Nate Cain is correct that "A full audit of all FISA requests under the Obama admin needs to be demanded."

 

But even more is needed:

  1. Judge Boasberg is demanding heightened thoroughness and candor by the FBI/DOJ when submitting FISA applications. Excellent, but Devin Nunes gave FISC evidence in February, 2018 and again later in 2018 that FBI lied about the Trump campaign FISA applications. What did FISC do in 2018 and 2019 to change its procedures, investigate the wrongdoing and seek disciplinary action against the wrongdoers. Did FISC cite the FBI/DOJ bad actors for contempt or refer the attorneys who were involved in misleading FISC to applicable bar associations for discipline? We need some heightened thoroughness and candor from FISC and Chief Justice John Roberts about what they should and could have done differently. As a beginning, we need to know if any FISC staff or Judges actually read and considered the ramifications of the FISA applications and extensions against the Trump campaign before they were approved.

  2. Once the 2 and 3 hops are used in a FISA application against a presidential candidate, FBI could potentially "legally" surveil innumerable people in the same party as the candidate plus many, many more. So we should demand an accounting of every person and group surveilled as hops from the Page and PapaD FISA authorizations.

  3. We need to know if the surveillance actually ended when the last extension expired in 2017 for the named targets and 2nd and 3rd hop persons. In fact, we need corroboration that it has all actually stopped.

  4. We need to know how surveillance of other Republican candidates was authorized. Was there a pattern of bad faith by DOJ/FBI in targeting Republicans? Was FISC or some of its judges complicit in fostering partisan attacks? Although David Kris appeared neutral in his report on FBI's proposed FISA reforms, it is still unsettling that FISC chose a known anti-Trumper for this role. So potential partisanship in the FISC ranks should not be glossed over based on respect generally accorded to judges.

 

I don't twat, so if any of you that do are so inclined, please make additional suggestions to Nate Cain.
