The reason to get a FISA warrant was to give the FBI a legal defense for what would otherwise be a felony. That's the REAL purpose of FISA, to get bad actors off the hook when they commit felonious snooping.

That is very believable. I was commenting on your statement

FISA is an unconstitutional encumbrance on warrantless spy vs. spy snooping.

Wasn't it supposed to be for "spy vs. spy?" The fact that it is possible for a political opponent to be an agent of a foreign county does not, in my opinion, make it applicable to all spying that the government might do.

True that. One thing you can count on, the government will lie about what it did and why it did it.
