The FISA Court is Compromised
I hate to write this, but there is just no good way to look at this. The Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court, specifically Presiding Judge James Boasberg, has hired former DOJ National Security Division head, Mary McCord, as amici curiae advisor to the court. [LINK] The placement was first noted by an announcement from Georgetown Law ICAP.
Presiding Judge James Boasberg, is the decision-maker in the appointment of Amici Curiae to the FISA court. There is no way, NO WAY, Judge Boasberg does not know Mary McCord was at the epicenter of the fraudulent FISA application used against Carter Page. Remember, in addition to being the FISC Presiding Judge, Boasberg was also the trial judge in the case against Kevin Clinesmith, the FBI lawyer who lied about Page working for the CIA on the FISA application. {Go Deep}
Boasberg knows Mary McCord took over from former DOJ-NSD head John Carlin (October 2016); and it was McCord who guided the Carter Page FISA application through the court and across the finish-line (October 2016 and January 2017). That FISA application was built upon fraud and Mary McCord was at the center of it.
Mary McCord was also the DOJ-NSD official who went with Sally Yates to confront the White House Counsel, Don McGhan, about the Michael Flynn interview with the FBI. {Go Deep} It was also Mary McCord who had Michael Atkinson as the chief-legal-counsel for the DOJ-NSD -that’s her office attorney- when the FISA application was submitted in October 2016, and renewed in January 2017.
Michael Atkinson went from DOJ-NSD counsel to become the Intelligence Community Inspector General (ICIG). {Go Deep} In that new role Atkinson changed the rules to allow an anonymous CIA whistleblower (Ciaramella on behalf of Vindman) to file the complaint that led to the Ukraine impeachment effort. {Go Deep} Who was the lead lawyer in the Jerry Nadler led House Judiciary Committee? Why Mary McCord of course. Judge Boasberg knows all of this… AND MORE.
Boasberg knows the details of the fraudulent FISA application. Boasberg knows the details of the Inspector General Michael Horowitz report about the fraudulent FISA application; and all the DOJ and FBI participants… which included Mary McCord. Boasberg knows exactly who Mary McCord is, and what activity she has taken on behalf of the political resistance inside the DOJ and inside congress. FISC Presiding Judge James Boasberg also knows Mary McCord has broken the law….
…And yet Boasberg appoints McCord as amici curaie?
Let’s be really clear here. The FISA court is a small unit. The judges in/around Washington DC are also a small unit. They know everything that is going on in and around their DC network. A FISA judge inside that DC system knows every granular detail of everything that comes into their purview. All of it. Judge Boasberg even wrote the last two FISA court opinions (2019 and 2020) about the FBI abuses of the FISA-702 process and warrantless, illegal violations of the NSA database.
There is simply no other way to look at the placement of Mary McCord other than to see what it is. The FISA court is compromised; AND, McCord is being installed in order to coordinate any defensive measures that are needed to cover-up that compromise. [ex. if special counsel John Durham makes something public and Durham has been to the FISC with questions.]
There isn’t another way to look at this other than to see bad motives. There’s not a shred of possibility that Judge Boasberg does not know exactly who Mary McCord is, and what roles she played in the surveillance of candidate Donald Trump, President-elect Trump, President Trump and the House impeachment effort to remove President Donald Trump. Boasberg knows exactly who Mary McCord is.
There is no other way to look at this.
I hate to say it so bluntly, but the FISA Court is compromised.
.
Is the judge a beach friend too?
They probably sent the judge an envelope full of 8×10 glossy photographs of him having sex with animals or little boys, along with a single entry short list of whom he was going to hire to fill the position.
Impartial: A word found in the dictionary.
Also… when you have entire NSA Database to scan, imagine what you can find!
How’s that for irony?
we need to vote friendly perverts in to offices. so they cant be blackmailed. openly wild people, like maybe comedians who dont care
Is Gary Glitter out of jail yet? Well, I guess he’s a Brit anyway. You know… somebody like that would make a good candidate for something…
That was my first thought, even if it was meant to be sarcastic.
The Swamp works over time putting anyone of any power into compromising positions, documents it, then uses it as blackmail. The Swamp = The Mob.
Or he, and many others, are complicit and he gets an envelope full of money every quarter.
The other envelopes are only sent when he wanders off the reservation.
