Apparently Trump’s side is ok with this pick too.
Yes, Dearie signed one of the Carter Page warrants; but it has since come out that the FBI wasn’t entirely forthcoming when applying for it.
Judges don’t like to be lied to, or made a fool of.
Time will tell.
When this broke I was watching Waters World. Jesse indicated this Judge did sit on the FISA court and did sign a warrant for the FBI against the Trump campaign. He also indicated the Judge is now aware the FBI lied in the application. Like you said, judges don’t like to be lied to especially in high profile cases that make them look like fools. I think the FBI and DOJ are going to find that any ambiguity regarding documents are going to go Trumps way.
There was never any accountability by the FISA court towards the FBI for their transgressions. This could be pay back time.
Yeah, but still, two things:
#1 - Any judge who sat on the FISA court for 7 years was routinely rubberstamping patently unconstitutional surveillance of American citizens with regularity.
#2 - Any judge who approved wiretaps on a presidential campaign, on false evidence or not, has already shown they are willing to aide and abet interference in the political process by federal law enforcement.
