I don’t think so. What, is he telling all the FISC judges “Pssst - take it easy on Democrats?” The judges don’t report to Roberts, and Roberts doesn’t report to Congress.The bottom line is that the Congress has a problem - unless you think that Roberts should have declined to name judges to the FISCourt? That would be true if in fact FISA is unconstitutional - but SCOTUS is restricted to hearing cases brought to it, and FISA - being secret - does not give you a chance to appeal a ruling that you didn’t even know was being made.
The trouble with the FISC is that it exists to let the FBI et. al. to violate rights. Hence the judges are there to defer to the FBI - and hence, they did. What I do find passing strange is if the Hillary dossier was used for a warrant, and that dossier was created to smear Trump. If the name Trump was all over it, how did any judge - any judge - issue a warrant????
As Rush said today - he credited a friend for the info - the FISA is all about intelligence, not criminality. Hence, FISA is a tool for the POTUS personally, and hence the requested warrant to surveil Page and his associates including the Republican candidate for POTUS - and then including the POTUS himself. How does that work??? How does intelligence agency surveil POTUS "on behalf of POTUS” without the knowledge of POTUS ???
And what is really weird is that Special Counsel Muller has an intel - “Russian Collusion,” not criminal - remit. Investigating POTUS, while nominally existing for POTUS.
That is what Andrew McCarthy, the NeverTrumper says.
That Mulehead’s investigation is a Intel investigation, not
a criminal investigation.
I don’t believe a word he says.
