Collyer retiring for health reasons?
As long as Congress is in an impeaching mood, Judge Collyer seems to be deserving, if she wasn’t quitting early with her pension intact.
Hammer and chisel. When pissing on it isn't quite adequate as a remedy.
One way to get 5results would be to pout up BillBoards all around DC with Comey,Collyer,Contreras pictures and a caption along the lines of
Need a Warrantto SPY on yopur Political Opponent?? Bring Your LIES and Lot’s of CASH
collyer essentially stole money from the taxpayer to fund her fraud. What a integrity-free creep. Now she’ll draw taxpayer money to fund her retirement. Should’t criminals go to prison???
Did she just wake up?
***************
She was turning a blind eye to the Swamp’s shenanigans. Now that its been exposed she suddenly decides to retire.
Note the lack of outrage by the likes of her and Christopher Wray, neither of whom is calling for accountability. The are both denizens of the DC Swamp.
This is good, the pundits, dumb as they are, are starting to ask this obvious question. Maybe they going to follow where the strings attached to supreme Court Justice Roberts lead. I doubt it
Collyer is just covering her ass by laying on all the blame on the FBI. No doubt the FBI was fraudulent and should be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law, but the court should certainly not be excused for their lack of oversight. It appears FISC rubber stamps all the applications submitted which is not acceptable.
Where is John Roberts? Doesn’t he oversee the FISA courts? At the very least, he ought to make a public statement acknowledging the court messed up big time and explain how he will make sure the problems are corrected
FISA court IS a fraud on America.
Secret courts have no place in a free country.
RICO is routinely used to try to prove that a legal business was being used for illegal means ( RICO was used to prosecute drug traffickers or organized crime members).
In recent years prosecutors have applied RICO to crooked government officials: (1) those accused of using their public offices for personal gain, and, (2) tax-paid officials of govt agencies using public monies to flout the law.
To bring a case under RICO laws, there must be (A) at least two underlying felonies such as fraud, bribery, witness tampering (among other felonies) and (B) a known pattern of repeated crimes.
RICO allows prosecutors to include multiple defendants charged with various crimes in the blanket indictment, and to charge that govt employees, publicly-funded and publicly-sanctioned entities were allegedly part of an ongoing criminal enterprise.
JUST ONE EXAMPLE A govt official commits two felonies by (1) accepting, and, (2) filing falsified documents.
=====================================
TAX-PAYING AMERICANS BEING BILKED BY PUBLIC CORRUPTION,
BY CRIMINAL ACTIVITIES OF INDIVIDUALS ON THE PUBLIC PAYROLL
NEED TO GO THIS ROUTE Strengthen and enact state RICO laws to nail greedy criminal govt officials.
============================================
AND THIS If proof is established that public corruption impaired the commercial and economic activity of the region, that could be prosecutable under the Hobbs Act. (18 U.S.C. § 1951) which prohibits actual or attempted robbery or extortion affecting interstate or foreign commerce.
Section 1951 also proscribes conspiracy to commit robbery or extortion without reference to the conspiracy statute at 18 U.S.C. § 371.
Although the Hobbs Act was enacted as a statute to combat racketeering in labor-management disputes, the statute is frequently used in connection with cases involving public corruption, commercial disputes, violent criminals and street gangs, and corruption directed at members of labor unions.
===============================================
CASE IN POINT The 1980 Georgia General Assembly was concerned about the increasing sophistication of various criminal elements on the public payroll (and those in elective and appointive office). The Georgia General Assembly then adopted the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act (RICO), patterned after a similar federal law.
UPDATE Georgia tried convicted and jailed 27 corrupt teachers under this law.....for falsely taking public money, falsifying official school records, and so on.
Revise procedures?
Like the current procedures allow submitting fraudulent materials and omitting exculpatory material?
I doubt if I've ever seen those two words side by side.
Lol.
Rule 1: Check all judges fo see if they are Dorkbama or Bubba appointees.
Rule 2: If yes, prepare to see some of the most dishonest, incompetent, childish and totally untrustworthy rulings in the multiverse.
If they are also ivy league law school grads, multiply your distrust by 2.58 x 10^25.
This, folks, is the reason for the Second Amendment.
Why doesn't the FISA court revise it's own rules so as not to end up being fooled? Or is this just an attempt by an embarrassed judge to put the blame on someone else?
Everything that involves democrats involves committing fraud.
Judge Collyer near this two years ago, the fact that she did not bring charges then shows that she failed to do her duty, and is now knowingly just as guilty.
They should all be tried and executed including their supervisor Supreme court chief justice roberts. Try them all for treason and then have em hanged on the white house lawn. They deserve it
Incredible article...and scary.
I think the overall blame can be placed on Paul Ryan, who protected the Deep State to the end. Had he given a damn about the country, instead, he would have let Nunes bring that FISA Bitch in front of Congress to explain why she didn’t care about this spying.
Just sickening.
