repost from a few breads ago.
pretty interesting theory and plays nicely with
>>6011169 Was There Approved FISA Surveillance on General Michael Flynn?…
Interdasting take on FISA works both ways

sure it can.
It already has been - that's the majority of the 'evidence' that prompted Mueller's SC.
You are mistaken.
What cannot be used is raw NSA data gathering.
FISA is explicitly FOR investigation/prosecution of spying, external threats against the US, treason, etc.
incorrect.
That's precisely what makes the FISA courts so extremely dangerous - and essentially unconstitutional.
FISA warrants CAN be targeting US citizens if they are suspected of certain crimes.
It's a moot point anyway as the FISA warrants aren't against specific targeted individuals - they're against Flynn, Page, PapaD, etc. - and they're allowed to collect all data from not just the targeted individual and whom they're speaking to - but to anybody whom the target speaks to - speaks to (2 hops)
So I talk to you, you talk to your boss, I have a FISA on me, they can collect on me, you and your boss.
Again, you are wrong.
If crimes are uncovered during the course of 'any' investigation, they absolutely can.
if the OP theory is correct in the main point, then that means the FISA's were opened under Counter-intel investigation.
They're now being kept open as a part of a Sedition/Treason investigation. Those, by definition, ARE internal. And those are also a big part of the primary reason for FISC.
Evidence produced via illegal FISA warrants CAN because that is in itself a crime.
And from there, all information produced 'from' those FISA warrants can then be used as evidence of the predicate infraction.
Thus, the theory that they were intentionally allowed to stay 'active' and keep renewed 3 times, when the first alone was enough to show no evidentiary reason to continue them.
Currently, as it stands 'right now' you are correct and the evidence will not be admissable. That said, the moment that those FISA's are deemed to have been improper and illegal (fraud on the FISC court) then the whole mountain becomes fair game.
Because those FISA's and all data gathered via the warrants become evidence of the fraud. And, as already mentioned, any crimes uncovered in the investigation 'of' a crime can also be fully investigated and prosecuted, utilizing all current and future gathered information.
see below.
The moment those FISA's are deemed to have been fraudulent, all collected info becomes evidence against those that conspired to defraud the court.
er, see above I guess.
