I've been following some of the news surrounding FISA abuse as much as possible when I have the time, but to be honest I still don't understand this court system fully to recognize the aspects that were actually abused.
Can someone please explain how FISA's original purpose and which part of the Obama admin's actions abused it?
How is FISA even supposed to add value to our nation? Does it target foreign, or domestic criminals?
I want to be able to share more with my coworkers and friends, but this FISA stuff is a part of the Obama scandals that I've never fully understood. To be honest, I don't know anyone that even knows what FISA is. If I could fully understand it maybe I can help others to understand it as well.

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.