Most likely. Look at where these swamp critters are getting their education. It’s a cabal of about half-dozen universities churning them out: Harvard, Yale, Princeton, U. Chicago, Georgetown …
After graduating, they clerk for a judge or Congress critter from the same academic institutions. They have basically been going to the same frat parties and coffee shops since their mid 20’s.
What court is not compromised? Arguably, there are a few judges out there who still adhere to the rule of law, but they are precious few and dwindling.
We live in a banana republic now–a fascist oligarchy. Barring significant (black swan) change, I don’t see it getting any better–but I do se it getting much worse.
here is the issue:
Who enforces laws?
1) Cops
2) FBI
Right now the FBI is owned.
But, cops are vulnerable to joining the public, because Obama had to attack the cops to get it federalized so he could own them also.
once cops and FBI owned. we are going to fall as a country.
———-
Solution: support cops 1000% and get them ready to REVOLT for you.
I see it getting much better down the road, but still haven’t hit rock bottom yet. This is coming after enough people feel the pain. What is missing is ACCOUNTABILITY for anyone involved with government. This is coming when enough American patriots demand it.
The four years of Trump the people seen and felt the way it can be. Now the people are Seeing what they don’t want it to be.
Question, in all the years of the FISA Court has it, along with the law enforcements agencies that used it to obtain secret warrants, ever been used to prevent a terrorist act?
That’s what we were sold when they set this thing up, we need these extraordinary powers to save lives, kinda a theme eh?
Excellent question. It’s important to go back to when this first started and have a public or partially secret discovery of how many attacks if any this court has saved us from. The fact that the question hasn’t been asked before in any meaningful way suggest that there hasn’t been any. Or we’d hear about it all the time. And we know the deep state loves these new constitutionally questionable powers.
Well to be fair, it’s kinda hard to find terrorists when you’re too busy doing domestic political spying and investigating the origin of a rope tied in the shape of a handle.
Oh, you know the answer. They could tell us, but then they’d have to kill us.
“That’s what we were sold when they set this thing up”
They “set this thing up” as a result of the Church Committee’s investigation of the FBI and NSA spying on American citizens, placing a now obviously corrupt secret court (cue Gomer Pyle, “Surprise, surprise!”) in the warrant approval process!
Ironic. no?
40 years ago, Church Committee investigated Americans spying on Americans

And also set up the gang of 8 oversight structure. Appears that in no time flat, both structures are compromised and politically weaponized. The entire DC circuit bench is stacked with political hacks, IMHO. I’ve lived in this town for 40 years now, and it’s really changed for the leftist worst. Maybe not even leftist, but certainly a town full of crony reach around and backscratching. A UniParty so to speak. I hope Nunes calls this out on sunday morning futures. McCord as Amici (special position as advocate the those being spied upon) is beyond pathetic. If you want to pay someone for this position, give it to John Turley.
The though sometimes crosses my mind that just maybe the political elite do not appoint people to positions that can be powerful enough to take them (the elite) down without leverage over the appointee and that the appointee knows the game and will voluntarily spend time on an “Epstein Island” in order to get the prestigious position.
FISA is a law brought forward by Ted Kennedy and signed by Jimmy Carter. It was created in the wake of all the revelations that our government was out of control spying on citizens, violations of the 4th Amendment. It was supposedly to protect us from our government spying on us outside of legal search warrants.
The FISC was in the FISA as a mechanism that permits government spying on us by providing the government the ‘color’ of court approval in that spying. So the law legalized the violation of our 4th Amendment protections. But in a way that can never be challenged in a real court proceeding.
As its name implies, it was meant to limit the spying to surveillance against foreign intelligence. So if they weren’t intentionally lying about Carter Page, and truly suspected him of being a foreign spy, it would have been appropriate to spy on him. But it was not intended to spy on American teens plotting in an American Mosque to commit terror crimes in America.
Over the years, they have constantly amended FISA. Under Bill Clinton, it was out of concern for FISA that Jamie Gorelick, the number two under Janet Reno, built a wall of separation between criminal and intelligence investigations, which lead to terrorism warnings failing to stop 9/11. Her concerns were exaggerated, and she had gone way beyond the color of the law to avoid her concerns. And we opened up FISA to be used to prevent crime (terrorism) by anyone (not just foreign agents).
