They are both wrong.
I disagree with Trump that FISA should be killed. I disagree with Barr that it should simply be continued.
FISA needs major reforms and major penalties, criminal penalties. when it is abused.
HA
Penalties? Why??
Thus proven to be unenforceable. Comey—nah. Strok—nah.
Another way to hang the innocent and shield the guilty.
Trump isn't wrong. Trump wants to kill this version of the bill. I don't believe he has ruled out major reforms.
Your faith in the feral government is touching. They couldn't even restrain themselves with the incredibly weak guidelines are in place.
The government can never be trusted to police itself. Ever.
💯 Very thoughtful response
” FISA needs major reforms and major penalties, criminal penalties. when it is abused. “
FISA and the whole Five Eyes Surveillance State has never caught any terrorists. It is for Regime surveillance against their domestic enemies.
Kill them all. NSA, GCHQ, CSE. etc.
My first thought as well. There is a place for a FISA-like law but it must contain far stricter controls than the current abomination and also include very, very harsh consequences for misuse, consequences that range from long jail time to the death penalty. The clowns that falsified the FISA warrants that kicked off the ludicrous ‘Russia - Russia’ scandals should be worm food by now.
“FISA needs major reforms and major penalties, criminal penalties. when it is abused.”
Reforms that would be ignored by a corrupt FBI;
Penalties that would only be imposed on people who support Trump;
Criminal Penalties venued in Washington DC full of jurors who would never convict a democrat no matter how strong the evidence and would never acquit a MAGA Republican no matter how stupid the case or evidence.
Change my mind.
Replace ALL of the top brass at FBI and NSA then we can talk about re-authorization. Without that, forget it. They simply cannot be trusted to not use their vast powers against a political rival like Trump.
Fire them so Trump can start suing the crap out of them too.
Any Conservative who didn’t want the US to kick butt in the Middle East right after 9/11 2001. has no heart
Any Conservative who still can’t see that 9/11 was an inside job... after the Deep State orchestrated St Floyd riots (with pallets of bricks conveniently and strategically placed on city streets)....the DoD’s COVID military operation....the stolen election....the J6 Fedsurrection (which Dubya still has nightmares over)....and politicians screaming about how “disinformation” is a threat to democracy (”we need MORE deplatforming!!”)... has no brain
It was abused by the dirty folks at the FBI and CIA. It needs to be re-written so the Deep State can’t use it as a political tool. Bill Barr can go jump in a lake and sink to the bottom.
