[JURIST] The Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court (FISC) released two [Goodlatte, PDF] letters [Nunes, PDF] on Thursday stating that it would consider requests from two Congressional Representatives to release the hearing transcripts which caused former Trump advisor Carter Page to be put under surveillance.
Representative Bob Goodlatte (R-VA) wrote to the FISC in January requesting the transcripts, and Representative Devin Nunes (R-CA) [official websites] sent a second letter at the beginning of February.
Judge Rosemary Collyer wrote in her response that "the Court has never previously received a request from Congress for the contents of any specific FISA application or order, nor has the Court provided any to Congress." The judge says that this request will "present novel and significant questions." She added that she has no objection to the Executive Branch releasing the transcripts.
At the beginning of February, Nunes, Chairman of the House Intelligence Committee, released [JURIST report] a memo claiming that the FBI overstepped its surveillance authority while investigating Russian involvement in the 2016 election. The memo alleges that Carter Page was unreasonably targeted. In January the Senate voted [JURIST report] to extend a warrantless surveillance program like 2023. In May, it was revealed that the NSA collected citizens' phone records despite the USA Freedom Act.
They should release everything if for no other reason than to show they aren’t a bunch of dunces willing to give the FBI surveillance warrants on request. The FIB duped them.
This Court is not SCOTUS and is therefore subservient
BUT is seditious and in CYA mode, as it protects
its criminal behavior for Iran, NK, and the DNC.
IMPEACH.
Did you transpose FIB or did you really mean FIB?
In the past I have had great respect for them and hope this swamp can be drained and the FBI's reputation restored.
Someone (Mel Gibson) should make a movie about all of this....
I wouldn’t go, do not want to relive this crap.
Fox has a special on Bubba Clintons problems.
Won’t watch it either. Been there, done that.
What has been seen cannot be unseen.
Headline November 5th, 2020
FISA court rejects request to see the Carter Page FISA request documents.
Nothing further...
Although the hearing info is of interest, of greater interest are the chain surveillances conducted down stream from Carter Page.
Who else was surveilled as a result of the permission to surveil Carter Page?
The judge doesn’t want to get involved in this. I can’t blame her. She basically said, “I won’t object if you can wake that boob Sessions up and have him release it”.
Fox has a special on Bubba Clintons problems.
We thought the same thing as been there done that, BUT you should watch it, as the details are amazing. And low and behold, same old names keep popping up, like Ken Starr, Vernon Jordan, etc. wow... fascinating.
Can’t believe the amount of effort FOX has put into this series. Amazing, I tell ya.
Spot on. It will take hearings, letters, tricks and treats,
voodoo, Congressional blue slips, Blue Ribbon Panels, Favt Finding Hearings, etc... to ever get a decision to release.
In an effort to improve their image, Wray will step down and Inspector Clouseau will be the new head of FIB.
Big improvement.
I can’t watch it either . Especially knowing that they got away with it all and prospered beyond most people’s dreams.
“””””Did you transpose FIB or did you really mean FIB?””””
You meant FBM Federal Bureau of Matters.
“We need a chart without permanent ink to see all that is going on.”
As long as it’s not Glen Beck with his whiteboard again!
Yes, unfortunately you’re right on target.
Hey, she may surprise us.
Her dragging her feet is unconscionable in this case > IMO.
I hope they release the information