There are a few terror acts they have openly claimed to have stopped in open testimony before Congress. But not many. Most terrorist arrested preemptively basically fall into the category of a loner stupidly asking an undercover LEO to help him commit a crime. And there is usually serious concern that the LEO has egged the stupid loner on to act so that they can arrest him. I.e. entrapment.
The inability to challenge the legality of secret spying approved by the FISC makes it impossible to regulate that secret spying. Quite a feature, whether intended by Kennedy or not.
And the FISC has NO mechanism to challenge the government. And no power either. Who is going to prosecute government agents for lying in a FISC? Government agents? And imagine this, a FISC judge secretly tries a government agent for contempt in a different FISC and secretly convicts him, secretly imprisoning him. Habeus Corpus, right to a fair trial, right to a trial by jury, etc. all denied. I wonder if an FBI director could be renditioned to Poland?
So how can a secret judge protest secret abuses of the Constitution, justified by secret lies he can’t challenge? She can do so by acting when the abuses stop being secret. But that happened and she doesn’t try the guilty agents. He can do so when the government secretly reports to them about these abuses. But he doesn’t do anything to make them stop. Not even when these secret reports prove the government never stops abusing the FISC.
I wonder why any sane judge would accept appointment to the FISC? It is just pointless busy work rubberstamping government abuse. No judge has stepped up to protect American citizens or the Constitution. But they are all bending over backwards to legalize and cover up abusing Americans and our Constitution.
But now the FISC is openly hiring past government agents who have abused Americans in the FISC. No judge would do that unless they fully support enabling such abuses. And I think I have answered my question.
But you’ll never get an answer to that question because it’s classified to protect sources and methods. Convenient.
Say it bluntly, it needs to be said. No more pretending not to know.
Mary McCord Op-Ed: What it will take to fight the threat of violent right-wing militias
Federal prosecutors should go after private militias using existing federal criminal laws that prohibit the use of firearms, incendiary devices, or paramilitary techniques, or traveling interstate with firearms or incendiary devices, intending to use them in a civil disorder. Those who facilitate or fund such activity should be investigated, too.
And Congress should consider enacting a federal offense — like the state equivalent upheld by the Supreme Court in 1886 — prohibiting unauthorized private militias. The senators and House members who were minutes from being assaulted and abducted at the Capitol should now understand the danger that private militias present.

“ The senators and House members who were minutes from being assaulted and abducted at the Capitol should now understand the danger that private militias present.”
What in the name of John Wayne’s ass is she talking about? That might be the greatest piece of hyperbole I have seen yet regarding the January 6 protest over the fraudulent election.
Her comment is a threat to Americans.
McCord is an enemy of this country.
she basically said:
The America people trying to have a voice and lawfully protest is a threat to their SAcking our Country. those antifa and blm punks that broke into the capitol are the issue . not the crowd that followed them in
sync, what is antifa?
Wonder is she means BLM ✊? ANTIFA?
S/
sync Thanks for the post I did not know this.
there is not 1 right wing extremist group doing anything but drunk talking on a phone!
— antifa burnign the world down
— blm burning the world down
Simple way around that is for red state Governors to begin creating state-chartered or sponsored militias.
…while providing free ammunition, range time and arsenal reconditioning of personally owned military-grade firearms. ?
“And Congress should consider enacting a federal offense . . . . prohibiting unauthorized private militias.” You mean like those rabble-rouser extremists led by George Washington?
Look closely. Judge Beelzebub has the same crooked smile as joebama. Ugh.
Software glitch.
Mary McCord/GeorgetownICAP praising the Center for American Progress
“Kudos to @amprog for a great set of recommendations to end white supremacist violence, and for recognizing that @GeorgetownICAP Mary McCord’s federal anti-militia proposal could help the cause.”
A National Policy Blueprint To End White Supremacist Violence
https://www.americanprogress.org/issues/security/reports/2021/04/21/498156/national-policy-blueprint-end-white-supremacist-violence/
Well that blueprint is finished. Now do the black supremacy (BLM) and fascist (Antifa) ones.
Where is all this White supremist violence? Lately we seem to have a rash of Black female violence.
Our self-defense against the genocidal acts to come will justify all. Or something.
bertdilbert: Every level of American society is now blanketed with this propaganda. Reject and turnback this propaganda at every turn.
Thanks again sync. Most informative and deep background on Mary McCord. American Progress is reliable in exposing the Left. Know your enemy.
