Spy Court Picks FISA Abuse Denier To Tackle FISA Abuse

The appointment of a former official who served as an apologist for the FBI signals that the court isn't particularly concerned about the civil liberty violations catalogued by Inspector General Michael Horowitz.

JANUARY 12, 2020

The nation’s top spy court appointed an Obama-era Justice Department official who has denied and downplayed FBI surveillance abuse to assess the FBI’s response to a scathing new report cataloguing problems with how the agency secured authority to spy on a Donald Trump campaign affiliate.

The Shadowy Gubamint aka ‘Deep State’ Complex seems to have a deathwish for this nation, its Constitution and it remaining free from the grips of tyranny masquerading as political and judidcial warriors for freedom.

You can’t make this up! David Kris, a highly controversial former DOJ official, was just appointed by the FISA Court to oversee reforms to the FBI’s surveillance procedures. Zero credibility. THE SWAMP!

They have no intention of dismantling FISA or the other structures in place that were used to launch an attempted coup.

If I were betting, I'd say the value was not in protecting the US from threats so much as protecting the institution known as the Deep State from the rest of us.

This guy was appointed by the judge picked by Chief Justice Roberts to head up the FISC.

We’re going to need a big one.

HRC is STILL running DOJ.

Everybody’s dirt in DC collectively outweighs ALL her and Bills baggage

Me, too. I am SO in agreement with your post!

Just when I think we might be getting to the root, it goes deeper.

This is the deep state giving the finger to anyone that opposes these goons. They are as evil as the old Soviet NKVD/KGB. Yet are so arrogant they refuse to realize how they are looked upon by their employers, the voters. They will continue their arrogance until one day the streets here in the USA look like Tehran with the people who have had enough of these arrogant aholes.

What’s funny is the deep state goons stupidly ran to the left to support their criminal behavior and the left hates their guts. The conservatives who for 75 years backed the intel/fed law enforcement now knows part of what the left has claimed is true, the intel/DOJ is dirty as the shitty bed of a man with dysentery. When all is said and done they will be hated by all sides, the corrupt arrogant fools.
