Congrats to the Intel Committee for releasing the Summary of Evidence regarding the Abuses of the DOJ, FBI, and Mueller regarding FISA Warrants. If the memo is as advertised, they could be in SERIOUS trouble.
Even if EVERYTHING in the Summary is 100% TRUE...even if the FBI and DOJ come out and admit that everything in that memo is accurate and happened as it says it did, The Intel Committee are not a bunch of 'heroes' in exposing crime / corruption within our own govt's most trusted agencies.
IF TRUE, THEY ARE GUILTY OF HEINOUS 'MIS-CONDUCT', OF ENABLING THOSE CRIMES / ABUSES TO CONTINUE...AND SHOULD BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR THEIR ACTIONS JUST AS MUCH!
Several weeks ago Congress held discussions and then a vote on a massive expansion of FISA. If they knew about and had evidence of massive ABUSES / CRIMINAL VIOLATIONS of FISA and intentionally withheld that information until after the vote to pass the expansion was over, they are guilty of heinous misconduct that should be severely punished!
Judge Andrew Napolitano: If the GOP memo is as advertised we’ll see the deep state at its most frightening
"I have argued for a few weeks now that House Intelligence Committee members have committed misconduct in office by concealing evidence of spying abuses by the National Security Agency and the FBI. They did this by sitting on a four-page memo that summarizes the abuse of raw intelligence data while Congress was debating a massive expansion of FISA.
FISA is the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act of 1978, which was written to enable the federal government to spy on foreign agents here and abroad. Using absurd and paranoid logic, the secret Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court, which only hears the government’s lawyers, has morphed "foreign intelligence surveillance" into undifferentiated bulk surveillance of all Americans.
Undifferentiated bulk surveillance is the governmental acquisition of fiber-optic data stored and transmitted by nearly everyone in America. This includes all telephone conversations, text messages and emails, as well as all medical, legal and financial records.
Ignorant of the hot potato on which the House Intelligence Committee had been sitting, Congress recently passed and President Donald Trump signed a vast expansion of spying authorities -- an expansion that authorizes legislatively the domestic spying that judges were authorizing on everyone in the U.S. without individual suspicion of wrongdoing or probable cause of crime; an expansion that passed in the Senate with no votes to spare; an expansion that evades and avoids the Fourth Amendment; an expansion that the president signed into law the day before we all learned of the House Intelligence Committee memo."
This FISA expansion would NEVER have passed if the abuses outlined in the Summary of Evidence had been made known before the vote!
