Texas Rep. on Democrats’ FISA abuse: ‘Somebody’s got to go to jail or our system is over’
BizPac Review ^ | February 11, 2018 | Kyle Becker

Texas Rep. Louis Gohmert appeared on Judge Jeanine Pirro’s show on Fox News to discuss the fallout of the FISA memos, which brought to light potential abuse of government surveillance to spy on the Trump campaign.

“You and I believe in due process,” Gohmert said. “We would never send somebody to jail without due process, but one thing — and this is a good segue, I think — when a lawyer provides something to the court that is not true, and especially to a FISA secret court where there is nobody there for the other side. The other said — I know you know.”

“I found out as a felony judge,” he continued. “When I put one lawyer in jail for contempt, people get the message. You don’t come in and misrepresent. You do what is appropriate in court. I’m shocked, really shocked, that no FISA judge put anybody in jail yet. Yet we have found total disregard for propriety before the FISA court. And somebody should have been in jail over the improprieties submitted in court.”

Trey Gowdy is a pet Yorkie. He barks a lot, but never follows through with a bite.

You’re right. Every day that passes in which a FISA judge doesn’t jail those who LIED to him, is further proof of a politicized, corrupted system of justice.

2018 is the last chance for the sorry remains our republic.
