CIRCA 2018---In trudging through the FISA document that came to light, it was discovered that Obama's National Security Agency (then-headed by Susan Rice) had been illegally conducting searches on people in the US. The document has gone on to state that those illegal searches, which were conducted under Obama amounted to a whopping 85% of the total searches involving US person identifiers.

House Intelligence Committee Chairman Devin Nunes, R-Calif., revealed the existence of a “fourth bucket” of information related to potential misconduct by the FBI that he wants declassified.
On his way out as chairman, as Democrats will take control of the House next year, Nunes said his panel’s investigation into the Justice Department and FBI is largely complete. Still, he said the public release of these “buckets” would help give his efforts a sense of “finality.”
Speaking with anchor Maria Bartiromo on her Fox News program “Sunday Morning Futures,” Nunes said the first of three “buckets” were the Russia-related documents President Trump walked back from declassifying earlier this year.
The last tranche of documents, he said, pertains to emails showing knowledge about withholding information from the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act court.
“The new fourth bucket that we’re asking to be declassified now is — for months we have been reviewing emails between FBI, and DOJ, and others that clearly show that they knew about information that should have been presented to the FISA court,” he said.
Nunes added that House Speaker Paul Ryan, R-Wis., has been pressing the Justice Department to hand over emails and make as many public as possible. As has been a point of frustration in the past, Nunes complained that the DOJ has redacted some information, even in classified settings.
“We continue to work with the DOJ on ensuring Congressional oversight requests are fulfilled,” Ryan spokeswoman AshLee Strong told the Washington Examiner in an email.
A spokesperson for the Justice Department did not immediately return a request for comment.
Oh, good grief! This type of misinformation is why the breadth and scope of this domestic political spying mosntrosity continues to be misunderstood. Susan Rice, as the national security advisor, had NOTHING to do with the National Security Agency. The latter NSA falls under the Pentagon, and was led by Admiral Rogers - who actually blew the whistle on illegal use of NSA (the latter) databases and tools by FBI contractors. These contractors “exfiltrated” and used unredacted information on US persons for political 9pposition research. ADM Rogers cut off their access, which is why the FISA court was turned to, using the spurious Steele dossier. Read Judge Rosemary Collier’s report on F*SA abuses.
