Who is surprised?
Foreign: anyone who doesn't live a blue rat hole city.
A truly free republic cannot tolerate secret courts such as FISA. Once the architecture for suppression of liberty is in place it is only a matter of time before government will employ it for tyranny.
“May have”?
No more FISA and full criminal review of ALL warrantless searches of American citizens under the guise of the Patriot Act.
This must stop. The constitution is being ripped to shreds and NO law enforcement agency should do this.
I hope they spy on him again. He refuses to do anything more than snivel in a hearing. Did he vote no on giving the FBI/Stasi a giant new multibillion dollar HQ? Did he vote to renew FISA?
If he voted yes on either, then he deserves to get spied on more.
If the FISA court was a Real Court and the FISA Judges were actually real judges, all these FBI, DOJ Frauds and Liars would have been LOCKED UP for contempt and referred by the Court for Criminal Prosecution for these actions. In other words, they are ALL ON THE TAKE!
It’s a government of the government, by the government, and for the government. Congress and POTUS who disagree are just elected officials to be spied upon and suppressed. They don’t want the people’s opinion, just your money.
LaHood voted YES. Consequences.....
U.S. House Bill 6172
Renew foreign surveillance authorization
To renew provisions of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance
Act (FISA) that permit the federal government to collect business records and other information during national security investigations without a warrant. The FISA law allows a federal judge to approve such collections without notifying the target or hearing opposing arguments. The bill would also to expand the circumstances that require FISA judges to hear from a government-appointed critic of such requests, and increasing the number of FISA courts.
Passed 278 to 136 in the U.S. House of Representatives on March 10th, 2020
Enough with ‘may’.
Any evidence of such merits immediate defunding of the fib pursuant to a long overdue prosecution of the players (and leaders).
The FBI now operates like the KGB, protecting “deep state” interests against anyone or anything they see threatening those interests. They are apparently above the law now and have the blessings of our corrupt DOJ. Our entire bureaucracy needs to be cleansed of these corrupt and evil people or our country is screwed. Actually it may already be too late.
Didn’t Soetero use FISA against Trump?
“May?”
A commentator on the Turkey website coined Wokesheviks as these fascists should be called.
Great name for them. The government is infested with Wokesheviks.
Feelings of 1939 rumbling among many
Disband and completely un-fund the FBI. Let our legislative representatives propose any new replacement agency. Since the FBI spends most of its resources on political operations, it will no longer cause any risk to the public to get rid of them. Quite the contrary really.
the FBI searched the name of a local political party and the name of a congressman, despite not being “reasonably likely” to reveal foreign intelligence or evidence of a crime.
