Following demands by President Donald Trump for the Justice Department to investigate his claim that his campaign had been "infiltrated or surveilled" by the FBI, the agency on Monday directed the Inspector General to probe those accusations.

Why does everyone assume that Trump wasn’t already under surveillance far before the election?
It seems completely counter intuitive to anyone that knows the slightest bit about our intelligence agencies and how they work.
