Obama's secret wiretap of Trump campaign not known to Director of National Intelligence

Earlier this week CNN reported what radio talk show host (and former Justice Department official) Mark Levin revealed in March, that secret FISA court orders had been implemented during the Obama Administration to wire tap Paul Manafort. Mediaite then pointed out that the former Director of National Intelligence under President Obama, James Clapper, had unequivocally denied the existence of any such FISA wiretap during an interview on Meet the Press....
...
Obviously, Mr. Clapper had some explaining to do. Last night on CNN, he had the opportunity to do just that in an exchange with Don Lemon....
...
Clapper said he was unaware of the wire tap.  So, who besides the FBI was aware of it.  Did Obama ask the FBI to get the warrant?  Will the media be asking Obama that question anytime soon?

The Federalists has 13 questions about the wire taps.  Eli Lake discusses the unmasking operation that appears to have coincided with the wire taps.  True Pundit takes a look at the agencies who may have been involved in the clandestine operation against a political opponents of Obama and Clinton.

There is a lot to dig into here.  Will the Congress be able to do it or should a special prosecutor be appointed to deal with the the domestic spying by the Obama administration?
