Trump to meet top Justice, intelligence leaders -official
Reuters, May 21, 2018

WASHINGTON, May 21 (Reuters) - U.S. President Donald Trump will meet on Monday with Justice Department and intelligence officials to discuss his order to look into whether his 2016 presidential campaign was infiltrated or surveilled under the Obama administration, a White House official told Reuters.
 
Trump will meet at 3 p.m. (1900 GMT) with Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein, FBI Director Christopher Wray and Director of National Intelligence Dan Coats, the official said.

On Sunday, he asked the Justice Department to look into the allegations. Hours later, a spokeswoman said the department said it had asked the Inspector General to expand a review of the process for requesting surveillance warrants to include determining whether there was impropriety or political motivation in how the FBI conducted its investigation.

"If anyone did infiltrate or surveil participants in a presidential campaign for inappropriate purposes, we need to know about it and take appropriate action," Rosenstein said in a statement on Sunday evening.

I don't think there's any question the party in power used federal law enforcement and intelligence agencies to spy on the opposition party's candidate and that they abused the court system to get warrants to do so. This is the behavior of banana republic's. If this isn't going to happen again we need to see people going to jail.
