Everything is totally fine. Perfectly normal for a president to claim that his campaign was illegally spied on (by virtue of a judicially approved FISA warrant obtained on a person who the president otherwise denies was part of his campaign) while at the same time openly claiming it's reasonable for him to work with a foreign government to investigate an opponent in the next election.
This doesn't at all resemble a banana republic or a fascist state.
1) if the FBI or DOJ lies in a fisa application and the judge grants it, not knowing about the lies, does that legitimize the warrant? Obviously not. Your logic sucks.
2)Through a single warrant, government agents can capture phone calls, texts, emails and bank records from people "two hops" away. That means all of the suspected spy's direct contacts "one hop" and everybody who contacts those people or even visits their Facebook pages or websitestwo hops.
How many times was the FISA application re-submitted by people appointed by Trump?
It was renewed in January, April, and July of 2017. They must have found some evidence during the first 90 days of surveillance. The alternative is that Rosenstein didn't want to "obstruct" the investigation or appear to be doing so
