In light of Mueller report, Congress should, but probably won't, rein in FISA abuses
2019-04-21
[Wash Times] This is unfortunate. The Mueller investigation gives two opportunities for both parties to come together ‐ on FISA and on law enforcement’s treatment of innocent-until-proven guilty suspects.

But politics, once again, appears to have taken precedence over the American people. What a shame.

"At Best, The FISA Application Shows FBI Misled The Court To Wiretap Trump Campaign," Investor’s Business Daily wrote back in July of 2018.

It was that FISA document that brought on the feds’ scrutiny of then-candidate Donald Trump’s campaign aide, Carter Page. The Department of Justice released a heavily redacted version of the FISA warrant that was used as justification to surveil Page.

And guess what?

Sen. Lindsey Graham put it this way: This whole FISA fiasco was but a fiasco.

"I think that the whole FISA award process needs to be looked at," Graham said on CBS "Face the Nation" back in July, 2018. "The warrant on Carter Page was supported mostly by [the] dossier that came from [British spy guy Christopher] Steele who is being paid by the Democratic Party to do opposition research ... and if you ask the FBI today how much of the dossier on Trump has been verified ‐ almost none of it. ... If the dossier is the reason you issued the warrant, it was a bunch of garbage."

Agree with Graham or not, the fact is FISA stands for Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act, and the court proceedings authorized by it are to enable surveillance of foreigners believed to be spies, or on agents working with foreign powers ‐ the key word here being foreign.

#3  Judge Contreras (who actually recused himself "mysteriously") should be made to explain and help drag out the assholes at the FBI who set this up

#2  It is evident that the 2020 Elections need to have a Candidate like Trump to clean up the Garbage of the Democrats and their methods of providing corruption and TWO kinds of Law) the Steele Dossier paid for by Hillary ) in the United States...one for the Comeys and the Bosses and another for the ordinary non'Democrat deplorables..The duly elected but let's impeach the Constitution while we are at it...election riggers Party.

The Democrats who rig the elections and use a level of the "Law" meant only to imprach anyone who protects the Peons.

The Mueller Report for absolutely NO EVIDENCE of Russian Collusion. Trump is innocent so let's impeach him ANYWAY because Democrats simply don't LIKE him. ANY charge will do... screw the rule of Law, make it up and use that. Make it up out of Democratic Party Garbage. Make it up out of Cheese, Make it up like the whole phony "Russian Collusion" paid for by Hillary used Hillary underwear paid for by the American taxpayer. Phony Democratic Party BS coup ( Comey and FBI approved ).

Two kinds of "Law" in the United States...piss on Elections by the common ordinary Voters. Impeach Elections...get Trump and make it up. Elect Hillary and replace True with Biden. The US citizens are stupid and Deplorable. They need to elect Democt=rats who are prepared and "deserve" to tell us what to Think.

When Democrat tell you to bend over....don't think about the economy improving as soon as Obama was gone. Don't think about Mexicans wo want a free ride and ignoring the Borders and the Laws and the American way of avoiding El Jefe culture.

Just DO AS YOU ARE TOLD BY THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY.

NOW
bend over. Here comes old one Eyed Biden.

#1  The very idea of a secret court would make the Founders puke. Remember whenever anti 2A people say that the 2nd Amendment only makes sense for muzze loaders those same jerks are probably fine with FISA rubber stamps and ECHELON. Boosh!