FTA E. Enact legislation creating an extreme risk protection order remedy at the federal level and incentivize states to enact these laws as well. An extreme risk protection order (ERPO) is a civil remedy that allows law enforcement or family members to petition a court to temporarily remove firearms from a person who poses a risk of harm to self or others. For the duration of the order, the individual is also prohibited from purchasing firearms. ERPO laws are designed to provide a legal tool to intervene when there is demonstrable evidence that an individual is experiencing a temporary crisis, poses an imminent risk of harm to self or others, and has a firearm.98 ERPO laws provide a valuable tool to help ensure extremists are disarmed before they commit acts of violence.99 Measures to create a federal ERPO and provide grants to encourage state-level enactment have bipartisan congressional support.100
A federal anti-militia statuteAn idea, first proposed by Mary McCord, that CAP and the McCain Institute considered, but did not include in this blueprint, is a federal anti-militia statute that would allow federal prosecutors to charge private militias and paramilitary groups rather than relying on state officials. A federal anti-militia statute could provide an alternative to state enforcement of such laws, which can be complicated by elected state officials who face political challenges in enforcing these laws when militias have community support. The authors think this idea has merit but lacked time to thoroughly discuss and vet this proposal with stakeholders.101
So basically use the U.S. Constitution to enact laws that make the provisions of the Constitution illegal. Heck, pack the Court and viola! we are Venezuela’s big brother to the north!
Blueprint is Soros’ favorite word.
So this woman will be defending conservatives, all of whom she views as de facto terrorists, to the FISC? Really Boasberg?
A guy phones a law firm and says, “I want to speak to my lawyer.” The receptionist says, “I’m sorry, but your lawyer died last week.” The next day the same guy phones the law firm and says, “I want to speak to my lawyer.” Once again the receptionist replies, “I’m sorry, but your lawyer died last week.”
The next day the guy makes his regular call to the law firm and says, “I want to speak to my lawyer.” “Excuse me sir,” the receptionist says, “but this is third time I’ve had to tell you that your lawyer died last week. Why do you keep calling?” The guy replies, “Because I love hearing it!”
I smell fear disguised as vengeance. Maybe the deep state crooks ARE beginning to feel the weight of their millstones around their necks. The whole lot of them are zombies walking.
I smell POWER openly expressed as CONTROL.
Yep. It is frightening. The same power the Pastor from Canada describes in the latest video as the Commie Natzi Facists Gastapo are there again on a Sunday. The same power all of the Shoa interviewees describe during his or her ordeal.
My grandparents were ministering to the official refugees our country took in during WWII in Oswego NY. My mom and Aunt were children and I grew up knowing the stories both heard 1st hand at the supper table. My Dad’s oldest sister and her husband took into the home Ugandan refugees when they lived in Canada. I personally met these refugees as a child.
Heals-up said when they take power they will be identifying every Trump supporter and we will be punished.
I do not want to become soap like the Pastor’s brother. This kind of power does not stop.
its definitely one or the other.
Fear of whom, exactly? They’re laughing in our faces because there’s nobody left to fear. He’s hanging out in Mar A Lago.
Who corrupted them and why ? CIA and FBI .
The dirt they have on all these cretins must be mind blowing , my long held belief with first hand knowledge on the subject is peodophilia.
What is the most abhorrent crime that would even make the most hardened lefty chunder ?
Anybody had the guts to go to the dark web and watch killery and aberdene rape /murder/ satanic child sacrifice, or understand pizzagate,pedogate,fbi franklin involvement,cia mkultra,vatican pedo protection,child sex trafficking rings running amuck world wide , I could go on and on. OK I’ll start with this, the illusion of money being the aspiration of most is nothing more than a conditioning system imposed on the worlds population at any given time for the purpose of
“self slavery”.
Sundance is extremely astute thats a taken, note the constant small references to the “tight knit” or “small club” this is 100% correct .
The real currency is children evolving from the king taking the prettyist maiden in the kingdom to the open child use for money/power and extortion used today by the pedo elite that rule you.
Note that Trump was the only one who allowed himself to be interviewed by the fake epstein investigaters why ?
Also note that the peodophile busts world wide went through the roof under Trump why ?
Why did the full spectrum of all the alphabet agencies fail in gaining one piece of dirt on Trump ?
