Former President Trump's opposition to the extension of an unrevised Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) was labeled as "crazy and reckless" by former Attorney General Bill Barr. "FISA is an essential tool for our intelligence community to have access to the communications of our potential enemies so they can keep all of us safe."

Trump pointed to "the abuse of FISA to spy on me and others who the deep state and the Biden Administration have designated as so-called 'enemies of democracy' needs to stop. Listen, labeling one's political opponents as enemies is the real threat to democracy. It's not only Republicans who have been targeted. Robert Kennedy Jr has been targeted and has correctly identified Biden's efforts to censor views he disagrees with as the real enemy of democracy. Legal scholars like Professor Jonathan Turley also oppose this abuse of FISA by the government."

Barr admitted that "spying on and censoring political opponents is not optimal, but I think it is a risk worth taking. All modern governments have secret police to help ensure that the evil plans of foreign entities can be detected in advance and countered before they are carried out. Requiring our FBI to obtain court warrants before they spy on domestic political opponents, as Trump and some others demand, could be a fatal mistake. For all we know, these objectors to warrantless surveillance could be in league with our foreign adversaries. It wasn't too long ago that Trump was alleged to be working with Russia to undermine the candidacy of Secretary of State Hillary Clinton in the 2016 presidential election. The fact that he defeated her demonstrates the danger and the need for the type of unrestrained authority we should want our FBI to have."

It may have been a fabulous tool when investigating foreigners, but when false information was used to justify persecution of an American citizen, Donald Trump, they crossed the line. No one was held responsible. Even the FISA judges who knowingly granted soiled warrants were never reprimanded.

"The fact that he (Trump) defeated her demonstrates the danger and the need for the type of unrestrained authority we should want our FBI to have."

Very realistic satire.
