Have the objectors above read the whole article? There ' a lot there to go on.

The discovery of the Trump Tower private Russian server, however, communicating with Alfa Bank, changed matters, sources report.

.... The fact that the alleged warrant was a FISA warrant is itself significant. The court exists to grant warrants to examine cases concerned with Foreign Intelligence.

... On October 9th, the Trump campaign released a large number of documents pointing out what they alleged were Hillary Clinton’s ties to Russia. On October 12th, rumors of a FISA warrant started to surface online. Donald Trump’s campaign had not answered requests for comment on the matter at time of going to press. ..........

It is a report of a FISA warrant confirmed by intelligence source, reported by a news journalist Coyotl Nov 2016 #23

For this kind of info some official name needs to be on it, not just some "source" this is no joke uponit7771 Nov 2016 #30

By that standard, every "government official stated" report in news would be buried. Deep Throat? Coyotl Nov 2016 #33

Not every report carries the weight this one does, tangible ties to Russia would be investigations uponit7771 Nov 2016 #51

It looks like fake news to me, djg21 Dec 2016 #70
