*NEW* 4/26/17 FISC Court Order c/o Judicial Watch:

1) The FISC busted Obama before in 2011 going back to 2008.

2) The NSA IG (under direction of Rogers) investigated 702 "about" queries from 2015-2016 and found a whopping 85% of Obama queries were not legal.

3) The Court ruled that the NSA could not give FBI anything more until Rogers' new rules were adopted.

"At the October 26, 2016 hearing, the Court ascribed the government's failure to disclose those IG and OCO reviews at the October 4, 2016 hearing to an institution "lack of candor" on NSA's part and emphasized "that this is a very serious Fourth Amendment issue."

This is my first hearing of that. Of course, Assange could be referring to his own situation in the embassy there.

Rogers initiated the audit, he took the findings of his compliance officer to the FISC, so I'm not sure why the court would rule NSA had a lack of institutional candor.

Fact was, someone accessed these "about queries" from a SCIF. That almost certainly means 1) NSC 2) FBI Counter Intelligence or 3) DOJ NatSec Division. They are serious Fourth Amendment issues; felonies, in fact, and people--not at NSA--are going to prison when all is said and done.
