Many people do not realize it but the President can order the FBI, DOJ or the CIA to investigate anything he wants them to.
He is the undisputed boss of the Executive branch. President Trump said today that he plans on exercising that right. His direct orders will be to investigate the Obama administrations role in planting the spy. The Deep State can continue to stonewall the documents because they are classified. Oh, wait, the president can declassify any document he wants declassified and if Sessions dogs it, you can bet the House will be doing their own investigation with total access to evidence. I’ve wondered why President Trump had not done this before.
President Donald Trump tweeted Sunday afternoon he is ordering the Justice Department to investigate whether the Obama administration spied on his 2016 presidential campaign. The order comes on the heels of leaks to the New York Times and Washington Post that the Obama administration had an “informant” make several approaches to three Trump campaign officials, included one that involved an offer of cash and another an offer to “advise” the campaign.
“I hereby demand, and will do so officially tomorrow, that the Department of Justice look into whether or not the FBI/DOJ infiltrated or surveilled the Trump Campaign for Political Purposes – and if any such demands or requests were made by people within the Obama Administration!”

This is monumental. Already the Democrats and media are crying bloody murder.