Anwser; Trump knows.
Here’s how the pedo elite think;
If you own all the money with unbounded influence to the extent that you can buy and sell countrys and impose at will any dictate through stealth , war and peace are the best examples here, with all the richers that the planet has at your desposal what would you want ! the anwser is ; something you can’t have ;
Children for pleasure.
The bigger the tabboo the more the want.
The evolution of corruption led to where the we are now.
As I stated above Trump knows the truth a truth that most never knew existed.
To any detractors I welome to destroy any and all arguments to the above.
Thanks Sundance for this site.
If he did know he should have gotten rid of Bill Barr and Chris Wray a LONG time ago.
No chance, another exuse for impeachment would of been fabricated.
The CIA is an inherently self-corrupting organization. No one needed to corrupt it. It’s in its own nature. Subterfuge and deceit are their tools and the people who use them have those traits as well. What did people THINK was going to happen? The only way to limit that would be to control the time people are allowed to operate within that agency.
Song;
‘Monster’
Band, Steppenwolf.
Everybody was f*ckinwell warned this sh*t was coming and f*ckall people stood up.
Now everybodys bitchin well stiff sh*t you reap what you sow.
Not you personaly Daniel but to all the unts that called me fifty variations of fool eat sh*t and go and fix the problem you yourselves created.
A complete hot stone from hell is all that ya got left And one f*ckin man that goes by the name Trump has the balls to take on the whole worlds evil and picked up the hot rock.
Most should hold their head in shame .
Those a cut above should be standing five feet taller.
The torky torky wishy washy crap goes nowere in the commie game.
If one man can em on and win what can millions do ?
Oh little old dumb me I have an idea.
Lets get this F*CKIN PARTY STARTED.
It has been clear the fisc has been corrupted for years. If we knew the fbi had fisa warrants rubber-stamped, warrants without the collaborating information, i. g. the Woods file, the courts knew and did nothing.
The United States of America suffers from systemic legalized corruption.
The rule of law is a facade and we hold no moral standing over nations who are openly corrupt.
Our only hope is to burn it all down.
Lets start with Portland. Oh wait, to late.
I agree and frankly that is what they are trying to provoke. Then they will dispose of the domestic ‘terrorists’ and rule over the rubble. Nevertheless it still needs to be done.
9/11/21 is apparently all-out-of-the-country day for armed forces in Afghanistan. How effective was the full mission force of the military in defeating the indigenous forces there? I mean, yeah, we killed some of them and bombed and strafed and killed doctors and nurses at a hospital there, but the ‘enemy’ lives on.
How are they (the alphabets) going to do up against citizens in their own country led by those who know their tactics, supply and logistics chains, infrastructure, the whole smash, and have the same experience killing enemies that they do if they engage the domestic military? I say let’s get to it and see how it goes. Are we any better at killing than camel jockeys? IDK. They did pretty good on 9/11 and didn’t even have any guns. Only mistake was not taking out Langley but I think that was by design.
That’s actually their plan folks!
Sundance…
The entire federal government — all three branches — are compromised and have been for some time, now.
The federal government is a corrupt criminal enterprise — domestic enemies of the Country and The People.
Many state governments are compromised, too.
Believe me it goes down to school boards and administrations level.
Yes, absolutely!!
Zy: This is the truth, and this is where we, as inviduals and then, as small groups, should be directing our efforts. I do it at the level of my city council district. I also pepper my state legislators regarding proposed legislation on 2nd Amendment issues. These efforts must be followed up, continuously.
Of course, there are other actions to take and roles to play, but, local, local, local is the theme.
Jeremiah was told to go through Jerusalem and find one, just one, righteous person, and the Lord would hold off the Babylonians. What if that task centered on Washington? I gotta think there could be even two or three.
Oh, sure. I hope there’s more than just two or three.
Government as an entity — how it operates, the system — has become a corrupt criminal enterprise.
Possibly a few nice old ladies in the black neighborhoods. But there is not one righteous person in the white (lobbyist, politician, bureaucrat) neighborhoods.
I had missed this when I posted essentially the same screed below.
John Gleeson wasn’t available?
?
Has anyone heard from Lou Dobbs? We need him to broadcast this far and wide. Hope he’s doing well after FOX canceled his show.
There was a show about him on Newsmax on Greg Kelly or Stinchfield a couple of days ago.
