On that video that the President just tweeted…Jordan at 2:45 mark says fbi went to FISA court July 2016.
Did we know this? I was thinking October 2016.
Lawyers from the National Security Division in the Department of Justice then drew up an application. They took it to the secret US court that deals with intelligence, the Fisa court, named after the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act. They wanted permission to intercept the electronic records from two Russian banks.
Their first application, in June, was rejected outright by the judge. They returned with a more narrowly drawn order in July and were rejected again. Finally, before a new judge, the order was granted, on 15 October, three weeks before election day.

I have thought this same since early on! Definitely a different movie than most are seeing. They are very good at what they do.
