EXCERPT:
COMEY: “So no individual in the United States can direct electronic surveillance of anyone. It has to go through an application process, ask a judge, the judge can then make the order.”
SCHIFF: “So President Obama could not unilaterally order a wiretap of anyone?”
COMEY: “No president could.”
SCHIFF: “Mr. Trump also asserted in that tweet that he was — that the application or the president’s order was turned down by a court. Was there any request made by the FBI or Justice Department to wiretap Donald Trump turned down by a court?”
COMEY: “That’s one of those subjects I can’t comment on one way or another. Please don’t interpret that in any way other than I just can’t talk about anything that relates to the FISA process in an open setting.”
