The following is an expanded version of that case, including events that Levin did not mention specifically but are important to the overall timeline.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong>1. June 2016: FISA request.<\/strong>\u00a0The Obama administration\u00a0<a class=\" x5l\" href=\"http:\/\/heatst.com\/world\/exclusive-fbi-granted-fisa-warrant-covering-trump-camps-ties-to-russia\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">files a request<\/a>\u00a0with the\u00a0Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court (FISA) to monitor communications involving Donald Trump and several advisers. The request, uncharacteristically, is denied.<\/p>\n<p><strong>2. July: Russia joke<\/strong>. Wikileaks releases emails from the Democratic National Committee that show an effort to prevent Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) from winning the presidential nomination. In a press conference, Donald Trump refers to Hillary Clinton\u2019s own missing emails,\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.breitbart.com\/video\/2016\/07\/27\/trump-russia-if-youre-listening-i-hope-youre-able-to-find-the-30000-emails-that-are-missing\/\">joking<\/a>: \u201cRussia, if you\u2019re listening, I hope you\u2019re able to find the 30,000 e-mails that are missing.\u201d That remark becomes the basis for accusations by Clinton and the media that Trump invited further hacking.<\/p>\n<p><strong>3. October: Podesta emails.<\/strong>\u00a0In October,\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.breitbart.com\/wikileaks\/\">Wikileaks releases<\/a>\u00a0the emails of Clinton campaign chair John Podesta, rolling out batches every day until the election, creating new mini-scandals.
