GOP lawmakers demand that 'alarming' memo on FISA abuses be made public

When anybody is actually CONVICTED, feel free to get back to me.

Carry on.

 

So basically you don’t care about abuse and spying illegally on Americans.

 

Exactly

 

You're on the right track here. Do you think you are getting across to your readers?

 

Trump's people walked into the surveillance .. Don't you understand that?

 

It makes Obama’s look bad and not Trump that’s why the liberal media is ignoring it.

 

“Release the memo and watch the rats run away like the cowards they are. Your mind is about to blown, and your eyes open, to both the power of the federal govt, and the vengefulness of an Obama administration hellbent on destroying Trump.” ~ Dan Bongino

 

See post #49

 

Do you not understand that Trump's people walked into the surveilance of the Russian embassy?

 

Good Lord, you still have no clue what the issue is. Read post #49.

 

Trump can't even crack a fart without the MSM going coo coo and you want him to do what, Grassley told him to stay out of this and he's doing that.

 

I'm so glad that you and Tererun have seen what the committee has already seen and you're so kind to offer your opinion on all the documents to everyone here so we can be so well informed. Thanks so much.

 

Still not aware what the issue is? See post #49.

 

FISA is for foreign spies inside the US.. If you are an unregistered representative for a foreign government and have obtained security clearance based on a pack of lies, you have walked into the surveillance.

The standard is only slightly higher for an American like Manafort.

Approval of a FISA application requires the court find probable cause that the target of the surveillance be a "foreign power" or an "agent of a foreign power", and that the places at which surveillance is requested is used or will be used by that foreign power or its agent.

 

The documents aren't going to be a problem........ Release them.

 

Cool story I’m sure all these guys are so shocked because they were on the phone with RUSSIANS. Good luck, what your going to find it had nothing to do with those nasty Russians lol

 

For some reason your Dems in congress don’t want that at all. Things that make you go hmm

 

To follow up on Hoosier's post, once FISA is approved then this:

Three degrees of separation: breaking down the NSA's 'hops' surveillance method

You don’t need to be talking to a terror suspect to have your communications data analysed by the NSA. The agency is allowed to travel “three hops” from its targets – who could be people who talk to people who talk to people who talk to you. Facebook, where the typical user has 190 friends, shows how three degrees of separation gets you to a network bigger than the population of Colorado. How many people are three “hops” from you?

The US has always monitored communications in and out of Russian Embassies world wide..

Trump's people are simply stupid..

 

Feinstein jacked a Senate Judiciary Committee investigation by unilaterally releasing a transcript of testimony given behind closed doors.

Why can't Republicans follow her lead here?

Just leak it. That's what Democrats do.

 

Yeah uh..... that didn’t go down like that. There actually is no email, it was supposedly said in person. Not even 100% sure she said it.

 

Good idea.... Stop all the bluffing and innuendo.

 

Because it's classified.
The memo will be released unless Trump stops it. Once the committee voted to release, which they did, Trump has 5 days to respond. He can block it's release should he choose by not declassifying it or he could do nothing and it will then be released.
In the meantime, Republicans get 5 days to use their entire repertoire of button words like horrifying, scandalous, nausiating, blockbuster et al aimed at setting the tone. It's the old "In my hand" bit all over again. Even if it turns out to be nothing their grandstanding has saved Trump from another week of being bashed for saying and doing ignorant things.

 

Of course Trump could release it now. No one is "blocking" it's release, there's just some who don't believe it should be for whatever reason, they're not saying.

 

What I am saying is you are right they did exactly that. However the patriot act gives them the authority to do it. It is not them acting against the law they are within the law when they do that because the patriot act is a horrible attack on private citizens.
