How is that Patriot Act working out for you, America?

“Mistakes were made.”

But no prosecutions, other than one lawyer who deleted the word “not” in a FISA application. And his ultimate punishment was “time served,” or he was suspended for the length of time he was on suspension anyway during the investigation. He did not lose his job, he did not lose his law license, and he did not go to jail or pay any fines.

So who gives a rip what the I.G. finds when there are no consequences?

What it means is that they got away with doing this to Trump. HA HA! But don’t even THINK about abusing FISA with Biden!

Maybe if Americans ever return to power in DC, that court and its functions will be dismantled.

They were not mistakes... They were falsified submissions... they should be fired and facing jail time.

But laws are only for the little people and not the political establishment...

How does the FBI say, “screw you.”

“Trust me.”

That's the way I see it too. They'll be good little bastards now, but if Trump should win, they'll start up the nonsense all over without skipping a beat.

Comey simply replied that “whoever is signing the affidavit” is responsible and that he only signed the certification.

So, what is the purpose of signing the certification? Doesn't the certification 'certify' the veracity of the documentation? If not, it has no meaning.

Comey must think we're all idiots to fall for this.

When asked by Sen. Lindsey Graham “whose job is it to make sure the facts are right when you’re presenting to the FISA court?” Comey simply replied that “whoever is signing the affidavit” is responsible and that he only signed the certification.

Definition of Certify

"to attest as being true or as represented or as meeting a standard"

He put his name to the document stating that it was true and met the standard of proof as required by the FISA Court.

He is responsible.

Normally if you lie to a judge they don't like it and get really angry and hold you accountable and punish you for it.

FISA judges accepted the lies so I can only conclude that they are actively conspiring with the liars.

They have a Marine Lt. Colonel in the brig because he voiced criticism of the handling of the Afghan withdrawal. People are being held in solitary confinement over minor charges in D.C. because of their protests on Jan 6. The people who committed the FISA abuses should be doing multiple prison terms. The heavy hand of fascism is very selective on who it crushes.

Wray has utter;y failed to clean up the excesses of the FBI and for that reason alone (there are other reasons) Wray must be fired, immediately!

“...FISA judges accepted the lies...”

Right! I have felt all along that since the FISA judges knew they were being fed false data by the FBI agents and took no corrective action, they must be part of the conspiracy to overthrow the president of the United States.
