Lou Dobbs’ ‘blood boils’ at secret ‘Soviet-style’ way GOP joined Dems to pass FISA Court renewal
March 12, 2020 | Frieda Powers

Fox Business host Lou Dobbs slammed Republicans who joined House Democrats to reauthorize the FISA Court, saying it made his “blood boil.”

Dobbs vented about the 278-136 vote to reauthorize the secret Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act court process with Andrew McCarthy, former Assistant US Attorney for the Southern District of New York, during Wednesday’s “Lou Dobbs Tonight.”

“We don’t know whether we can call them reforms yet. There were no committee hearings or public discussion whatsoever. This secret court, a Soviet-like court system for the surveillance of supposedly foreigners on our soil. But it turns out to be a Soviet-style court system used in a Soviet-style way,” Dobbs said.

He mocked Attorney General William Barr’s comments applauding the resolution for “addressing past failures,” saying Americans still don;t know what those failures were.

“We haven’t seen a report. We haven’t seen anyone held to account for the fraudulent use of those courts,” Dobbs said.

“My blood boils to think that the attorney general and Christopher Wray, the director of the FBI, Mitch McConnell, the leader of the Republican-controlled Senate and [House Minority Leader] Kevin McCarthy and a number of his colleagues in the House voted with the Democrats to simply move this aside, effectively in the dead of night without a public hearing or a discussion or dialogue with the American people, and ignoring the president’s demand for reform before it’s reauthorized,” Dobbs said.
