A Little Known Tweak To FISA Rules In 2015 Has Big Implications For The Carter Page Warrant

The Federalist ^ | 15 March 2018 | Margot Cleveland

[lowbuck]

Congress requires the FISA court to maintain a pool of lawyers friendly to civil liberties who are willing to challenge the Justice Department's applications for a spy warrant. But the court almost never uses them. . . snip

That reform, if properly implemented, could have averted the current scandal surrounding the FISA court order authorizing a wiretap of former Donald Trump campaign volunteer Carter Page — but only if the Obama Administration had also properly disclosed that the Democratic National Committee and the Hillary Clinton Campaign had funded the Steele Dossier.

Did not see posted, so I hope you enjoy.

For those FReepers keeping up with FISAgate this is a new slant on how the system was "short circuited".

I keep my eye on FISAgate stuff as I think this is the crime that is going to hang a few folks. Easy for the average Joe to understand and understand it could happen to them. For many, the system has probably taught them the deck is stacked so revenge is not far away.

As always, just my 2¢

Who decides whether or not a particular lawyer is "friendly to civil liberties"?

My biggest question, though, is this: If a particular law is so draconian that those who passed it find it necessary to employ a special list of lawyers to defend people against it, is it really a law you want to leave on your books?

The one who pays enough fees to the lawyer...:)

The Deep State is filled with politically-motivated advocates whose roles fit otherwise neatly into a special amicus curiae playbook. Ugh. When will these people pay for the damage they’ve caused?

Better to eliminate the FISA court? There’s too many moving parts controlled by leftists.

[Jacquerie]

A most excellent unanswered question. The 4th Amendment rights of Carter Page were trashed to get DJT. This is right up the ACLU’s professed alley.
