We are already seeing some of the disinformation as the Trump adminisration moves to take control of the NSA & US intelligence gathering apparatus, the IC (Intelligence Community). Getting rid of Flynn, a prodigal child of the IC, was a first step.
FISA authority taps persons, not devices and locations. When Trump and Republicans refer to 'Trump Tower' being tapped, this is a bow to the IC's cover that legal wiretaps are put on locations and devices, not targeted individuals irrespective of their location or which device the surveillance is collected from.

- The PATRIOT Act had roving wiretap provisions. If a FISA warrant issued for (say Flynn) it would cover him whether he was at Trump Tower, on Capitol Hill, or his own residence. JDano (talk) 13:08, 10 March 2017 (EST)
- Exactly. If Flynn asked you to borrow your cell phone for a minute to make a call, your cell phone was legally wiretapped (whivh Smowden, Ellsberg, and Sanders refer to as 4th Amendment violations). RobSCIA vs Trump. Who's gonna win? 13:10, 10 March 2017 (EST)
