The FBI asked the Justice Department on Saturday to refute President Donald Trump's assertion that President Barack Obama ordered the wiretapping of Trump's phones last year, two sources with knowledge of the situation told CNN.

The FBI made the request because such wiretapping would be illegal, since the President cannot just order the eavesdropping of a U.S. citizen's phones, the sources said. A court would have to approve any request to wiretap. The sources would not say who was involved in the conversations between the FBI and DOJ or what role FBI Director James Comey might have played.
One of the sources said instead of the FBI saying something publicly about the allegations, it was felt it would be more appropriate to ask the Justice Department since the bureau as a policy does not confirm or deny investigations.
Wait. What?

:rofl:

^People act very differently if they know they are under investigation, not to mention how the public eye can change the outcome of things. It makes sense to keep that fact private when possible.

Relevant.

You missed the point.

Quote:

Attorney General Loretta Lynch and Deputy Attorney General Sally Yates disagreed with FBI Director James Comey's decision to notify Congress about his bureau's review of emails potentially related to Hillary Clinton's personal server, law enforcement officials familiar with the discussion said.

There was no direct confrontation between Lynch or Yates and Comey. Instead, the disagreements were conveyed to Comey by Justice Department staff, who advised the FBI chief his letter would be against department policy to not comment on investigations close to an election, the officials said.

Explain it to me like I'm three years old please because I'm clearly not on your level. I was talking about the policy bit that you bolded.

I'm going to start keeping track of the number of times you come across as a smug condescending pretensious prick.

Or don't make your point clear like adults do in a discussion, whatever.

If you feel like taking it up instead of just getting offended that I'm trying to have a discussion with you on a discussion forum, this was the quote I was talking about and how that makes sense as a policy.
