couple morning narratives:

7:00am MSNBC - Barr doing the bidding of Putin

7:13am CNN - Barr adopting the language of Foxnews, he's a conspiracy theorist

they're all losing their minds that he used the word SPYING

key MSM talking point - it was not spying because there's a process and have to go court to get WARRANT

They trying to cover up:

In 2015 Inspector General Michael Horowitz was blocked by the Department of Justice from having oversight over the DOJ-NSD. In a lengthy response to the IG’s office [Full 58 page pdf HERE] Sally Yates essentially said ‘all

DOJ is subject to oversight, except the National Security Division

Second, to understand how FISA is used within the intelligence community it is CRITICAL to understand that IC departments centered around National Security, such as the DOJ National Security Division, or the FBI Counterintelligence Division, may use the NSA database -and FISA enabled inquires- with considerably more leeway, and less restrictions on access and use.

In short, FISA “queries” from any national security department within government are allowed without seeking court approval.

The scale and scope of what took place in 2016 is also contingent upon understanding how the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) was being used.

Specifically how critical exceptions for FISA-702 search queries without judicial warrants or FISA court approvals, were permitted.

In 2016 FISA-702(17) “About Queries”

from legislatively authorized national security entities within the DOJ and FBI

did NOT require FISA court approvals.
