FISA abuse has been happening for years. They just decided to attack an opposition candidate and duly elected POTUS now. We must root out this evil or we must prepare to live under an oppressive government. Accountability requires punishment for unlawful actions.

[subterfuge]

Sure! Everybody abuses FISA warrants! No big deal.

[reed13k]

...but since it was under Obama (who we like) that was fine and this is just the Trumpster and all those fly-over deplorables whining because they don’t like being watched by us...I mean them... it’s for the safety of us all...

What doya think - could I pass for a NYT editor?

NYT wrote those articles when it happened but never followed up or pressured about what actions were being taken place because “THEIR PEOPLE” were in charge... let’s see how fast they spin that dime now..

[subterfuge]

Hey democratics. Who are you planning to run for office in 2020? The Republicans need to know so they can spy on them and lay out a plan to frame them for crimes they didn’t commit.

Tit for tat, bitches supporting bitches!

[plain talk]

FISA abuse has been happening for years.

Really? Maybe. Maybe not. I am not sure if that is true or not without facts. What we do know is there was FISA abuse as described by the Nunes memo. What I want to see now is action taken.

The real headline is:

Our Law and Order Firewall is Made of Crate Paper.

Something else to keep in mind: presumably their Elliot Ness’s did everything but give candidate Trump a prostate exam.
If they had found anything substantive you can be sure it would have been trumpeted across the alphabet news and by Her Heinous.
From what I remember, all we heard about are his complicated taxes, and I imagine most billionaires don’t short form, and his appreciation of the fair sex, and what red blooded American male doesn’t?
So all that trouble and law breaking and they shot blanks.

They have to be punished. They have broken one window after another with impunity and practically dared federal LEOs to do something about it. LEOs, you know: the Effa Bee Eye?

Perhaps we the people should form our own secret court. Star chamber?

If W eventually gets caught up in this, I can’t say I’d shed too many tears.

Read the "Key Points" that were released with the memo.

It states: "The Memo does NOT undermine FISA Section 702: It has nothing to do with Section 702, which targets foreigners located overseas."

Exactly! The FISC Court Order redacted and published by DNI Coats last year was about 702 abuses; the issues of Carter Page, etc., are critical but tangential. The fundamental questions remain in these regards. These matters involving illegal surveillance, obstruction of justice, destruction of evidence, etc., etc., etc., are what surrounds the underlying criminal activity that those things were employed.

The "Key Points" also says:

"In a last ditch effort to block publication of the HPSCI memo, Ranking Member Schiff issued a press release complaining about minor edits the Committee made to the memo.
The edits, implemented before HPSCI voted to make the memo public, included routine, minor technical changes and edits suggested by the FBI and by the Committee Minority themselves, respectively."

It seems the only sources & methods exposed by the memo are the sources & methods employed by the Democrats + IC + corrupt media.

Most people don't know the details of these things ... while there are numerous revelations in the memo, such as WHO IS the "named U.S. Person" for whom Steele was working? McCain? His confidant? Hillary? Obama?

Meanwhile Mueller's case has imploded ... or it's right on schedule. I still can't figure out if he's deep state stooge or leading massive sting? I'm still inclined to believe the latter, particularly with Flynn sentencing delay + Red Cross Counsel resigning yesterday ...

Trump is master showman and master study - this reminds me of Penn & Teller

TBD ;)

Give a beaurocrat an inch they will abuse it to the max. They can’t even stop at the 1 mile marker. FISA should have been shutdown in 2011. Oh, wait, who was Pres., who was Sec of State? Never mind.

Time for real judges to do their duty and order charges brought against the people who lied to the court. Arrest now, their names are a matter of record. Stuff and cuff, the songbirds will sing.

Even our maximum security prisoners love their country and support the military. They did wrong and are being punished, freely admitting this they still love America and hope to be free one day to return to a life as a freeworlder. Put these traitors in the general population at the max closest to them, won’t take long for them to start talking.

This is a great opportunity, as we know. In the past those like this judge, and the IGs who tried to expose the corruption were suppressed. Now our government should be giving green lights to all of these investigations. My God, it’s hard to remember now how crushed, as a White Male, I felt by the life enforced on me by the foreign (Marxist) junta that ruled us for 8 years. Except I still feel pretty crushed. I’m not the man I was before the catastrophe. I pray God that I may be renewed.

BTW, if I get to live long enough to see this corrupt revolution falter and fail, it will be worth it to have lived through it. I just feel bad for our comrades who fell when it looked like there was no hope.

I’ve long thought that the US and the Russian and Eastern European people have been suffering under our own brands of political, largely Marxist domination. Russia (Soviet Union) cratered in 1990. I’ve wondered, what will be OUR crash, to get rid of the Marxist parasite? US and Russia are locked in an historical dance. We should be better friends with them.

I have absolutely NO proof, but I believe that the 2012 Presidential Election against Romney was a trial run for 2016.

FISA abuse has been happening for years.

I read somewhere that the FISA court hasn't rejected a single warrant presented to it.

If true, that's certainly abuse!

[cazmandeuce]

It’s all to make us safer, don’t ya know.....

[Nifster]

Precisely

[mrsmith]

Clinton perjury defense redux LOL!
“Everybody does it!”

Next they’ll be saying “It’s only about sex!”

[TBP]

And yet we just renewed and extended FISA wiretap powers.
