Barr announces new FISA restrictions
By Kaelan Deese - 09/01/20 12:52 PM EDT
Attorney General William Barr issued two memos on Tuesday that would impose new restrictions on how his department would conduct surveillance on a candidate for a federal office, and their staff members.
The new restrictions come after President Trump has repeatedly criticized the process in which the FBI obtained a warrant from the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court (FISA) as it investigated Russia's interference in the last election.
The Justice Department Inspector General has also issued a report criticizing how the department applied for a warrant to surveil former Trump campaign staffer Carter Page. The report concluded that information that should have been a part of the application was not included.

They didn't follow the previous restrictions.
Start putting people in jail for their failure to do so and maybe there will be fewer abuses.
