FISC Presiding Judge Rosemary Collyer Blasts FBI in Response to Evidence of FISA Fraud – Likely More Unreliable Applications…

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.

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?

FISC Presiding Judge Rosemary Collyer Blasts FBI PUBLICLY DEMANDS MORE bribe money TO KEEP QUIET in Response to Evidence of FISA Fraud

Otherwise it would have been a BENCH WARRANT for their Immediate Arrest

Likely More Unreliable Applications…

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.

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.

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.
