FISA Court Neck Deep In Surveillance On Trump Campaign, Knew Of Application Issues, Report Carmine Sabia By Carmine Sabia Published December 26, 2019 at 9:49am
The Deep State is a real thing, and with each new report or finding we discover that it is deeper than any of us have imagined.
In the most recent case, it appears that the FISA courts were aware that the applications to spy on Carter Page, an aide with President Donald Trump’s campaign.
After the report of Inspector General Michael Horowitz, the head of the FISA courts, Judge Rosemary Collyer, ripped into the FBI for what it did.
“The FBI’s handling of the Carter Page applications, as portrayed in the [Office of the inspector general] report, was antithetical to the heightened duty of candor described above.
“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,” the judge said.

But that could have just been a smokescreen to avoid getting heat on herself and the courts as it has now been found that the courts were notified of the issues with the applications beginning in 2016.
NSA Director Admiral Mike Rogers made it known to the court that there were issues with the way the NSA was complying with minimization procedure.
That occurred on, October 24, 2016, notable as it was a mere three days that the FISA court approved a warrant to spy on Page, The Epoch Times reported.
“On October 24, 2016, the government orally apprised the Court of significant non-compliance with the NSA’s minimization procedures involving queries of data acquired under Section 702 using U.S. person identifiers. The full scope of non-compliant querying practices had not been previously disclosed to the Court,” it said. Is the Deep State against Trump?

“Two days later, on the day the Court otherwise would have had to complete its review of the certifications and procedures, the government made a written submission regarding those compliance problems … and the Court held a hearing to address them,” it said.
“The government reported that the NSA IG and OCO were conducting other reviews covering different time periods, with preliminary results suggesting that the problem was widespread during all periods under review,” it said.
The FISA court was unaware of the FISA “query” violations until they were presented to the court by then-NSA Director Rogers.
The NSD and FBI knew Rogers was conducting his own compliance review. Rogers knew the NSD was finalizing its 2016 certification. The NSD was aware that its 2016 certification lacked material and legally required disclosure.
The NSD carries the “responsibility of overseeing the foreign intelligence, counterintelligence and other national security activities of the United States Intelligence Community.” Duties include “representing the government before the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court (FISC).”
Additionally, the Operations Section of the NSD is “responsible for preparing and filing all applications for Court orders pursuant to FISA.” The original Page FISA application, along with the three subsequent renewals, carried a signature page from a DOJ attorney, whose name was redacted, but is almost certainly associated with the NSD.
The Deep State runs deep and it makes one wonder if this entire scheme had the involvement of the courts too.
Ping to the Knish list. The most intellectually astute bloc of political investigators on the web.
Why hasn’t the court revoked the illegally obtained warrants? Hint they are part of the deep state never Trump movement.
FISA Court Neck Deep In Surveillance On Trump Campaign

And so are some of the GOP Senators.......
The Chief Justice has not moved to reform the FISA court, for which he is personally and totally responsible. This alone precludes him from sitting at the Trump impeachment in the Senate. He is a fact witness to the corruption the Senate case must investigate.
Of course it did. It doesn't make anyone wonder!
Hey judge, if you are as you say, why no bench warrant to call in these bad faith actors and flush em out? Fix what they broke?
But nothing. That would introduce very problematic evidence of the complicit court.

Then Roberts should have to resign his position on the SC.
And it wasn’t and still isn’t just the Trump campaign and presidency. It’s what our FBI, CIA,and NSA, do with our taxpayer funded activities. They serve the deep state shadow government, using compromised elected politicians of both parties to launder money and conduct counterintelligence operations on the American public in bread and circuses tradition.
Agreed. This Bush appointed justice rewrote ObamaCare for the sole purpose to give it SC approval! Since when is it the purview of the SC to write/rewrite law?
And, as you state, he is THE man in-charge of the FISC. Nunes filed his notice to the FISC two years ago. Roberts was well aware of this and the evidence Nunes provided. Roberts and the FISC did nothing.
Now, after the IG report the chief FISC judge issues a weak response and Roberts is completely MIA on the entire debacle. Now some may say well he’s quietly waiting for the case against FISC to unfold.
If it was justice Thomas I would entertain this. But, because it’s ObamaCare Roberts I do not give him this benefit of the doubt. I simply do not trust that man at all.
D.C. is nothing but a crime syndicate
A man that claims to be a prophet,( and he’s been right a whole lot)named Kim Clement, has prophesied back in 2007 that Trump would be elected and then re elected and have 5, count em 5, SCOTUS appointments. He said 3 of them would be for impeachemnt. We have 4 more years to find out.
FISA Court is involved in the crime. They had a duty to correct and never did. Then they denied they knew until more evidence came out. Judge collyer is fully complicit. Not the only Judge either. Roberts is totally involved because he is the boss. The buck stops there.Start making arrests. That will open up the dialog.
Post #10 agree 100+%
Bench warrants
And so are some of the GOP Senators.......<<
Yup!...but as a former republican...Id like to see them swinging from a rope slightly higher then the democrats beside them...it might send a message...
Bench Warrants would be useless. They only compel one to appear in court. Not a charge, in and of itself. Who would preside. It looks like the entire court is compromised. Impeach Roberts and the FISA Judges who are in the loop. It would be a good start.
Yes. Remember the text between Strzok and Page about their buddy ‘Rudy’ on the FISA Court?
