There are probably as few as offended as I am by government surveillance, and distrusting of federal law enforcement.

There are probably few that have been following this as closely as I.

This said, there a couple of points JT is making that are worthy of consideration. And there are a few places where both Gowdy and Nunes are slightly off base.

Down vote away. But I'd at least consider these things.

My man!

Seriously, flagrant law-breaking abuses by law enforcement types is terrible. Some might say rampant. I'm no fan of how the FBI has set up people for terrorist plots, for instance, by basically entrapping them. Simply to put some bogus anti terror statistics on the books.

The fisa court has always been a rubber stamp wing of the IC. That should change. It isn't changing for at least 6 years because of a bill sponsored by Devin Nunes and passed easily by congress.

There's nothing unique or criminal about this warrant app. The FBI will push the limits of what they can get away with and the court is going to accommodate as much as they can. It is what it is. The investigation was already ongoing.

Carter Page is/was probably some type of spook. I don't think that precludes him from being surveilled by his own team. In fact, they were probably suspicious of him pulling some double agent stuff. I really don't know. He's an enigma.

Whatever, the OP went full fake news when his points could have been made without it. If he wants to undermine his wonderful work with that kinda stuff, that's his prerogative.
