It was passed to the US by an intelligence agency of one of the Baltic States. The CIA cannot act domestically against American citizens so a joint counter-intelligence taskforce was created.

The taskforce included six agencies or departments of government. Dealing with the domestic, US, side of the inquiry, were the FBI, the Department of the Treasury, and the Department of Justice. For the foreign and intelligence aspects of the investigation, there were another three agencies: the CIA, the Office of the Director of National Intelligence and the National Security Agency, responsible for electronic spying.

Lawyers from the National Security Division in the Department of Justice then drew up an application. They took it to the secret US court that deals with intelligence, the Fisa court, named after the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act. They wanted permission to intercept the electronic records from two Russian banks.

Their first application, in June, was rejected outright by the judge. They returned with a more narrowly drawn order in July and were rejected again. Finally, before a new judge, the order was granted, on 15 October, three weeks before election day."

Trump 'compromising' claims: How and why did we get here? - BBC News


Which leads us back to the investigation that has been referred to many times here on GFY by me which right before the election Comey came out and said there was nothing to be found. https://www.nytimes.com/2016/11/01/u...ald-trump.html

The same stupid shit just keeps getting rehashed. I'm sure Trump is tired of it so he's striking back.
Those stories talk about the investigation that took place and, by now, most people who follow the news know about. Trump is accusing President Obama of wiretapping him. To me, that is different than what we have here. Of course, Trump could mean this investigation and not that Obama himself ordered he be wiretapped, but he isn't the best communicator so it could be confusing.
