In a rare public order Tuesday, the chief judge of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court [FISC] strongly criticized the FBI over its surveillance-application process, giving the bureau until Jan. 10 to come up with solutions, in the wake of findings from Justice Department Inspector General Michael E. Horowitz.
The order, from the court's presiding judge Rosemary M. Collyer, came just a week after the release of Horowitz's withering report about the wiretapping of former Trump campaign adviser Carter Page, as part of former Special Counsel Robert Mueller's investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election.
"The FBI's handling of the Carter Page applications, as portrayed in the [Office of Inspector General] report, was antithetical to the heightened duty of candor described above," Collyer wrote in her four-page order. "The frequency with which representations made by FBI personnel turned out to be unsupported or contradicted by information in their possession, and with which they withheld information detrimental to their case, calls into question whether information contained in other FBI applications is reliable."

I wonder if Collyer even looked at the evidence, and if so, if she asked questions. Even an honest judge can be lazy.
I think she is saying “No FISA warrants until 20 January 2021, or possibly 20 January 2025, depending ...”
My 1st thought as well
Jackasses...Fraudz...
You can say That again !
I too have the utmost respect for her and her colleagues.../s
Duh...
And there was already a system in place to ensure integrity of FISA applications...
All they had to do was be dishonest and take advantage of a system and people who presumed they were trustworthy, which they proved they are not...
RE: The court could refuse...
The court could have refused the first ones, if they had a shred of integrity. All the FBI had was razor thin, even with their claim that it was “verifiable.”
No, the court will clean itself right after hell freezes over.
There should be their.
More like a pop on the palm of the hand. Bad lil boyz.
Now, write us a 500 word essay on how your never ever going to do this again.
Curious...why do you say fib instead of fbi?
Collyer’s statemet is as laughable as a similar one would have been from Roland Friesler to the Gestapo.
Thanks, your (<———— thypo joke) right...
Probably says more about you than her.
FISA Court news: Judge Rosemary Collyer, who I am told has health issues, will step down early as presiding judge & Chief Justice Roberts has tapped (obama appointed) Judge James Boasberg to take over that role in the new year. (Collyer will apparently remain a FISA judge; her term ends in March.) pic.twitter.com/4f7zjw5USm

You can’t tell “appoint” from “oversee,” of if you can, you are gaslighting others that they are the same thing.
LOL!
Ignoring reality is no defense of your incorrect position.
But that’s OK...I’ll forgive your wayward digressions.
Ciao!
To suggest Chief Justice Dread Pirate Roberts has no connection, direct or indirect, to FISC is, well....absurd.
btw, Chief Justice Dread Pirate Roberts is the one who appoints judges to the FISA court – every last one of them including judges like Rudolph Contreras, who granted a previously denied Michael Flynn FISA warrant.

Not news to me. I said so in my original post. I'm not going to look it up. Bye again.
