“It depends on the circumstances,” Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein testified Thursday when asked if he reads every FISA application he signs authoring the government to spy on its citizens.
Rosenstein testified in a House hearing on potential abuses by the Justice Department (DOJ) and Federal Bureau of Investigation regarding its investigation of President Donald Trump and potential Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election.
When former judge Rep. Louie Gohmert (R-Texas) asked Rosenstein about the FISA warrant he signed, Rosenstein looked to FBI Director Wray for the answer – a move that disturbed Gohmert.
Rosenstein eventually admitted that he signed the warrant to spy on Page. But, he told Gohmert that he doesn’t need to read every FISA warrant he signs, that he merely need to understand what’s in it.

Maybe someone can explain to me how you know whats in it, if you don’t read it.
Let’s see what the form says right above the signature line
Amazing. I mean simply amazing.
I think there is something deeply going on here. Trump knows, Sessions knows.
I think all roads point to Obama and it’s just a matter of time that it will come out.
I really don’t understand why these guys Wray and Rosenstein aren’t angry as every one else on this.
He was briefed by his staff that this warrant allows them to spy on Trump and look for dirt to shoot him down. Insurance policy.
“It depends on the circumstances,”
Okay. How about warrants targeting the political opponents of a sitting administration?
You have to pass the bill, to know what's in it.
You have to sign the FISA warrant, to know what's in it.
It's the Nazi Pelousy principle.
“I really don’t understand why these guys Wray and Rosenstein aren’t angry as every one else on this.”
They’re either in on it or have had their lives threatened.
Rod you are a real piece of work!
Signing a surveillance warrant without knowing (and consenting to) all the pertinent details contained therein should be a felony. At the very least it should be a fire-able offense.
Trump should can him and have federal marshalls take possession of all of his government equipment.
An engineer signing off on a defective bridge would find themselves flipping burgers or worse. This clown needs to be shit-canned asap.
gross negligente, contributor to fraud, overall responsible for the application. This guy is 9 months late for prison
“””But, he told Gohmert that he doesn’t need to read every FISA warrant he signs, that he merely need to understand what’s in it.”””
Correct me if I am wrong, but by the time Rosenstein signed the FISA warrant to spy on Trump, this action was already known to be a controversial issue. Isn’t that true?
So would not a prudent manager ask the subordinates, who put the FISA warrant on his desk, some very tough questions as well as read the warrant?
If Roddy is too lazy to read it, we don’t need Roddy.
You don’t understand Democrat Leftists then..................
You don’t want to read it when you know it’s rotten in it.
LOVE IT!!!
