In the abstract this isn't about partisan politics but rather the degree to which we are willing to give up our rights to privacy and allowing surveillance of American citizens that pose negligible national security risks.
No I don't agree, I think if the FBI has probable cause and they can demonstrate it to a judge, then they should be able to get a FISA warrant. Why do you think it has to be more difficult than that? This idea that this is a flawed process is being put forward by certain people in order to try and discredit the Russia investigation and to try and give Trump grounds to fire Mueller.
