Criminal referral backs up Nunes on dossier claims, as Dems push rebuttal memo | Fox News
This is just going to keep getting worse until all of the source documents are revealed and transcripts of the proceedings are all made public. The way I see it there are only two possible outcomes and neither of them is good. Either the FISA court was misled about the evidence presented to grant the warrant or the threshold which must be met for such a warrant to be granted needs a thorough and complete overhaul.
Seriously, is anyone comfortable with a system which allows the work of political agents doing opposition research to be considered as credible evidence worthy of granting a warrant authorizing government surveillance of U.S. citizens? This is crazy!
To my knowledge, the Republicans haven't even recommended a review of FISA due to this dossier argument. The Reps, and Dems, only recently voted in a super majority to continue FISA as is. Given the gravity of everything the Republicans are alleging, why aren't they recommending changes to the FISA warrant procedure or holding anyone accountable? A serious comedy of Much Ado About Nothing, with all the attendant trickery.