Approximately at sunset each day I miss Rush and Lou.
lindak, I saw him on a livestream on a show a few days ago. He seemed undaunted and in good spirits.
I cannot wait to read this. I am saving it for tonight and all day I will look forward to a great Sundance evening. Like a le carre book before you go to bed
It keeps me up at night!
I’m not claiming any special insight, but I knew the FISA court was totally compromised when they granted the FISA warrant against Carter Page. If you think about that one decision, then you know that the FISA court is nothing more than the legalized gateway to running surveillance on political opposition. There was NO WAY ON EARTH that a judge would have granted a FISA warrant on a guy who would allow you to electronically spy on a presidential candidate, and then president.
I view this as simply the enemy identifying themselves for us.
Corrupt Roberts is the real boss of the fisa court. True story. All the “journalists” left and right never mentioned that for over 4 years. All while reporting on Roberts decisions and reporting on the fisa court bit always separately never together. Commenters here put it together but not one single outlet called it out.
I never understood why Roberts replaced Judge Collyer with Obama appointee Boasburg as FISA Admin judge …. at such a critical time. Collyer didn’t retire, just stepped down as Admin Judge.
And we are surprised? Of course, the court is compromised…it has been since Roberts has been in charge. Roberts is deeply corrupt and compromised (and I am not buying the excuse about the illegal adoption of his kids)
So….part of the Big Ugly is going to get much uglier and bigger as we will see who objects to this publicly…wait for it. Crickets. Tom Fitton from Judicial Watch, perhaps. Has anyone objected publicly?
Given that the DoJ/FBI is THE largest organized crime enterprise in the world, the court now has it’s “cover” to do whatever they want whenever they want. Our corrupt judicial system will just keep rolling on and Roberts will continue his reign.
Corruption in the Judiciary started with John Roberts. He is as corrupted as all the judges heretofore. The media do not report on rogue judges with ridiculous unconstitutional decisions to make the public aware of these corruptocrats and there is no efficient watchdog mechanism to monitor these dishonest crooks.
I award Sundance the highest Dissenter Investigative Journalism Award for his ongoing series of next level articles. Way above the Democommunist participation award, the Pulitzer. In addition to the Medal of Freedom awarded by a real American President, Donald Trump.
Questions:
1) How corrupt is Judge Rosemary M. Collyer , seems she is compromised or intimidated by her corrupt colleagues, but did she get in the way and reveal some of the corruption that requires coverup ?
2) Same question about IG Michael E. Horowitz.
It’s not as if We Treepers didn’t already know this. However, it’s really a blatant, in-your-face decision exhibiting the Ruling Class Establishment’s certainty that We The People are their subjects. We are no longer inconvenient citizens with rights and political power at the ballot box. We’re their peasants to be used and abused.
FairestWitness, it is a very small percentage of people who followed Spygate as closely as we did. I discovered the Treehouse about the time all the revelations about the fisa warrants being suspicious were beginning to show up on twitter. There were others exposing the truth about the court.
Sundance provided the analysis you needed to link up the various pieces of information. He has a gift for connecting the dots.
Very few people understand the depth of corruption in the judicial branch. Very few people know what McCord did at the doj. Very few people know the part she played on the impeachment staff of the house. I would venture to say we don’t know the half of what she may have done.
WHY are we as American citizens being governed by the USA? OUR ENTIRE GOVT IS CORRUPT, top to bottom. It begins at the bottom tiers and rungs and goes to the WH. Even the CDC, which nobody should really ever hear from or about is as corrupt and political as the FBI, DOJ (and WHY are these orgs political when their CHARGE is JUSTICE and should be blind to anything but law and order). Our judges/judicial system/courts are POLITICAL; not any degree or depth of justice. Find a radical, rogue court or judge and you are free to pillage, plunder, murder, steal, riot, loot, deceive, destroy…
I TRUST NOT ONE ENTITY of our govt from the local level to the state, federal levels. IT’s ONE BIG CABAL of politics and unfortunately now in the hands of Dems, Marxists, Fascists, Socialists and they have NOT ONE OPPOSITION. NOT ONE.
