There is a lot to unpack in a decision today by the Director of National Intelligence to declassify (with redactions) a 2018 FISA court ruling about ongoing unauthorized database search queries by FBI agents/”contractors” in the period covering 2017/2018.
BACKGROUND: In April 2017 the DNI released a FISA report written by Presiding Judge Rosemary Collery that showed massive abuse, via unauthorized searches of the NSA database, in the period of November 2015 through May 2016. Judge Collyer’s report specifically identified search query increases tied to the 2016 presidential primary. Two years of research identified this process as the DOJ/FBI and IC using the NSA database to query information related to political candidates, specifically Donald Trump.

What is really scary is that law enforcement can collect the information illegally, then use it to figure out who they want to target.
They would not bring the illegal information to court—they would collect that (already known) data by other means.
The criminal court judge and defense attorneys would have no way of finding out what happened.
Any law enforcement officer who used this technique should do hard jail time.

Newbie judges seem to get appointed to the FISC court. I guess its hard duty.
Do their arms get tired from rubber stamping the warrant requests. I know they don't strain their eyes reading them.

This has been one of the worst kept secrets, that the the Obama administration used the NSA database for political operations, spying on everyone across the US who ran for office.

>>>in the period of November 2015 through May 2016.
So these could well have been done by supporters of other candidates in the Republican primary.

No one will be arrested. Nothing was illegal. It was only “improper.” Perhaps a little etiquette training will provide a remedy this minor error. Nobody is perfect.
To: Travis McGee
From the Wall Street Journal article:
The surveillance court opinions are the latest setback for U.S. surveillance practices during the Trump administration.Is this supposed to make it sound like the Trump administration was using illegal surveillance methods? Yikes, these illegal surveillance methods were being used by the FBI and CIA AGAINST the Trump administration.
