Obama and the FISA Court

Wall Street Journal ^ | 2/3/18 | James Freeman

This column is trying to imagine how an editor at The Wall Street Journal would treat a draft article alleging a political campaign adviser was secretly working for a foreign government if the story featured uncorroborated opposition research paid for by a rival campaign. If the writer of the draft article assured the editor that readers would not be told where the information originated, it’s a safe bet this would not increase the chances of publication.

This column is also trying to imagine the conversation that would ensue if a reporter or writer then tried to persuade the editor by appealing to the authority of Yahoo News.

Of course the Journal isn’t the only media outlet that enforces standards. Many organizations strive to ensure basic accuracy and fairness. Can it possibly be true that the evidentiary standards for obtaining a federal warrant allowing the government to spy on the party out of power are significantly lower than in a professional newsroom?

Today the American people are finally able to see the memo from the majority staff of the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence alleging abuse of government surveillance powers during the last presidential campaign. Many will be appalled that, at least according to the memo, on October 21, 2016 the Department of Justice and the FBI obtained a court order authorizing electronic surveillance on a Trump campaign volunteer without telling the court that Hillary Clinton and the Democratic National Committee had paid for at least some of the research presented.

His name is Adam Schiff, and he is now the ranking member on House Intelligence. But oddly he doesn’t seem to want to take credit for his early concern for civil liberties.

Rep. Adam Schiff’s Congressional Career Aided by Soros-Financed Groups

Breitbart ^ | April 10, 2017 | Aaron Klein

Rep. Adam Schiff, the ranking Democrat on the House Intelligence Committee, was previously financially aided by the George Soros-financed MoveOn.org to win his Congressional seat.

Schiff was also awarded the Toll Fellowship, which is sponsored by the Council of State Governments, a nonprofit that monitors federal government activities and is heavily financed by Soros’s Open Society Foundations.

The Open Society and Soros-funded groups have additionally supported a number of Schiff’s legislative efforts.

I can’t see anyone in congress or he courts having the guts to do this.. if the left is upset over a memo.. what would they do for this.. but there is a lot more to come yet. I figure he’d leave the U S and live where they want him as their crooked leader, if he thought he was in danger... where he could still talk to his devoted.

One could only wish it were true.

When I think about (not that often) Schiff, Pelosi, Watters, Feinstein, Boxer, and other democraps from California, I wonder are all democraps in California naturally right-brained, because they have no apparent ability to reason logically.

[RitaOK]

Now, that’s a heck of a reach. The future can not be kept secret because it is most certainly never known before the fact, to be a promise.

.......Americans are finally able to see the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence memo alleging abuse of government surveillance powers during the last presidential campaign. Many will be appalled that, on October 21, 2016, Obama's DOJ and his FBI obtained a court order authorizing electronic surveillance on a Trump campaign volunteer without telling the court that Hillary Clinton and the DNC had paid for at least some of the research presented......

The Halfrican proves once again, he's more at home in a Third World dictatorship......
rather than a democracy where the ballot box determines our leaders.

Copy the headline and paste it into google to get the full article. The article shows Adam Schiff’s hypocrisy in being interested in protecting US citizens from arbitrary FISA court opinions.

Maxine Waters (Dem-CA) in a February interview, stupidly spills the beans on Obama
“Obama has put in place the kind of database....will have everything on every individual”

“The President has put in place an organization with the kind of database that no one has ever seen before in life,” Representative Maxine Waters told Roland Martin.

“That’s going to be very, very powerful,” Waters said. “That database will have information about everything on every individual on ways that it’s never been done before and whoever runs for President on the Democratic ticket has to deal with that. They’re going to go down with that database and the concerns of those people because they can’t get around it. And he’s [President Obama] been very smart. It’s very powerful what he’s leaving in place.”

They were probably born with that mental defect, they have no apparent ability to reason logically.

Then, they win elections in California because their rat and some so called independent voters have zero ability to reason logically.

Which is why some many conservatives refuse to discuss anything with them.

The irony of receiving support from a group that has the audacity to call itself “open societies” and shiff fighting to hide the truth.

Try this: Obama and the FISA Court

[fella]

Are the FISA judges in on this conspiracy?

[maryz]

Sorry — it’s only part!

Your comments may be the best of the day to describe the Democrats, the MSM and their controllers, the Deep State with this Memo of Truth!

The irony of receiving support from a group that has the audacity to call itself “open societies” and Shiff fighting to hide the truth.
