"If you’re a judge ... and you don’t do something about it? Congress needs to look into this!" Levin said. "I damn well expect federal judges serving as FISA court judges to make sure that [misconduct] wasn’t committed in front of them."
"I want to underscore something tonight, Sean," Levin told Hannity. "These federal judges sitting on this FISA court act like they have no role in this. They were abused. The court was abused. The court was misled. People should be held to account."
"We presented this judge with the evidence and filed it. Congress needs to find out now why these judges, even today, aren’t holding these people accountable!"
"It’s time to abolish the FISA court. It’s time to create a new, a counter-intelligence-related court. It should not consist of existing federal judges. They should be confirmed, not for life terms, for given terms. The FBI and the Justice Department, when they go into that court, should not be alone any more. There ought to be an office within the federal government that’s there to ensure that civil liberties are protected," Levin said.
"There are things we need to do with this court right now."
