Government watchdog Judicial Watch expects the FBI to release a series of redacted documents Friday related to the FISA warrant used to surveil former Trump campaign official Carter Page.
"The warrants are controversial because the FISA court was never told that the key information justifying the requests came from a minimally-corroborated “dossier” that was created by Fusion GPS, a paid agent of the Clinton campaign and Democratic National Committee," Judicial Watch released in a statement. "In April, the DOJ told the court it was “processing for potential redaction and release certain FISA materials related to Carter Page,” and agreed to a production schedule for responsive records that is to be completed today, July 20, 2018."
The release comes after Judicial Watch filed a Freedom of Information lawsuit in July 2017, when DOJ refused to comply with a FOIA request for the documents.
“Judicial Watch may finally get the infamous spy warrants the Obama administration and Deep State conspired with the Clinton campaign used to target then-candidate and now President Trump,” Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton said about the expected release. “It took a year, but the stonewall and cover-up, we hope, begins to end today.”
In March, DOJ Inspector General Michael Horowitz opened an investigation into potential FISA abuse during the 2016 presidential election.
"Department of Justice (DOJ) Inspector General Michael E. Horowitz announced today that, in response to requests from the Attorney General and Members of Congress, the Office of the Inspector General (OIG) will initiate a review that will examine the Justice Department’s and the Federal Bureau of Investigation’s (FBI) compliance with legal requirements, and with applicable DOJ and FBI policies and procedures, in applications filed with the U.S. Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court (FISC) relating to a certain U.S. person," the DOJ Office of the Inspector General released in a statement at the time. "As part of this examination, the OIG also will review information that was known to the DOJ and the FBI at the time the applications were filed from or about an alleged FBI confidential source. Additionally, the OIG will review the DOJ’s and FBI’s relationship and communications with the alleged source as they relate to the FISC applications."
Judge Contreras is FRIENDS with Peter Strzok!
and Sessions is no where. How the hell is he still in that position/
bump
“How the hell is he still in that position/”
The power of the Deep State.
STILL WAITING ....
If they do release them they will be so heavily redacted that it will take a thousand gallons of black ink to print them out
if only we had an AG with a set of balls instead of a spineless coward who refuses to do his job.
he has a boss
(But especially this one...) :)
We don't know for a fact that the FISA court did no know this. What if the Court was equally in on it?
The FBI won’t release significant documents to Congress they sure are not going to release them to JW. The FBI does not care about the law. If they release anything then it will be carefully picked thru.
Almost everyone of them has something in their past that can be used against them
Remember when Clinton was first elected and Hillary declared it was a “co-presidency?”
Alinsky “intern” Hillary got access to FBI files, 9,000 of them was the count back then, and used them in a shadow government/deep state manner to control many many people in high positions in government.
Who knows what information she found deeply buried when she was Sec of State to use against those she knew were conservative patriots?
The corruption in our government is at the highest level in history.
Trump, IMO, needs to be more aggressive in his process of draining the swamp.
As he works to restore our Constitutional Republic to what the Fouders meant it to be, he has to be careful in his choices of how to do it without it being abruptly stopped
The left is going postal in large numbers.
One of Scarborough's original butt buddies, the old chunky guy with the space between his teeth, said real recently that we should throw out the constitutional and get a new president.
The vicious far left will use any means necessary to keep the USA from being a Free and Constitutional country.
Just look at the people that were murdered during the last election that were going to expose Hillary Clinton.
Seth Rich and three others in about a 40 day period.
Yes. PDJT will not just drain the swamp. He will blow it up.
Having read the Warrants here is what I have to say: Rosenstein’s wife did a monster of redacting...Almost the entire warrant is redacted except the June 2017 renewal it was signed by her husband> Seems like there is a lot of love lost in the swamp<<<<
Who? WHO??? Someone knows who the “brainiac” judge is that approved the FISA warrant one-two-three times. Who is this imbecile so that we can begin to ask them nicely to resign ASAP before they do any more harm to our USA. They must not remain in ignorant incognito. WHO???
