If The FBI's Contempt For The Law Is Not Reined In, Its Abuses Will Get Worse
2019-12-27
[The Federalist] In 2018, the U.S. government filed 1,117 final applications to the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act court for authority for the FBI to conduct electronic surveillance and physical searches. One application was withdrawn. One other was denied. The remaining 1,115 were granted.

Hours before the FISA court issued a December 17 order openly declaring that it could no longer trust any of the sworn statements the FBI had submitted to justify spying on Americans, The New York Times published an opinion article by William Webster, a former director of both the FBI and the CIA. Webster wrote, "Today, the integrity of the institutions that protect our civil order is, tragically, under assault from too many people whose job it should be to protect them."

Gone are the days The New York Times worked to expose government abuse of power. The New York Times now defends power from truth.

#6  Soros could speak to that issue BP. He has a history of going into foreign countries and creating chaos, sucking the blood out the country via corruption. Agree with you, it's not cool to go into a democratic country with duly elected officials. Ex. Obozo sent a team into Israel to try to rig their elections. Hope Durham and Barr are looking this evil old bastard. Not cool.

#5  >Trying to pull off coups in foreign countries might be OK

Not sure even there if it was already democratically elected.

#4  Trying to pull off coups in foreign countries might be OK for the intelligence community. It's not cool if its your own country.

Many in the U.S. are in denial or uninformed about the magnitude of what the spook wankers, Feebs, DOJ and State Dept tried to do.

#3  In that opinion, the FISA court accused the intelligence community of an "institutional lack of candor."

Translation: Their a bunch of lying bastards.
