Trump might be pissed off about it, but he hasn&#8217;t directed congress to curtail the powers of the FISA. SOOO, Trump could use his presidential powers just like Obama and he doesn&#8217;t want to loose that ability.

The announcement could put President Donald Trump on a collision course with Congress, where some Republicans and Democrats have advocated curtailing the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act, or FISA, parts of which are due to expire at the end of the year.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p class=\"excl\"><strong>What is my argument about this whole thing?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"excl\">Did Obama tap the phones?<\/p>\n<p class=\"excl\">WHO CARES, It doesn&#8217;t change anything.
