   FISA Hawks Lee, Leahy Say ‘Damning’ Horowitz FBI Audit ‘Makes Clear Our Work Is Not Done’
By Tobias Hoonhout

April 1, 2020 3:39 PM
 

Senators Patrick Leahy (D., Vt.) and Mike Lee (R., Utah) said Wednesday that “damning” evidence of widespread FISA abuse uncovered in an ongoing audit of the FBI’s application process proves that “our work is not done” as the Senate prepares to consider an extension of expiring FISA powers in the coming months.

In light of a report released Tuesday showing systemic abuses within the foreign surveillance process, Leahy and Lee announced that they will propose an amendment to “ensure” that government agencies hand over all evidence — including potentially exculpatory evidence — in future FISA applications. The amendment will be added to the “USA FREEDOM Extension and Amici Curiae Reform Act,” which Lee and Leahy introduced last month to enact “significant” reforms of the FISA legal adviser process, including the appointment of an a special expert in privacy and civil liberties to help boost protections for U.S. citizens.

The Feebs won't follow laws that are currently written, so I don't expect new laws to have any effect.

It will be interesting to read how Lee builds "Damming" abuse from "lack of confidence".... right..

I'd be more optimistic if it wasn't two #NeverTrumpers pushing this amendment.

  • I was a "conspiracy theorist". Now I'm just right.

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

What good are new laws when no one was thrown in jail or even fired for breaking the old ones?

Asshat idiots.
