To fully understand today’s response order (pdf here) from FISA Presiding Judge Rosemary Collyer to the DOJ/FBI, a little background context is needed.
As we noted, last weekend HPSCI ranking member Devin Nunes dropped the gloves and essentially stated the DOJ/FBI were conspiring against U.S. citizens with the wilful participation of the FISA court. This was a stunning, albeit unreported, development.
Nunes change in posture is important because he outlined that without severe corrective action the FISC should be dismantled. Additionally, on the specific issues of fraudulent applications to the FISC, in February 2018 Devin Nunes and former Judiciary Chairman Bob Goodlatte had prior communication to Judge Collyer with warnings. Very strongly worded warnings and concerns. So there’s a history on this exact issue.
In their prior communication Judge Collyer, representing the judicial branch, downplayed the warning of the legislative branch, and told Nunes and Goodlatte to work it out with the executive branch. The developments over the FISA fraud now stand against that context.
Today, Judge Rosemary Collyer responds to the DOJ and FBI about the inspector general investigation and subsequent findings. [pdf here – and full embed below] Having read her writings, and understanding that everything FISC is classified, it is possible to see between the lines she writes.

Every signer of the FISA warrants needs to be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law and jailed: Comey, Yates, Rosenstein, et al.
Levin pointed out that his Landmark Legal notified the court in April 2017 that there were screwups that needed to be investigated.
Why now, Judge?
Unless she and other FISC judges have had their heads in the sand or were hoping their silence would make the issue go away, why now?
Rumors and commentaries that the ‘pee dossier’ was fake and was paid opposition research have been circulating for 3 years now. Why didn’t at least one FISC judge raise any concerns before this latest report?
They and the various other ‘Obama’/Dem judges in the regular court system have brought shame to the entire court system.
“Don’t ever let me CATCH you doing that again.”

Levin presented her with a legal filing about taking action on the fraud presented to her court. She responded with lies.
Right you are! See post #25.
This will go nowhere unless Wray is thrown out.
THROW THE FISA WARRANT OUT, RESET THE ENTIRE GAME.
How many criminals walk today because they have a sleaze lawyer that gets this shit thrown out on a technicality ? ! !
“Some people did something “
Obama and his people committed great crimes. Judge Collyer facilitated the crimes and should be called to testify to Congress.
Not just this judge...
every one of those antiAmerican “Judges”
was in on the the treason and sedition.
impeach, remove their pensions, and jail AT LEAST
or America dies.
unless this sternly worded letter comes with handcuffs and a jar of prison lube, it means nothing.
I think we here on FR clearly get it, and to think: how many legit criminals are going to walk free because now every single FISA court warrant that's been obtained has been put into doubt thanks to the corruption at the top of the FBI, the Obama Administration's actions, etc.. etc.. etc..
The corruption is so pervasive at this point that legit criminals are going to walk free at some point.
To hear the media say it, President Trump has "undermined" the FBI.
That's bullshit. If anyone's undermined the FBI it's Obama, Comey, Mueller, McCabe, Strzok, Brennan and anyone else sitting in leadership at the FBI, CIA and other Intel agencies here in the U.S.
And I haven't even started on the Judges sitting in the FISA Courts simply rubber-stamping everything that's been brought to them! The whole FISA Court needs to get torn down and never rebuilt!!
That’s hilarious and true!! Phil Hartman (RIP) was genius with that character.
Zero. FISA warrants are never used in criminal proceedings.
Using a FSIA warrant in a criminal case (an inherently public proceeding) opens the FISA process up to examination, and that is not allowed.
I have found only one case where a FISA warrant was part of the process, and the warrant was protected from view by CIPA, Classified Information Procedures Act.
See 39. Why isn’t this a major scandal?
FISC Presiding Judge Rosemary Collyer is reacting far too late, only now when the FISC judges are worried about their court being abolished, causing them to lose their $200K/year do-nothing rubber stamp “jobs.” [They approve 99.8% of all applications, meaning, they don’t even read them.]
