Most of these people will have trials by military law, so this will not save them from hanging! Military Law doesn't function the same as Federal Law..These people are stupid!
Yeah, I was thinking about that too, I wonder, if that indeed did happen, if any law enforcement would actually stop it. Nothing will protect them in my imho.
Ex-FISA court chief defends DOJ, FBI for handling of Carter Page surveillance applications
U.S. District Judge John Bates, who once led the U.S. Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court, defended the Justice Department and embattled intelligence community for how it handled the application process to obtain warrants to spy on onetime Trump campaign aide Carter Page. Bates, who was placed on the FISA court by Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts and was its presiding judge from 2009 to 2013, said he has seen no evidence lending credibility to Republican concerns that officials misled the court in obtaining a 2016 FISA warrant and three renewals. "I will note and note with some force that I have seen nothing that indicates that the court was misled, that the Department of Justice or the intelligence community made misrepresentations to the court," Bates told Lawfare podcast co-hosts David Kris and Nates Jones, the founders of the Culper Partners consulting firm. "And not only have I seen nothing that would indicate that, I have heard nothing that persuasively makes that case."
Last February, the House Intelligence Committee, then led by Chairman Devin Nunes, R-Calif., released a memo asserting the so-called Trump dossier, which contained unverified claims about Trump's ties to Russia, was used by the FBI to help obtain the FISA warrants to spy on Page, but key information, including its author's anti-Trump bias and Democratic benefactors, was left out.
Republicans have often cited the use of the dossier as misinformation used to improperly monitor President Trump and his campaign during the months leading up to the 2016 presidential election while Democrats argued in a rebuttal memo that the FISA process was not abused and the DOJ and FBI "met the rigor, transparency, and evidentiary basis needed to meet FISA's probable cause requirement." In recent days, Nunes has called on FISC to hold the FBI accountable for misleading them about the dossier, arguing that not doing so would do further damage to the credibility of the FISA process. Last summer, the Justice Department took the unprecedented step of releasing more than 400 redacted pages of top-secret documents on the FISA warrant obtained to wiretap Page, who denies being a Russian agent, after Trump declassified their existence.
Bates said he supports greater transparency for the FISA process, including the release of FISC opinions and orders as long as proper considerations are made to protect such things as sources and methods, but warned against the release of application materials. He said such an act is "potentially dangerous," particularly for ongoing investigations. Bates also noted that FISC has been "pretty silent" on the Page controversy, which he attributed to "reticence" to comment on any matter that is arguably partisan and political.
