When in June was the 1st FISA request supposed to be made?
I was thinking along the lines of this story, but remembered that Lynch’s meeting with BJ was at the end of June and the reporting is that the 1st FISA request was in June.
Illegal corruption aside, the fact they lost the election with deep state spies and surveillance against their opponents is just astonishingly pathetic.
Interesting question ... yeah ... Clinton meeting was last week of June ... I can’t find the date of the first FISA ... all the articles I find just say ‘back in June 2016” ... maybe someone else will answer / or already has ...
Somewhere I read June 16, 2016. I will go look for link.
Odd. I did not find the exact date, but I found this instead. I think date of the FISA request was June 16, 2016. The date of this action was June 15, 2016.
WASHINGTON, D.C. – The House of Representatives is set to debate and vote on a renewed effort to restrict warrantless surveillance. The amendment, offered to the Fiscal Year 2017 Department of Defense appropriations bill by Representatives Thomas Massie (R-KY) and Zoe Lofgren (D-CA), would prohibit warrantless backdoor searches of U.S. citizens’ online communications without first obtaining a warrant. It would also prevent the government from coercing individuals and companies to insert software or hardware vulnerabilities, also known as “encryption backdoors,” into products for surveillance purposes. The House of Representatives passed an identical amendment last year by an overwhelming 255-174 vote, and the year before by a veto-proof majority.
“By requiring a warrant to conduct surveillance on Americans, this amendment strikes the appropriate balance between national security and civil liberty and is a much needed next step as Congress continues to rein in the surveillance state and reassert the Fourth Amendment,” said Massie.
“This amendment is the most meaningful step Congress can take to end warrantless bulk collection of US persons' communications data, as well as protect that data from malicious hackers and bad actors,” said Lofgren. “The House has shown – by voting for the amendment by a large margin twice over the last two years – that it is committed to upholding the Constitution and protecting Americans from invasions of their privacy. With threats to America, we should not endanger the security of our digital environment by weakening encryption that protects everything from the power grid to air traffic control..."
It is very long.
Clinton may have been asked for advice when the first FISA request was denied so the dates would not matter. Dem Clinton’s know all about underhanded behavior.
Are you sure it wasn't July? I have so many tabs open pertaining to the subject it could take me hours to find mention of the initial FISA request (that was turned down).
The meeting between Billy Jeff (former IPOTUS) and Loretta (Get Back she's got back) Lynch at the airport in Phoenix was on a Monday, June 27 (2016).
The second "narrower" FISA court' request was made in October (if memory serves) and made at an Appeals court that had different judges than the court that had turned down prior request to tap Trump more directly. At the FISA appeals level the judges there were all 'Rat Party appointees who approved tapping in(?) to a particular computer server in Trump Tower. How much further that may have gone (beyond only a computer server alone) I have no idea.
