Russiagate was about finding excuses to surveil people.

You're confused, or most likely deliberately overstating to get a response - but that was the Patriot Act enacted after 9-11. There was a discussion about whether to go after the "thin thread" or use a vacuum cleaner and just suck everything up. I have yet to see a MAGA questioning the Patriot Act - but they get upset about the FISA warrants. We could have told you that any process that isn't reviewed breaks down and get very sloppy.

No Russiagate wasn't a vacuum, it was narrowly tailored to just those with a good probability of yielding findings, even narrower than the "thin thread" discussion from the Patriot Act.
