‘Lack of Candor’ Cited Before in Surveillance Requests by Obama Administration
Fred Lucas / @FredLucasWH / February 14, 2018 / 0 Comments
Judge Rosemary M. Collyer of the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia, a member of the FISA court, signed the reprimand. It said the court learned in October 2016 that analysts at the National Security Agency were conducting prohibited databases searches “with much greater frequency than had previously been disclosed to the court.”
The FISA court’s report criticized the NSA’s Office of Inspector General and the NSA’s Office of Compliance for Operations with “an institutional lack of candor” and described the matter as raising “very serious Fourth Amendment issues.”
The Fourth Amendment protects Americans from unreasonable search and seizure.
The NSA gathers both “upstream” and “downstream” data. “Upstream” data collection is information captured through the internet or broad data fields. “Downstream” data is information that moves outside the country along specific fiber optic cables and satellite links.
What the court’s finding characterized as illegal searches were those NSA made of “upstream” data, which are more likely to contain emails and phone calls of people throughout the United States, whether citizens or not.
Obama named Navy Adm. Michael Rogers as director of the National Security Agency in 2014; Rogers continues to serve in the Trump administration.

Not sure the timeline…
So did she sign the FISA warrant after knowing their were issues or before I wonder.
Strzok-Page texts reveal personal relationship between FBI official and judge recused from Flynn case
http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2018/03/16/strzok-page-texts-reveal-personal-relationship-between-fbi-official-and-judge-recused-from-flynn-case.html
The federal judge who presided over former National Security Adviser Michael Flynn’s case last year before mysteriously being recused had a personal relationship with anti-Trump FBI official Peter Strzok, according to text mesages obtained and reviewed by Fox News.
The revelations about U.S. District Court Judge Rudolph Contreras are found in a new batch of text messages between Strzok and his FBI paramour, Lisa Page.
Contreras was appointed to the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court (FISC) in 2016, a topic of conversation between Strzok and Page.
“Rudy is on the FISC! Did you know that?” Page texted Strzok on July 25, 2016. “Just appointed two months ago.”
“I did," Strzok replied. "We talked about it before and after. I need to get together with him.”

“I did," Strzok replied. "We talked about it before and after. I need to get together with him.”
Strzok investigated matters of counterintelligence at the FBI, which typically went through the FISC.
Texts reflect Page asking why Strzok hadn’t told her about Contreras being on the FISC. Strzok said he thought he had shared the information.
In the texts, Strzok mentioned "a graduation party" he and Contreras both recently attended.
He also texted about the important of "being circumspect in talking to him in terms of not placing him into a situation where he’d have to recuse himself.”
Page replied that she couldn’t “imagine either one of you could talk about anything in detail meaningful enough to warrant recusal.”
Page added: “Standards for recusal are quite high. I just don’t think this poses an actual conflict. And he doesn’t know what you do?”
