Spying on Trump?

I want to address the situation of ‘spying’ on President Trump and/or his campaign staff by the ‘Obama administration”. We do know that there was one application for ‘surveillance’ which was denied, and that there was one ‘FISA’ warrant granted. So, in my opinion there was an effort to obtain a warrant which ‘overstepped’ what a judge thought allowable, and then there was actual surveillance granted. I have not heard anyone address the real question. Was Trump, or Trump’s organization, or Trump’s colleagues, identified specifically in the warrant which was granted? Even more interesting to me is the question, “What was the reason that the first warrant requested was denied?” In other words, was there an effort made to establish surveillance of Trump or his associates during the presidential campaign? In my opinion, there is a real possibility that the Obama administration really did try to set up a surveillance which would have been the type of action that a police state would do.

Secondly, in my opinion, there has been a total refusal to look at the elephant in the room. All of the ‘liberal’ media comments have noted that the ‘intelligence sources’ have been stating that there is no evidence that there was a surveillance effort against Trump during the presidential campaign. I want to ask the obvious question. Are these ‘intelligence sources’ holdovers from the Obama administration? In my opinion, almost every ‘Obama scandal’ was riddled with ‘lies from Obama administration officials’.  They either lied or stonewalled or delayed every investigation until the ‘scandal’ passed. So, I am asking the obvious question. If the so-called intelligence sources are holdovers from the Obama administration, and they may have even be complicit in the ‘surveillance’ effort, why should I have any faith in what they tell me?
