UNANSWERED QUESTIONS REMAIN CONCERNING FISA ABUSES

Many questions remain concerning the alleged abuses of the FISA court process by top DOJ lawyers and FBI agents during the 2016 presidential campaign and thereafter.

For example, will Attorney General Jeff Sessions appoint a special prosecutor to investigate this abuse of power? In an interview yesterday with Fox journalist Shannon Bream, Sessions again indicated that the FISA abuses would be investigated and that he has also appointed an experienced DOJ attorney from outside Washington to look into it.

How does the FISA Court feel about reportedly being abused in this manner?

But I also wonder how much information was obtained by federal agents?  How far did this corruption extend, after they allegedly abused the FISA court to spy on the opposition candidate during an election year, while using opposition research paid for by the Clinton campaign and the DNC? In other words, has anyone investigated how many tape recordings were made and with whom, or how many emails were tracked, and on whose private conversations did agents eavesdrop?

Many questions remain and yet there are so few answers! Here's hoping that somebody, perhaps the Inspector General or maybe Mr. Session's unnamed attorney friend, will shake some trees and get some answers!

DOJ AND INSPECTOR GENERAL TO INVESTIGATE FISA ABUSES

Did you hear the news? Attorney General Jeff Sessions has confirmed today that the Department of Justice, through its Inspector General, will investigate the alleged abuses involving the FISA applications submitted by senior members of the Obama D.O.J. along with their cohorts in the F.B.I.

We have all had time, now, to digest the "Schiff memo," released on Friday.  In it, the attack dog Democrat Congressman did his best to defend those who had submitted the questionable FISA applications. 

But incredibly, even after the Schiff memo, the undisputed facts appear to be that partisans in the D.O.J. and F.B.I. did not disclose, in the FISA applications, that the "salacious and unverified" Trump dossier had been paid for by the Clinton campaign and the Democratic National Committee.  

In short, incredibly, we have witnessed the weaponizing of our nation's spy tools by one candidate to spy on an opposing party during an election year!

As a former federal prosecutor, I would never have imagined not disclosing such salient facts to the Court! 

If these allegations are proven, heads will surely roll! What do you think?
