Will DOJ Probe Into FISA Abuses Just Go Through the Motions?
Written by C. Mitchell Shaw
Attorney General Jeff Sessions confirmed Tuesday that the Justice Department will investigate allegations that the Obama-era DOJ and FBI abused the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) to spy on the Trump campaign. But President Trump believes the probe could be sabotaged.
Sessions’ confirmation comes after his announcement February 18 on Fox News that his office would look into the claims of FISA abuses listed in the memo released by House Intelligence Committee Chairman Devin Nunes (R-Calif.). It also comes on the heels of the public release of the Democratic memo disputing the claims of the Nunes memo. The Democratic memo — authored by Representative Adam Schiff (D-Calif.) — claims that no such abuses ever took place. The facts, though, clearly favor the Republican memo, and Sessions has committed his office to getting to the bottom of the scandal.
