“While parts of FISA were illegally and unfortunately used against me in the Democrats’ disgraceful Witch Hunt and Attack in the RUSSIA, RUSSIA, RUSSIA Hoax, and perhaps would be used against me in the future, I am willing to risk the giving up of my Rights and Privileges as a Citizen for our Great Military and Country! — @realDonaldTrump”
AC - your quote substitutes your own wording for his without showing you have done so. From the fuller quote listed on truth social the actual wording is:
“While parts of FISA were illegally and unfortunately used against me in the Democrats’ disgraceful Witch Hunt and Attack in the RUSSIA, RUSSIA, RUSSIA Hoax, and perhaps would be used against me in the future, I am willing to risk that as a Citizen in order to do what is right for our Country.”
to substitute more accurately, what he is saying is that he is “willing to risk [parts of FISA being illegally and unfortunately used against me] as a Citizen in order to do what is right for our Country.”
It sounds as though he means that as a citizen he (and we all) should be willing to risk having these “protections” abused in order to ensure that we win the war on terror or against whomever. Kind of like growing a victory garden.
I am inclined to believe that whomever includes the citizenry for some people. And I am not willing to simply believe every senator or congresscritter who has been escorted into a SCIF and come out a new convert on a clean FISA just because they say so. Burkett saying we can’t handle the truth on aliens comes to mind, but at least here he is not giving in yet.
It is far more likely they get shown what is known about them than that we can’t handle knowing the nature and extent of the threat against us.
I think we are in agreement about spying on Americans - but I think mashing around quotations makes actually convincing others of a position a little more difficult.

The confusion comes in because on 04/14 at 2:07 Pm, President Trump posted in part:
