Tell that to Manafort, Cohen, Flynn and Stone.
Without the false and corrupt FISA warrant, there would have been no investigations of them at all.
They would face no charges nor prison time.
Is it not illegal to present false evidence to a FISA court?
Dobtful, unless they are spying on other Republicans. The FBI was a Deep State Leftist group.
Blasts the FBI???
I think to call it blasting, there should have been bench warrants. It’s getting pretty old that each time someone is caught actually breaking the law (with the exception of POTUS, of course), the fix is “issuing a review” to find the problems.
The problems are simple to find. Some people broke the law. The problem is easy to fix. Send the people that broke the law to jail.
Done.
I think the FISA court needs a team of 3 constitutional rights lawyers that reviews requests and acts as a defense team for citizens before the court. And that team should be granted authority to independently confirm what’s being presented to the court. That way the court remains secret but there is some form of check and balance and some representation of defendant’s rights other than just the judge.
But the danger with any system like this is that they get too chummy with each other.
Like the 3 constitutional experts that testified at Nadler's sham hearing? My take would be to limit the FISC court to terrorism cases. That is an immediate threat. According to the IG report, the FBI ran CHS against Page and Papadopoulos. Both came back negative so they pushed for a FISA on Page.
There is zero congressional oversight of lower federal courts.
That must end. No oversight is an invitation to tyranny.
If only we could impeach Obama. Alas.
