FISA court slams FBI over surveillance applications, in rare public order
Fox News ^ | 17 December 2019 | Andrew O'Reilly, Bill Mears

Posted on 12/17/2019 2:05:17 PM PST by Magnatron

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."

Yes, Judge, a strongly-worded letter will do the trick.

Nevermind holding those who signed the false FISA applications in contempt, and ordering them to pay fines and/or serve jail time.

Does everyone notice how the media, including Fox News, is always talking about how they improperly surveilled Carter Page?

And they never explain the two-hop rule and how it works and how Carter Page was merely a conduit to spy on Donald Trump and his entire campaign and transition team and presidency.

Some of us haven’t forgotten that one Rosemary Collyer refused to provide transcripts of FISA court sessions related to the Page warrant to David Nunes when Republicans were investigating the very nonsense that has now been confirmed by a Democrat IG. Later the FISA court claimed it did not condescend to record its proceedings. Guess she forgot to mention that. Why does she preside over a star chamber with secret presentations and discussion that aren’t even recorded?

Wherefore, it is hereby

Ordered, Adjudged and Decreed, that the current head of the FBI bend over and a receive a dozen noogies for the misdeeds of the previous FBI Director, who will receive wet willies in perpetuam from a 400-pound Swedish masseuse every Monday morning at five a.m., unless he no longer works at the FBI, in which case never mind.

"calls into question whether information contained in other FBI applications is reliable."

So, make a determination already.

After 911 I remember Freepers just livid over this...

The Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act The period after 9/11 also saw major changes – and major controversy – around privacy, as spotlighted by government snitch Edward Snowden. The Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act, which created a secret court, was amended in both 2001 and 2008, lowering the legal bar for the government to engage in wiretapping and other surveillance practices, National Law Journal reports. It is also widely documented that the National Security Agency or NSA turned inward after 9/11, going from an agency that spied on foreign governments and foreign terrorists to one that often tracks communications of American citizens here at home, and often without a warrant, according to the charges of Snowden and others

It came back to bite us just as predicted.

CNN headline reads: “FISA court slams FBI conduct in Carter Page surveillance warrant applications”

Exactly! The FISA warrant allows the “two-hop” rule. That means the spying just starts with Page. It includes the first circle of people who Page had direct contact with. And includes the second circle of people who had contact with the first circle. Carter Page had direct contact with President Trump adviser Steve Bannon, so the second hop would include President Trump. Also look at how many the second hop can rope in. Assume Carter had 20 contacts and those 20 contacts had 20 contacts. The first hop ropes in 20 people, but the second hop ropes in 20X20 or 400 people.
