FISA Court Review Order Leaves Out Key FBI Players Implicated In Horowitz Report
Fox News ^ | 12-24-2019 | Gregg Re

Posted on 12/24/2019 5:37:27 PM PST by blam

Earlier this month, the secretive Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court (FISC) ordered the FBI to re-verify all previous warrant applications involving the FBI attorney who falsified evidence against the former Trump campaign aide Carter Page. However, Fox News has learned the court did not order the FBI to double-check warrant applications involving other officials who made key omissions and errors in warrant applications as the bureau sought to surveil Page.

The FISC's failure to request a comprehensive evaluation of previous submissions has stunned court-watchers who have questioned whether enough is being done to deter future misconduct by the FBI. In the past, the FISC has gone so far as to prohibit some FBI agents from appearing before the court after finding impropriety.

In response to Justice Department Inspector General Michael Horowitz's long-awaited report into FBI surveillance abuses released earlier this month, FBI Director Christopher Wray has claimed that the agency "embraces the need for thoughtful, meaningful remedial action."(I'm surprised he didn't say 'tender') Congressional Republicans, however, remain unconvinced that the bureau will solve the problem on its own.

“The deceptive actions of a few high-ranking officials within the FBI and the Department of Justice have eroded public trust in our federal institutions,” Rep. Chris Stewart, R-Utah, stated earlier this month as he introduced a bill to reform the FISC in response to the Horowitz report. “They flattened internal guardrails, deceived the FISA court, and irreparably damaged the reputation of an innocent American.”

Horowitz found specific evidence of oversights and errors by several top FBI employees as they sought to obtain a warrant to surveil Page under the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA).

The vast majority of FBI personnel are true patriots who strive to uphold the highest ideals of the USA with justice and honor. We know this is true because they invariably tell you all about it, loudly and within five minutes of meeting them.

Lindsay Graham has stated that he will question everyone who signed the warrants. I hope he does and inform the FISCAL that their “assurances” are not enough and their powers will be stripped where necessary.

If the conduct of the FISC judges isn't being reviewed they'll be missing key players in the coup.

Levin presented Judge Collyer with a legal filing about taking action on the fraud presented to her court. She responded with lies.

The FBI has a budget of $10 billion per year or so and 35,000+ employees they deign to acknowledge to their inferiors. Trump only wanted $8 billion or so for the wall, and that was once with some maintenance after.

MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL THE PATRIOTS IN OUR ORBIT AND THOSE WE HAVE YET TO MEET. BE SAFE IN 2020.
And pray for President Trump’s safety. The left’s first two techniques for dealing with opposition - ignore & discredit - have failed.  The third - ELIMINATE - may be in play soon!
And a 2 minute video reflecting on the current state of the Republic we call America.
God bless.
