Lynch could have surveilled Trump for 7 days prior to FISA warrant rejection

Looks like Cankles is in trouble.

Bump

Agreed, to name Lynch as the probable source of this.


But of course we know She didn't do it without permission.

(5) In the event that such application for approval is denied, or in any other case where the electronic surveillance is terminated and no order is issued approving the surveillance, no information obtained or evidence derived from such surveillance shall be received in evidence or otherwise disclosed in any trial, hearing, or other proceeding in or before any court, grand jury, department, office, agency, regulatory body, legislative committee, or other authority of the United States, a State, or political subdivision thereof, and no information concerning any United States person acquired from such surveillance shall subsequently be used or disclosed in any other manner by Federal officers or employees without the consent of such person, except with the approval of the Attorney General if the information indicates a threat of death or serious bodily harm to any person.

I'm trying to understand the larger point you are trying to make.

I'm sure they took advantage of the opportunity to spy on Trump. It was a tough election after all.

quote:

---

(1) Notwithstanding any other law, the President, through the Attorney General, may authorize electronic surveillance without a court order under this subchapter to acquire foreign intelligence information for periods of up to one year if the Attorney General certifies in writing under oath that—
(A) the electronic surveillance is solely directed at—
(i) the acquisition of the contents of communications transmitted by means of communications used exclusively between or among foreign powers, as defined in section 1801(a)(1), (2), or (3) of this title; or
(ii) the acquisition of technical intelligence, other than the spoken communications of individuals, from property or premises under the open and exclusive control of a foreign power, as defined in section 1801(a)(1), (2), or (3) of this title;
(B) there is no substantial likelihood that the surveillance will acquire the contents of any communication to which a United States person is a party; and
(C) the proposed minimization procedures with respect to such surveillance meet the definition of minimization procedures under section 1801(h) of this title; and
if the Attorney General reports such minimization procedures and any changes thereto to the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence and the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence at least thirty days prior to their effective date, unless the Attorney General determines immediate action is required and notifies the committees immediately of such minimization procedures and the reason for their becoming effective immediately.

It seems here there are (legal) ways around FISA. Of course, if I am reading this correctly, they would have to inform the "Gang of Eight" on the Intelligence Committee in Congress. Also, the attorney general has to write an opinion under oath making the case that the wiretap met the conditions outlined in the subsections.

Perhaps a lawyer here can clarify whether Trump or his associates would fall under this statute.

Only after immediate notification to a FISA judge and then subsequent application.

What's the problem here?

Most warrant/wiretapping laws provide from cases where exigent circumstances exist. The fruits of the search are worthless if the judge does not ultimately sign off.

The problem is that Loretta Lynch could have spied on the future President, during a campaign, without even getting a warrant.

In criminal cases perhaps but a political campaign is a bit different. You leak what you discover and reap the rewards.

It's so cute how you lying assholes are going to act like the only thing those sitting in power might derive or even want to derive from eavesdropping is legally actionable Intel.

Yeah. Let's just pretend that's all that opposition candidates might find useful when granted the ability to monitor on their opponents.

Sheesh you people are fricking scum.
