The FISA Warrant, How Damaging to the Ds in the Midterms?

I was wondering how much opinions differed

Not much.

Democrat Party adherents know that the FISA courts are corrupt and a very useful tool for their party purposes.

Most Americans who are not insider-Democrats have no idea what "FISA" means.

I'm sure if you set yourself on fire no one would give a fuck.

It won't make any difference at all. Definitely not based on what happened in Pennsylvania a few weeks ago, when Repugs couldn't even win a district that they gerrymandered beyond all fucking recognition.

Bush definitely didn't know what FISA meant....he used all the major phone companies (except Qwest) to illegally wiretap the phones of millions of Americans for years after 9/11. Funny how all you dishonest Repugs have already forgotten about that.

That is an easy test. The first check will be to what degree the Left laughs it off as a total non-starter. If they do, then you know we've got them by the short hairs. Then all the rest is up to the GOP to pursue it properly. If they go after it smartly and aggressively, then it can crush them. But the GOP is often amazingly unsmart and unagressive for a major political party, almost like sometimes they don't want to win, whereas the Democrats ALWAYS do. We shall see.

You probably shouldn't pretend to know what democrats think.

The FISA Courts are not corrupt. No one who knows anything about FISA warrants thinks they are. I'll also point out that it was baby bush who loved the FISA warrants so much.

You're proof of why it's so important for schools to start teaching civics again.

Yep, you've got us in quite a moral dilemma, goober.

zero effect on the dems

the loons that think this is true are for the most part confined to gerrymandered districts in flyover country

It also depends on whether the culprits roll over on donors or office holders. Donors are more important in buying votes for the Ds than the bribe recipients.

Considering that the Republicans just renewed the FISA program- and Trump signed it into law- I am guessing not much.

 

[BluesLegend]

Nothing burger. Most voters don't even know what a FISA warrant is and knowing government it will take 2 years for the 'investigation' to report anything.

 

[The Original Tree]

At least The IG and his Prosecutor are finally looking in to FISA abuses directly.

just shy of zero damage.

Thank you for agreeing with me that most Americans (non-Democrats by definition) do not have any idea what "FISA" means.

As to Democrat Party Adherents having the ability to think....well there may be a small vestigal bit of tissue that might do so were The Party to allow it......

So why didn't you care when Bush was illegally wiretapping millions of Americans, Repug goober?

The mid-term elections are still light years away in political terms. Democrats and Progressives are running out of places to hide.

DOJ Inspector General reviews alleged FISA abuses by DOJ, FBI

The Office of the Inspector General released a statement Wednesday outlining the start of the review.

“The OIG will initiate a review that will examine the Justice Department’s and the Federal Bureau of Investigation’s compliance with legal requirements, and with applicable DOJ and FBI policies and procedures, in applications filed with the U.S. Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court (FISC) relating to a certain U.S. person,” the statement obtained by Fox News read. “As part of this examination, the OIG also will review information that was known to the DOJ and the FBI at the time the applications were filed from or about an alleged FBI confidential source.”

The OIG statement added that Horowitz also would “review the DOJ’s and FBI’s relationship and communications with the alleged source as they relate to the FISC applications.”

The statement continued, “If circumstances warrant, the OIG will consider including other issues that may arise during the course of the review.”

Last month, Sessions directed Horowitz to probe the allegations of government surveillance abuse, in light of memos released on Capitol Hill by the House Intelligence Committee about FBI and DOJ efforts to obtain FISA warrants to surveil Trump campaign adviser Carter Page.

Trumpkin conspiracy theorists remain deeply disappointed.

As always.
