Former AG Michael Mukasey just stated on Lou Dobbs that Trump has power to access FISA warrants

Posted on 03/06/2017 4:40:11 PM PST by RoosterRedux

Yep, this is a vanity. But I wanted to get this important tidbit of information in front of youse guys.

Mukasey, who should know, stated that Trump has the power to get to the bottom of this matter at least as it pertains to accessing the FISA applications and warrants...and probably anything else that the intel community knows.

Trump is client number one, after all. U.S. intel works for HIM.

I have no links but if this matter results in a printed story (and I find it), I will post it here.

The “ultimate consumer.” He has access to everything. All this intelligence is primarily for his decisions.

I presumed this was true but it was nice to hear it confirmed by Mukasey.

BTW Mukasey is off the opinion that Trump was indeed wiretapped.

I’ve been hearing this all day and it’s followed by a very obvious question, both by his detractors and his defenders.

Why isn’t he doing it???

This is what Kellyanne Conway insinuated. She said something like “The President has intelligence no one else has.” Of course she was laughed at for this.

The media still looks at Trump as the billionaire celebrity and not the POTUS with access to all kinds of intelligence.

Such a conclusion ought to be self-evident, but today no one can any longer rely on common sense for the answer. It is ludicrous to think that the President does not have the right to access anything he wants in his executive branch?

What does that mean? Wikileaks Vault 7.

I saw the tweet but don’t know what it means.

Poor Obama never understood that Trump could win. He conducted his dirty tricks believing that Hillary would cover his ass.

No wonder the Left is freaking out. No wonder Hillary pitched a fit upon realizing that she lost.

Their goose is cooked and they are just now considering the magnitude of it.

Lock em up...lock em all up.

Their world is collapsing...and it must be hard to grasp just how big a deal this really is.

I'm lovin' it.

It is indeed. But I don't believe it is new news - at least to Trump and his staff.

So ...

Unless they are complete idiots they have already determined that the FISA requests exist and have read them and that the FISA Court decisions have also been read.

If I am right about this then Trump knows the deal. As President he is legally able to declassify (perhaps with some redactions) any of these documents.

So why hasn't he? Why not release them to the public, Donald? If there is just one FISA request, approved or not, it will show the intent of the Justice Department to gain access to Trump Tower communications.

'Tis a mystery to me. But I'm patient. Maybe Trump is waiting for the hole that the Dems and the MSM are digging for themselves to be a bit deeper.

Andrew McCarthy over at NRO has written the same thing, and called out the NYT for implying it would be interfering with an investigation.

He might have already done it. He’s going to hit them hard when he is ready.

Lou Dobbs had NSA whistle Blower Bill Binney

Plus the FBI and CIA plus others, as of the last month of the Obama administration, have direct access to all the NSA collection (metadata and content on phones,email and banking/credit cards etc.) with no attempt at oversight by anybody [background]. This is all done under Executive Order 12333 [the order which allows unlimited spying no matter what intelligence officials claim] ....

Has it occurred to anyone that the 0bomb regime may have wiretapped/surveilled the Trump campaign and appointees without an FSA application and obtaining a warrant? And if it was not legal to wiretap/surveil an American, why would they apply for one?

Just a guess, but I wonder if this was the reason for Comey's 3 hour behind-closed-doors meeting with the House Intelligence Committee on Thursday. Reportedly, Rep Adam Schiff (Butthead-California) stormed out of the meeting when it ended.

And speaking of storms, I just tuned in to the Weather Channel and they are predicting that a major shiite storm will hit DC in the next few weeks.

He likes to dominate the news cycle....when its ripe for release or when he needs it to yank the media’s chain...he will let it out.
