NYT: FISA issues were just “low level employees” more “sloppy” than malice

And here we go....

quote:

A watchdog report will portray the pursuit of a wiretap of an ex-Trump adviser as sloppy


quote:

sharply criticize lower-level F.B.I. officials as well as bureau leaders involved in the early stages of the Trump-Russia investigation, but to absolve the top ranks of abusing their powers out of bias against President Trump, according to people briefed on a draft.

Yeah, I'm glad the FBI/DOJ sloppily used the FISA court to obtain ex parte surveillance orders to spy on American citizens. That makes it so much better.

If you actually read the nyt article, it is nothing but pre-emptive spin

It is information warfare designed to get you to lose interest in the actual report

We have to wait to read it

NYt outright admits they have not read the draft

Sloppy, lol. He texted “Viva la resistance” when released from Mueller’s team.. There’s other texts, with fear he’d get caught...

Probably no intent so no crime.

I'll wait and see. I don't need the Times or WaPo telling me how to think before we see it. But my expectations are low...we've already known Horowitz to be a toothless coward not seeking accountability.

It should be clear to everyone here that our President, Congress and the Judiciary are merely figureheads. The intelligence and national security apparati run this country. The figureheads in government are positioned simply to complete the illusion that our votes matter.

Yep. But, we can't allow the corrupt, bought-and-paid-for mainstream media to push their false narrative this time.

Y'all can trust Horowitz. But I won't.



Horowitz is the resistance.

There isn't anything "low level" about FISA warrants, the process, and those involved in requesting them. Most especially not "low level" when they involve associates of the Trump presidential campaign or any presidential campaign. Any political campaign period.

It is time to move the FBI HQs to Kansas.

Sara Carter and Greg Jarret pointing out that this lawyer specialized in counter intelligence surveillance applications - or FISA. Deals with violating Americans 4th amendment protections.

They are pointing out this isn’t a low level lawyer as is being portrayed. Plus he had a key role in all the DOJs biggest cases (Clinton, etc).

They go on to say that this leak 8 hours after Trumps appearance on Fox - where he talked about how bad this will be - isn’t a coincidence.
