Things that make you go hmm.

Kill FISA before it kills us.

[rigelkentaurus]

Come on Johnson. This is not even a hard decision. Warrantless spying on US citizens needs to end in all shapes and forms. Not only does it need to end, but there needs to be tough personal liability for each spying event - say 10 years minimum in prison and $1m fine minimum - for each person involved in performing, requesting, authorizing, using such data.

[blackdog]

At least be honest. Call it “DISA”.

[cotton1706]

They (the oligarchs who whispered in Johnson’s ears) don’t want section 702 changed at all.

So it’ll be renewed “temporarily” in the “must pass” NDAA until April, and then be renewed again, etc.

It should be allowed to expire at the end of the month. That is the only thing that will bring REAL pressure for reform.

But the oligarchs can’t have that.

The headline is silly.

The SOTH is not a king or emperor. He answers to the House members, so anything he does in terms of getting bills on the floor is largely a reflection of what Congress -- especially in his own party caucus -- is looking to pass.

[blackdog]

I always found this odd....If FISA activity is going on, why at all is the FBI involved? That’s the CIA’s responsibility.

[curious7]

I say keep ‘blundering’ until the end of the year. Let it expire. Don’t try to ‘improve’ it. It needs to go away. Government bureaucrats have proven they can’t be trusted with that authority.

[dware]

The ONLY conversation or action Johnson needs in this case is to end the FISA court. Anything less is a direct attack on Americans.

[bobbo666]

Oh, deary, deary me. Could it be that like with the DeSantis campaign there are moles in his group, too? Moles that sabotage whenever they get the chance?

This is not incompetence. It is malice.

If you doubt that, do you still doubt that the WuhanFlu was made in a lab? Do you still think Russia did ally with DJTrump?
Is water wet in your world?

FTA:... he is “either unwilling, unable, or disinterested in making big decisions:”

“disinterested” ? Someone needs a dictionary.

[FormerFRLurker]

So another Deep State agent then?

[Major Matt Mason]

This is a no-brainer after the Russia BS. The government has proven that it can't be trusted when it comes to FISA (and many other things, but I digress), so it should be ended. The case should be really easy to make to the American people, even some dopey Democrats would go along with ending FISA.

[usurper]

The House would use a parliamentary procedure known as “Queen of the Hill,” wherein whichever bill gets the most votes would become the bill that gets sent to the Senate for consideration.

As I understand it since he pulled both bills there is currently no bill supporting reauthorization of FISA and it will expire.

Why is this not a good thing? What am I missing?

[Georgia Girl 2]

What’s tough about killing FISA? Just do it.

[LS]

Blunder? Pulling the bills means he and the GOP in Congress listened to their constituents. I see no blunder.

[DPMD]

BOHICA Johnson.
