Attorney General William Barr met with Senate Republicans on Tuesday to convince them to support an expiring surveillance law, while telling them that he wants to make internal reforms to the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) warrant process.
Several GOP senators told reporters after a private caucus lunch that Barr was looking at steps to reform the FISA warrant application process internally to tighten standards on obtaining a warrant. The FISA warrant application process is at the center of a damning report by Inspector General Michael Horowitz on the surveillance of Trump campaign aide Carter Page during the 2016 presidential election.
The report, released on Dec. 9, 2019, concluded that the applications for FISA warrants on Page included 17 significant errors or omissions. Horowitz faulted the entire chain of command involved in the FBI investigation.
Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) told The Hill that Barr went over “his recommendations and some internal reforms about FISA warrant application and surveillance technology being used” during the meeting.
“He’s going to do some things that he can do,” he said. “I think he’s going to take a lot of what Horowitz did and add his own stamp to it.”
Meanwhile, Graham told Fox News that Barr committed to “clean up [the] mess” of what happened in 2016 while adding that “whether or not we need statutory changes I think is a subject of debate.”
The Justice Department did not immediately respond to The Epoch Times’ request to comment about what reforms the attorney general intends to make.
During a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing in December, Horowitz said many of the errors found in his investigation amounted to a failure that implicated the chain of command at the FBI responsible for handling the FISA applications, including senior officials.

I do not trust Barr.
Do you? If so, why?
How about some external changes, like prosecuting some DOJ traitors?
“Attorney General William Barr met with Senate Republicans on Tuesday to convince them to support an expiring surveillance law, while telling them that he wants to make internal reforms to the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) warrant process.”
Translation. Former CIA and long term DOJ man is begging for the ability to conduct massive domestic surveillance, and promises to make changes in the un-American secret court system that was just used to launch a coup.
He promises!

We want prison time for these traitors!!!
Nothing less will be acceptable for true justice.
No FISA renewal. Not until Hillary, Comey, Lois Lerner, etc. are brought to justice for their illegal deeds. No more two tiered justice system.
Does anyone really understand this? I am sure there are already embedded assets from the intelligence agencies inside all the presidential campaigns RIGHT NOW AS BARR VASCILLATES on the redecorating!
Should have begged them to kill the damn thing.
Time to get rid of FISA
‘
They all say it was horrible, then they put a Deep State fool that hates Trump I’m charge of rewriting the process.
Then they all get in line to say it should be re-upped and Continued.
The Deep State Rules.... ask that activist Whistleblower!
.
The Qballs will be here soon with more of their “trust Sessions..trust the plan” delusions.

This is all such a sick, sick joke. Barr defended the murderer of teenage son of Randy Weaver stating all of the FBI murdering agents should receive immunity.
Barr is the deepest of the deep state.
Is everybody with the screen name 'Lurker' a derp, or what?
I have no reason to trust Barr. Showing me nothing but talk, talk, talk, and not one of the communists Democrats in jail.
No, but apparently everyone with the handle of “bagster” is a deluded fool following a Qball.
So where are those arrests that are now 3 Tuesdays over due?
You clowns should have gotten something right accidentally by now.
But you haven’t.
