who never had time to learn the job and they were never approved by the Senate. Probably too busy shoving through unqualified judges.

So three things:
1: The FBI scrood the pewch big time w.r.t. FISA
2: They did in fact (illegally) find some people in violation of various laws. Including at least one Trump staffer. The IG made that point specifically.
3: Bok has it right: They were an equal opportunity illegal surveillance operation.

Every presidential hopeful should undergo a thorough investigation. There should be no doubt that they are clean when they step onto that stage.

So then how can you claim that the F.B.I.’s treatment of Trump is unfair?
