FISA Court Confirms The Government Lied In Every Spy Warrant Application Against Carter Page
thefederalist.com ^ | SEPTEMBER 17, 2020 | Jordan Davidson

A newly declassified ruling from a Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) court in June demonstrates that the government lied about its legal basis for spying on former Trump campaign official Carter Page.

The ruling states that the information produced by the FBI’s unlawful investigation into Page was illegally obtained and that it “found violations of the government’s duty of candor in all four applications.” The ruling also orders the government that “it must temporarily retain, and potentially use and disclose, the information collected, largely in the context of ongoing or anticipated litigation.”

Under the court’s 21-page assessment, information obtained by all four of the warrants and applications is invalidated due to its illegal acquisition, unless the Department of Justice is using it “to investigate or prosecute potential crimes relating to the conduct of the Page or Crossfire Hurricane investigations” such as the FBI’s overreach and its violations of FISA.

“The Court is permitting use or disclosure of information obtained from electronic surveillance or physical search of Page only where it has been or can be demonstrated to be necessary to remedy or deter the types of harm,” the ruling states.

It must also be proved that the information is required for a specific need before it can be accessed.

And this is why the FISA process is dangerous and ought to be gotten rid of

So there should be no oversight on the ability of the NSA, CIA and FBI to spy on Americans? FISA was/is actually a good idea. It just needs to be cleaned up.

Justice takes too long on the very most important cases.

The DOJ and the intelligence community should have been told by the FISA court that all new requests to approve their warrants would have to wait until prior questionable warrants were adjudicated.

Why?

Trust. And how can new warrants be trusted by a federal community caught lying to FISA, until the lies are opened up and people are fired?

He should be awarded a trillion dollars & an Abrams tank to use on the homes & persons any of the A$$holes who spied on him!

Not that I condone violence!

I assure you, no government official will lose a job or one penny of pension. They will probably be given a promotion.

You try submitting false and misleading information to the court. The courts are so bad that they should flip the burden and only submit false evidence while investigating truth since it occurs so rarely within the FBI.

“AND... nobody’s going to jail.”

You might be right about that, but by the time Carter Page’s attorneys are done with every fraudster involved in violating his constitutional protections, who are now PERSONALLY liable, they will no longer be enjoying the comfortable retirement they’ve been planning their whole lives.

Carter Page is about to OWN them.

I didn’t say that

I happen to think FISA is a joke. It’s misused often and hasn’t prevented a darned thing

Wait until they do get rid of that racist, jingoistic attack on innocent foreigners. They’ll get something that combats the real threat. DISA, Domestic Intelligence Surveillance Court, designed for you and me and totally legal.

The Fisa Judges were all caught with corruption. So they were given 5 years to let it go away. Not a word from the Gov’t. about the Fisa Court being corrupt They have been fully outed since June ‘20. Roberts is the big player here. Still getting wealthy.

“Every” is well understood word.

Where are the consequences for the bad acts?

A bunch of revelations coming out lately, regarding Milley and Pelosi, FISA, FBI, the COVID and fake booster conspiracy, etc...

Looks more like the left is revelling and proclaiming their evil to taunt is, and reinforce the fact they cannot get in trouble, no matter what.

These revelations are more a child’s “nanny nanny booboo”, except they are also killing America quickly.
