FISA Court questions whether ‘information contained in other FBI applications is reliable’

Less than a week after Department of Justice Inspector General (IG) Michael Horowitz released his investigation detailing FBI misconduct in obtaining a FISA spy warrant on a Trump 2016 presidential campaign aide, the presiding judge of the FISA Court, Rosemary Collyer, issued a Four-Page Response Order on Dec. 17, 2019.

This unprecedented order by the FISA court condemned—and verified—ongoing wrongdoing by the FBI in the entire approach to the FISA process. Judge Collyer’s order also highlighted just how serious these breaches of conduct actually were, and the potential fallout that could result from the FBI’s actions.

  1. Every single lawyer and employee for the government that submitted fake information to the court should be held in contempt of the court and go straight to the calaboose. How about a $100,000 dollar fine and 10 years. I'm sure they would plead "good intentions" but that wouldn't get the rest of us a break.

  2. So the 'ketle', Rosemary, is calling the 'pot', the FBI, black?

    Wow! Who'd a thunk it.

    Stinks, to high Heaven, of pandering in an effort to preserve the un-Constitutional power and unholy beast that is the FISA court and system. If, IF, the judge had a shred of patriotism she would call out the entire system as an affront to our republic and call for congress to repeal the entire act.

    Y'all have a nice day.
