FISA = FOREIGN. Intelligence. Surveillance. Act.

https://it.ojp.gov/PrivacyLiberty/authorities/statutes/1286

The key part being "foreign." In affect, this act is illegal, and unconstitutional as dystopian hell. But, the Supreme Court ruled otherwise, and allowed this constitutional abomination to exist in our country anyways.

It is only allowed to exist because it is supposed to be used only against foreign powers, and as such, technically (according to loose interpretation of the Constitution) does not violate the constitutional rights American citizens.

Edit. That's where the 0bama administration goons decided to abuse the law by trying to frame the POTUS, and associates as being foreign agents. It was a ploy to justify the illegal use of FISA powers in order to undermine a private citizen (Trump) from becoming elected. This is what totalitarian regimes do, not us.

So did MI6 / Christopher Steele / Five Eyes spy on Trump from foreign soil to get just enough dirt in order for Obama entities to us to get the FISA court warrant?

That's what I've interpreted from the "abuse" part, but not sure if I'm way off.

Also, thank you for that link, excellent in-depth info!

The warrant was obtained because the applicants, Comey et al, said the dossier was verified. The judges relied on the honesty of such a claim. Additionally, it is believed by some that the signing judges were sympathetic to the cause and didn’t look to hard for proof.
