Devin Nunes May Summon Chief Justice To Testify On FISA Abuses
Daily Caller ^ | 2/8/2018 | Kevin Daley

Posted on 02/08/2018 6:04:06 PM PST by bitt

GOP Rep. Devin Nunes of Calif., chair of the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence, may invite Chief Justice John Roberts to testify before the panel on alleged FISA abuses.

Nunes told radio host and Republican wise man Hugh Hewitt Thursday that committee Republicans have entertained the idea, as Roberts appoints all FISA judges, but cautioned no decision has yet been made. Hewitt and Nunes discussed the idea in connection with the committee’s memo on the secret intelligence courts, which alleged the FBI sought authorization to surveil President Donald Trump’s campaign aides on the basis of political opposition research.

“Now the chief justice appoints the FISA judges,” Hewitt said. “Have you had a chance to chat with him or any of the FISA judges about what went on at the FISA court with regard to the [Carter] Page application?”

Either the FISA judges who approved this were complicit or lied to. Either way they will be outraged or will feign outrage. I would think at least one of the four will take action against the perjured applications submitted by the FBI. By floating this Nunes will put all four into CYA overdrive.

I agree, unfortunately the House and the Senate is gutless to do anything with regard to FISA.

Why did Roberts have to swear Hussein in twice, the second time in private in the White House?

Question Number ONE:

Mr. Chief Justice, under penalty of misleading the Congress of the United States, have you ever in your present capacity been compelled, coerced, or blackmailed by present or past agents of the Government of the United States with regards to cases under your jurisdiction?

“...SCOTUS is a co-equal branch of government and is not obligated to recognize or submit to a congressional subpoena.”

Is not the Executive a co-equal branch? Is the President obligated to appear before a grand jury?

I would think Congress.

They create the courts, and they created the FISA court.

Nunes told radio host and Republican wise man Hugh Hewitt...

And that right there is the end of the article for me, but I did get a good belly laugh.
