Finally, the court rebuked the FBI: FISA court slams FBI over surveillance applications, in rare public order

“In a rare public order Tuesday [12/17/2019], the chief judge of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court [FISC] strongly criticized the FBI over its surveillance-application process, giving the bureau until Jan. 10 to come up with solutions, in the wake of findings from Justice Department Inspector General Michael E. Horowitz. The order, from the court's presiding judge Rosemary M. Collyer, came just a week after the release of Horowitz's withering report about the wiretapping of Carter Page, a former campaign adviser to President Trump.”

Update Of 9/6/2018

Not only does this court not stand up when duped, today I learnt that the FISA court did not hold any  hearings when it approved or extended surveillance warrants (four total warrants) on a campaign advisor (Carter Page) of a presidential election campaign. Can you believe this rubber stamping! This is clearly dereliction of duty if not worse on part of the judges!

Another great article by Kimberley A. Strassel in the Wall Street Journal about Watergate II: What Was Bruce Ohr Doing? Justice releases some damning documents, but much of the truth is still classified.

Ms. Strassel is fast becoming the next Bernstein & Woodward (I blogged about this here)

Will The Judges Of The FISA Court Finally Call For An Investigation

From all the information and facts published so far about the abuse of the U.S. Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court with regards to the Trump campaign by the Obama Administration in collusion with the Clinton Campaign, it is high time that the duped judges on this court do everything in their own power to shed light on this affair!

I am not a law expert, but I am sure the judges of this court could initiate some form of review of the events or have officers of the court disciplined for their malfeasance etc.
