The American people deserve to know why a FISA judge allowed a wiretap of a Presidential campaign official and what, if anything, they found. And it sounds like: not much.
We also deserve to know what Obama knew and when he knew it. I'm guessing a surveillance request of this calliber required his approval.
Unseal the documents for the American public, and the world, now.

Agree but sounds like you've already made your mind up that it was illegal before any evidence one way or the other has been released. What if there was strong justification?pawz said:We know HondoFS and Boobs will deny it, but this is Watergate-level stuff.
