At the time Donald Trump announced his candidacy, Deputy Attorney General [[Sally Yates]] barred Inspector General oversight of the Department of Justice-National Security Division (DOJ-NSD). By late 2015, the DOJ-NSD, FBi, and their contactors were performing thousands of [[illegal]] FISA 702 search queries on Hillary Clinton's opponents.

Unlike FISA Title I and Title III, a warrant is not needed to perform a FISA Section 702 search query; Section 702 however is not ever to be used to target US citizens (US persons). The Obama administration however, violated the law and targeted American citizens who were opponents of Hillary Clinton. The operator simply inserted search parameters - name, year of birth, phone number, email address for instance - into a search engine box. The query returns extensive electronic communications data.
