It’s Official, The FISA Court is Compromised – Presiding Judge James Boasberg Hires Former DOJ-NSD Head, Mary McCord, as Amici Curiae to Advise The Court

The FISA Court is Compromised

I hate to write this, but there is just no good way to look at this. The Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court, specifically Presiding Judge James Boasberg, has hired former DOJ National Security Division head, Mary McCord, as amici curiae advisor to the court. [LINK] The placement was first noted by an announcement from Georgetown Law ICAP. Presiding Judge James Boasberg, is the decision-maker in the appointment of Amici Curiae to the FISA court. There is no way, NO WAY, Judge Boasberg does not know Mary McCord was at the epicenter of the fraudulent FISA application used against Carter Page. Remember, in addition to being the FISC Presiding Judge, Boasberg was also the trial judge in the case against Kevin Clinesmith, the FBI lawyer who lied about Page working for the CIA on the FISA application. {Go Deep}

Boasberg knows Mary McCord took over from former DOJ-NSD head John Carlin (October 2016); and it was McCord who guided the Carter Page FISA application through the court and across the finish-line (October 2016 and January 2017). That FISA application was built upon fraud and Mary McCord was at the center of it.

Mary McCord was also the DOJ-NSD official who went with Sally Yates to confront the White House Counsel, Don McGhan, about the Michael Flynn interview with the FBI. {Go Deep} It was also Mary McCord who had Michael Atkinson as the chief-legal-counsel for the DOJ-NSD -that’s her office attorney- when the FISA application was submitted in October 2016, and renewed in January 2017.

Michael Atkinson went from DOJ-NSD counsel to become the Intelligence Community Inspector General (ICIG). {Go Deep}

The FISA court was created to be compromised.

At the time it was formed, some here saw this coming.

Was it W’s plan? I doubt it, but he is clearly a part of it now.

I was opposed to the FISA court from inception. It was ripe for corruption.

secret courts are anathema to america

True. That's why they now exist. FISA courts are a built-in rubber stamp to provide cover for the government.

“FISA/FISC generally operates under the supervision of the Chief Justice of the USSC(?)

https://epic.org/privacy/surveillance/fisa/fisc/

Electronic Privacy Information CenterDefend Privacy.

The Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court (FISC) was established by Congress in the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) of 1978. The role of the FISC is to provide judicial oversight of Intelligence Community activities in a classified setting. The FISC is composed of federal judges appointed by the Chief Justice of the U.S. Supreme Court, and its decisions can be reviewed by the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court of Review (FISCR) and the Supreme Court.

After the FISA Amendments Act of 2008, the FISC has to rule on important and novel Fourth Amendment issues raised by the government’s proposed targeting and minimization procedures. Most of the FISC’s orders and filings are highly classified, but, after the USA Freedom Act, any significant legal interpretations by the court must be made public.

Yep, he appoints Deep State Buddies and is in the clear.

99.99% of Americans have no idea what FISA/FISC even means.
