John P. Carlin is the common denominator in the Russian dossier fiasco. Carlin was a Senior Justice Department official in charge of the National Security Department (NSD). The Department of Justice is responsible for prosecuting federal crimes.
His duties included:
Providing legal oversight of the NSA’s surveillance activities (National Security Agency)
Representing the government before the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court (FISA) and the Committee on Foreign Investments
Acting as lead investigator into breaches of public and private sector e-mail systems and protocol (like Hillary Clinton’s email leaks and her private access given to others of non-secure top secret information)
Overseeing the investigations and prosecution of espionage cases, and cases involving the illegal export of military and strategic commodities (like Uranium One)
Managing cases of foreign hacking into domestic computer systems (like attempting to rig the election of a U.S. President)
Selecting, approving, and allowing top security clearances for 70 private contractors like Fusion GPS and CrowdStrike to have unrestricted access to the nation’s surveillance data (which the court ruled to be illegal)
Writing and signing FISA warrants.
Approving surveillance of 30,055 American citizens during the 2016 Presidential Campaign (which the court ruled to be illegal)
“Nobody in a Senior Department post resigns three weeks before an election when you think Hillary Clinton is going to win,” said Joe diGenova. He is a former Special Prosecutor from the District of Columbia who has a private law practice. One of diGenova’s clients is President Donald J. Trump.
Yet Carlin quit. Why?
“The answer is simple. It is all about the dossier”, said diGenova. The Russian dossier “is a collection of field interviews”, said Glenn Simpson. His company, Fusion GPS, wrote it.
The FBI paid for it. The Hillary Clinton Campaign for President bought it too and paid $12.4 million for it. What it cost the FBI is unknown pending public information disclosure law suits.
I understand that on his way out he even told the FISA court that they used fake info in the 302 applications all the time.
Carlin quit because he had committed IMHO fraud upon the FISA Court and Admniral Rogers called him on it.
Based on a time line I have seen, Carlin submitted the material for the Carter Page Warrant at the same time he had a report from Rogers that Carlin was required to submit to the FISA Court regarding activities of those accessing NSA Databases.
That report was in direct violation of the FISA COURT Judges orders as to access and searching means/methods by Contractors.
Carlin sat on that information until AFTER the court approved the Warrant. Later that day he then submitted the report.
This a very good read on J.P. Carlin
from the list of carlin’s responsibilities:
“Selecting, approving, and allowing top security clearances for 70 private contractors like Fusion GPS and CrowdStrike to have unrestricted access to the nation’s surveillance data (which the court ruled to be illegal)”

ain’t it amazing that this guy is the gatekeeper for access to US gummit security clearances to our surveillance systems.
