DOJ INSPECTOR GENERAL TO INVESTIGATE FISA ABUSES

     It finally has been confirmed by various news reports today that the D.O.J. Inspector
General has opened an investigation into the FISA abuses by top members and agents of the D.O.J. and F.B.I.  You will, of course, recall that, according to the Nunes memo, a small group of top D.O.J. and F.B.I. officials, among other alleged abuses, used the "salacious and unverified" dirty Steele dossier to obtain FISA warrants to spy on the Trump campaign. If substantiated, this would be the first reported time in American history that one candidate (and top administration officials) have spied on the opposing party's candidate during an election year.

     As a former federal prosecutor, I cannot imagine a larger, more serious white collar crime! Here's hoping that justice will be served and that such abuses never occur again. Here's also hoping that the guilty are brought to justice!

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?
