Will DOJ Probe Into FISA Abuses Just Go Through the Motions?
The New American ^ | 28 February 2018 | C. Mitchell Shaw

Posted on 03/02/2018 12:43:39 PM PST by detective

Attorney General Jeff Sessions confirmed Tuesday that the Justice Department will investigate allegations that the Obama-era DOJ and FBI abused the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) to spy on the Trump campaign. But President Trump believes the probe could be sabotaged.

Sessions’ confirmation comes after his announcement February 18 on Fox News that his office would look into the claims of FISA abuses listed in the memo released by House Intelligence Committee Chairman Devin Nunes (R-Calif.). It also comes on the heels of the public release of the Democratic memo disputing the claims of the Nunes memo. The Democratic memo — authored by Representative Adam Schiff (D-Calif.) — claims that no such abuses ever took place. The facts, though, clearly favor the Republican memo, and Sessions has committed his office to getting to the bottom of the scandal.

It appears that the investigation will be controlled by Obama administration holdovers.

It will be interesting to see if they just go through the motions. Just like they have done in previous investigations.

It is a joke. No one investigates them selves!! It takes a special prosecutor. Mr. Magoo is a terrible disappointment to us all . He is the worst case of Mr. Magoo I have ever seen. I really don’t care what he says when ever he comes out of hiding to actually speak.

The investigation will probably be conducted at the local gym as part of the Tai Chi exercise program.

Lots of stretching and elaborate stretching, but no real sweat... /sarc

That is the only option available to them. If they conduct a thorough investigation, they will be forced to question themselves.

As we all know, talking to yourself isn’t wrong, but it’s when you start answering that you’re in real trouble.

Sessions is part of the communists left and has hidden it real well. His total reluctance to a Special Counsel to investigate the communists Democrats is proof. As far as the DOJ investigate and doing anything with the FISA is a joke. The FISA judge is a communists Democrat since she came from the pool of Federal judges which most were hard left liberals. America is in trouble and President Trump is a little asleep when it comes to real American enemies. Clean the swamp should be his primary responsibilities and he just doesn't seem to use his power.

Yep, they will go through the motions, issue a neutral report recommending some improvements with no punishments or adverse actions for anybody involved. The meek little coward Sessions will accept the report as is and give awards/promotions to all the “go through the motions” investigators.

This is nuts!

Trump has the authority to declassify and release all the FISA applications, all the FISA warrants, and all the FISA court transcripts.

Forget DOJ probes. Forget Sessions. Forget Rosenstein, Mueller, and the Hard Left MSM.

Release the documents so we can read them and make our own judgments.

Just do it, Trump!

Sessions is going to resign his post so that he can be the special prosecutor on all things Obama/Hillary. /sarc

Justice in the swamp is just a revolving door of crooks protecting crooks.

Obviously this is another case of Kabuki theater. The REPUBLICAN DOJ and the REPUBLICAN FBI have refused to turn over documents requested by Congress for over a year.
