Barr Vows to Make Reforms to Surveillance Process Following Watchdog Report
The Epoch Times ^ | February 25, 2020 Updated: February 26, 2020 | Janita Kan

Attorney General William Barr met with Senate Republicans on Tuesday to convince them to support an expiring surveillance law, while telling them that he wants to make internal reforms to the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) warrant process.

Several GOP senators told reporters after a private caucus lunch that Barr was looking at steps to reform the FISA warrant application process internally to tighten standards on obtaining a warrant. The FISA warrant application process is at the center of a damning report by Inspector General Michael Horowitz on the surveillance of Trump campaign aide Carter Page during the 2016 presidential election.

The report, released on Dec. 9, 2019, concluded that the applications for FISA warrants on Page included 17 significant errors or omissions. Horowitz faulted the entire chain of command involved in the FBI investigation.

Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) told The Hill that Barr went over “his recommendations and some internal reforms about FISA warrant application and surveillance technology being used” during the meeting.

“He’s going to do some things that he can do,” he said. “I think he’s going to take a lot of what Horowitz did and add his own stamp to it.”

Meanwhile, Graham told Fox News that Barr committed to “clean up [the] mess” of what happened in 2016 while adding that “whether or not we need statutory changes I think is a subject of debate.”

The Justice Department did not immediately respond to The Epoch Times’ request to comment about what reforms the attorney general intends to make.

During a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing in December, Horowitz said many of the errors found in his investigation amounted to a failure that implicated the chain of command at the FBI responsible for handling the FISA applications, including senior officials.

Yeah, I know this is crushing to deal in reality and not LARP false internet gods but the FEC reviewed all the docs and gave MagaCoalition the thumb of approval. The PAC isn’t operating into the 2020 election.

All that nonsense you and a couple of others bot-push about criminal violations was nothing more than angry QAnon grifters retaliating for being exposed.

MagaCoalition will continue to be MAGA and covered the South Carolina primary. I saw part of it: pretty, pretty good.

Well, that’s like your opinion, Streisand. But it does give the effect, so thank you for that.

FAKE MAGA to prove FAKE MAGA? One trick pony. Again.

Is pimpin’ FAKE MAGA like your job or something? It is for Russian bot Agent POS, you know, Adam’s friend. :)

I won’t keep you from your work, besides, I had my bath last Saturday and I don’t want to get too dirty too soon enduring the political wisdom and strategic wizard gods of Hershey.

Keep preaching their gospel before their snake oil recipe for success changes yet again. You can surpass JME_FAN I’m sure, or can you?
