Newly declassified court documents indicate that the FBI failed to comply with the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) in targeting Americans while searching through NSA records during President Trump’s administration and after James Comey’s tenure as FBI director.
An October 2018 ruling from the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court (FISC) found that the FBI violated Section 702 by not keeping track of searches that pertained to “United States persons,” and that proposed changes were still not enough to comply with the law. That ruling was later affirmed on appeal in July 2019. The documents were declassified and released Tuesday.
FISA Section 702, which deals with targeting people outside the U.S. for gathering foreign intelligence information, places restrictions on gathering information when it comes to Americans or people located in the U.S.
“Because the FBI’s proposed procedures do not require it to keep records that ‘indicate whether terms are United States person query terms,’ the FISC held that these procedures do not comply with Section 702(f)(l)(B),” said the decision from the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court of Review (FISC-R), which heard the appeal.
The queries examined took place between 2017 and 2018, which would largely be during FBI director Chris Wray’s tenure and during the Trump presidency. The FBI did not immediately return a request for comment. …

I’m sure Sessions was aware and this is simply a part of an elaborate undercover plan to free Americans from political bondage.
To be buried with the rest of the crimes. I feel sorry for those well who will live over half their lives under the DEM’s regime. And make no mistake, they are winning most of the battles.
All we see are reports. What a sham.
Nothing will happen to those who belong to “The Club”
NOTHING!
What has this nation become?
Is it ‘Red Flag’ day everyday as long as CONgre$$ is in “session”.
The Stazi and Gestapo would be proud to hang their shingles there anytime.
Yes , we have foes we need to watch and such,, but really, like no knock warrants and thieves in the night, ya never know who’s coming thru the door next and why.
BTTT
“...the FBI failed to comply with the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) in targeting Americans”
More FAKE NEWS. The FBI CANNOT fail to comply with anything, only PEOPLE working for the FBI can fail to comply.
So who are they, what are they charged with, and when are their trials?
Indictments, arrest warrants, perp walks, no-bail, trials, convictions, sentencing, defense appeals, denial of appeals, public executions of sentences, patriotic celebrations.
My questions also.
Hmmm, and which group of people said this very thing would take place, and were scorned for it?
Conservatives
FISA court abuse against decent citizens, it was only a matter of time.
Don’t think for a second that they don’[t have records of EVERY Search and did them, they do. Since nobody has gone to jail yet, nobody will.
Secret federal police. There’s absolutely no way to prevent corruption.
There is little doubt founders would consider the rise of federal police state as the most obnoxious, pernicious and deadly threat to our republic.
Anyone that signs up for these agencies is a fascist, statist, communist or sadist. With respect to domestic crimes by U.S. citizens, these agencies should not be involved. Let state agencies under the state AG do it. That is best way to curb corruption.
Sessions sure dropped out of sight.
Bet Jeff is home walking streets in support of Judge Moore.
The government hasn’t even begun to violate us yet. DHS is going after ‘white supremacists’ next. They’ve got themselves a new war on terror.

You deserve the Nobel Prize for Mathematics, be sure to wear rubber gloves and a bio mask if you choose to accept it.
Every show in the CBS Tuesday lineup had some mention of white Supremacism in their weekly adventures. NCIS was one of the last to go. Some may not know that show is the most popular in the entire world.
Shut down the FBI and re-open with new staff.
Then move DC to the middle of a corn field in Kansas....yes, build the WH Congress house, Supreme Court and needed bureaucracy in KS. Make the buildings in DC museums.
KS will be better security for our elected representatives.
Too many eeyore defeatists on this thread for my taste.
