GOP Lawmakers Press Spy Court For Answers About Ex-DOJ Official Picked To Monitor FBI Reforms

[Daily Caller] Two leading Republican lawmakers pressed the judge presiding over the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court (FISC) on Thursday to explain his choice of former Justice Department official David Kris to monitor the FBI’s proposed reforms in response to an inspector general’s report regarding surveillance of a Trump campaign adviser.

"If the FISC’s goal is to hold the FBI accountable for its serious misconduct, Mr. Kris does not appear to be an objective ‐ or likely effective ‐ amicus curiae for several reasons," Rep. Jim Jordan and Mark Meadows wrote to Judge James Boasberg, who presides over the FISC, in a letter obtained by the Daily Caller News Foundation.

"At minimum, the selection of Mr. Kris creates a perception that he is too personally invested on the side of the FBI to ensure it effectuates meaningful reform."

The Republicans cited Kris’s commentary during the heat of the Trump-Russia investigation defending the FBI’s surveillance of Carter Page, a Trump campaign adviser. (RELATED: Ex-DOJ Official Picked To Oversee FBI Reforms Was Ardent Defender Of Carter Page Surveillance)

Kris criticized Republicans who accused the FBI of submitting misleading information to the FISC in order to wiretap Page. Kris asserted that the bureau would not have misled the FISC in order to obtain surveillance warrants.

What gave you a clue Sherlock? Someone who is disinterested is not involved in a particular situation or not likely to benefit from it and is therefore able to act in a fair and unselfish way. Major, clear, unequivocal fail here.

#3 If the FISA system can't be reformed, then maybe it should be done away with.

#4 Another damned appointment:
The Army Times named a 28-year-old who has been vocal about hating President Donald Trump as its top editor Jan. 10. Sarah Sicard previously worked as a spokeswoman for a New York councilman who describes himself as a “moderate Democrat.” The Army Times is one of the oldest and largest papers catering to the military, which according to the publication’s own polling is overwhelmingly conservative.
