...and still no public response from the fabulous Chief Justice Dread Pirate Roberts who oversees the FISA Court.

In a rare public order Tuesday, the chief judge of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court [FISC] strongly criticized the FBI over its surveillance-application process, giving the bureau until Jan. 10 to come up with solutions, in the wake of findings from Justice Department Inspector General Michael E. Horowitz.
The order, from the court's presiding judge Rosemary M. Collyer, came just a week after the release of Horowitz's withering report about the wiretapping of former Trump campaign adviser Carter Page, as part of former Special Counsel Robert Mueller's investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election.
"The FBI's handling of the Carter Page applications, as portrayed in the [Office of Inspector General] report, was antithetical to the heightened duty of candor described above," Collyer wrote in her four-page order. "The frequency with which representations made by FBI personnel turned out to be unsupported or contradicted by information in their possession, and with which they withheld information detrimental to their case, calls into question whether information contained in other FBI applications is reliable."

That'll show 'em.
Wag that finger man!!!!
I think what they are trying to say is...
“FBI agents should invite us to more parties.”
“Come up with solutions...”
Yeah, I’d like to ask the local drug dealers to come up with solutions that will deter them from breaking the law...
A bench warrant and U.S. Marshals arresting all the signatories to the applications would be a starting solution.
Certainly it doesn’t include firing all people mentioned and involved. Although that would be a good first step.
More here than meets the eye. This about as strongly worded that it gets before evidence and argument gets presented to the court. The ticking times bomb is the reference to other cases. When cops are shown to be dirty there can be efforts to reopen other cases. This is potentially a massive problem for the FBI/ DOJ
Solutions = dog whistle green light to increase your funding for an agency.
honestly, criminal charges would go a long way to ensure compliance in the future
Well said.
Arrests would be a good starting, process sustaining, and preventative, solution.
You can’t falsify FISA warrant applications if you are in prison.
Hey it worked for Lindsey Graham.
“Surrender or I will talk at you again”
The answer disappears into the same black hole that is FISC.
The government lies for a living, so does FISC.
Agreed. It would remind that there is justice.
Oh, wow! The horse is out. Close the barn door!
How about arresting, trying, convicting, and punishing the guilty?! That’s what a real judge would do.
...and still no public response from the fabulous Chief Justice Dread Pirate Roberts who oversees the FISA Court.
FISA is a sham, likely unconstitutional hindrance on executibve, and ironically, also enables crap like this wehre FBI can perform a felony snoop then get a legal defense from the court.
Shut it down.
That’s a big event! VERY unusual.
