FBI Deception from 2016 CERT FISA Memo Opinion Order April 2017
SCRIBD ^ | Feb 9, 2018 | FR Exclusive by 11th_VA

Posted on 02/09/2018 12:07:41 PM PST by 11th_VA

In this 99 page document that was used as the basis of the Nunes memo, interesting finding on page 87:

The improper access granted to the ______ contractors was apparently in place ________________ and seems to have been the result of deliberate decision making. Despite the existence of an interagency memorandum of understanding (presumably reviewed by FBI Lawyers), no notice of this practice was given to the FISC until 2016.

Means that the FBI and another agency (State? CIA?) shared the information. The FBI lawyers approved it and knew about it and didn’t tell the FISA court. Violated the rule of minimizing the chances of abuse of the info.

Who were the “contractors”? Fusion GPS? Doesn’t say.

Agree. Difficult to understand the ‘spy-speak / legalese’!

So they didnt follow proper procedure, as outlined in the interoffice memo, in regards to how we dont lie to the FISC, and they didnt even let the court know about it for almost a year?

It's not obvious, huh ???

I'm thinking of writing an article on the whole document. Going through the 99 page document, several violations of law by the FBI/NSA are cited dealing with the way information gathered via FISA warrents were gathered, stored, and shared:

- Failure to Control Access to data (FBI employees not authorized received data):

- at NSA, people were searching the records, for unauthorized identifiers - they are ONLY allowed to search for the people in the FISA warrant, but they were searching for other people (Trump ? Kelly ? - who knows):

From this document, it appears the FBI/NSA/etc gave excuses for the breaches of law (people didn't know they couldn't do that, equipment was down and they could destroy records, etc) - the court seems to go along with the excuses most of the time.

But the record that caught my attention was the one I posted here, where a separate contractor was given access to the FISA data: and the Court was concerned about the " FBI's apparent disregard of ... rules ... "and whether the FBI may be engaging in similar disclosures":

They then go on to say:

1) The FBI was granting access to recordings to a (redacted - undisclosed) "contractor" ... [Fusion GPS ???]

2) This disclosure was a result of "deliberate decision making"

3) The illegal disclosure of recordings was "based on a memo of understanding" the "FBI lawyers reviewed""this practice" to the courts til 2016.

Take Away The courts believe a lot of nefarious stuff regarding the unauthorized disclosure of FISA recordings were going on, and the Department memos seem to indicate people at the top, knew about it ...

Talking about Steele and FusionGPS having access to “Queries”. The ability to use FBI databases to “Warrantlessly access info e-mail grabs-phone records.

Conservative Treehouse as all the info you can want.