EVERY agency will come after We The Citizens IF we post on social media, have any connections to Trump, Conservatism. IRS will destroy you and not one dang thing can be done. The 1st time I ever gave a political donation to a Conservative/Republican; that very year I was audited and I ended up owning $5k plus penalty and interest. CPA said pay, you can’t fight and don’t want to fight the IRS. He said it was blatant abuse. Heard similar stories from many others. Bet I could donate to Dems, Biden, et als and have no worries!!!!
DONE WITH THIS GOVT. DONE with Congress (worthless, top to bottom) regardless of Party. There is ONE PARTY; it’s the UNIPARTY and we ain’t a part and never will be. SAVE YOUR $$$; don’t give a dime, penny, nickel to these greedy money grubbers, already $millionaires from lobbyists, K St, big donors, Chamber….
VOTE: sure. It’s the thing to do every 2/4Y; think it makes a diff. In some cases. But when it counts, federally, what a joke American elections are.
VOTE THEM OUT!
Oh, wait…
Yeah, we tried. That was just before the one second we finally, truthfully and openly for all to see, that our elections are rigged, stolen, illegal, fraudulent.
They’re appointed, not elected by us, to the secret court, just part of the VAST, unelected administrative state that, along with pols owned by lobbyists effectively ARE the government.
As shown by common sense LONG before the 2014 Princeton study that iron-clad proved it statistically, the only time voters get what they want is when it coincides with what those with real influence (i.e., money) want.
“Voting” just provides a facade of legitimacy to make the plebes think they’re in control and, thereby, avoid revolts.
Flukes unvetted by the party machine, but who have “no chance of winning” and, therefore, inadequate measures are taken to prevent their election, like Trump, must be destroyed by all means available to prevent reelection.
This includes a pandemic which, oh so conveniently, occurred with exactly the right timing to destroy Trump’s huge advantage in the election, the US economy. Yes, the Chicoms ARE that evil.
Winston, a few years ago, I would have felt sorry for you and thought you needed help for such a statement. Now that the most unimaginable things have been shown to be true, I don’t discount this theory at all.
The actions of the world health organization and our cdc have been dodgy to say the least. Why should we believe anything they say?
Are we in for an endless loop of a bad dystopian sequels and remakes?
Life follows art, unfortunately it’s Twilight Zone.
Yes, rigged, stolen, illegal, and fraudulent.
We found out that every single entity created to remedy those illegal actions, to redress our grievances, will do nothing. Worse, will actually facilitate and cover up those crimes.
My question: Knowing everything he knows, why would Boasberg even issue his report on FISA abuse by the FBI and DOJ in the first place? Why didn’t he just ignore it? Why did he order the FBI to do an audit of FISA applications (something like 17? of them) in their different offices around the Country (which were all deficient and didn’t meet the lawful FISA standards and yet nothing was ever done about it)? And then he hires Mary McCord? Why not just ignore the FISA abuse and hire McCord to make sure the illegal activity, he CLEARLY knows about, never saw anymore (after the Rosemary Collyer report of course) light of day in the first place? Hmmm!
Just like the Mueller investigation. Mueller was appointed for 1 reason, COLLECT all the incriminating files, data, records, etc and DESTROY and use all the $$, resources, people you can and DESTROY anyone that gets in the way. THINK EVERY acct, record, file of BHO, HRC, Susan Rice, Holder, IRS, CIA, FBI, FISA, CIA, State Dept, Lynch, Jarrett, et als IS NOT GONE FOREVER. Mueller wasn’t investigation TRUMP; he was COLLECTING……they knew Day 1 Trump couldn’t be convicted; that wasn’t Mueller’s charge…
he isnt issuing abuse – is is providing oversight per their shitty law, and guiding process improvements with no punishments
his main goal is to:
convince you we are abiding by the 4th amendment. But he is slowly learnign WE WONT DO SHIT evn if they tresspass on us.
They know what tresspasses they can do, and the ones they cant. the ones they cant – they will address with removing your ability to survive without them. YOU WILL TRADE YOUR GUNS FOR FOOD AND MEDICINE.
My first thought when I read this piece was “Resistance Is Futile”. Sundance has been doing a great job rolling out the details over the past few years. Thank you! But, it’s still hard to accept.
My second reaction was that we need to turn to God because mere men cannot fix this. In the Bible, Solomon had everything including wisdom. He concluded that everything is meaningless or futile except for God.

So the amici curiae advisor will now be part of the coverup after it was made public that the FBI has continued to use the FISA Court illegally to spy on President Trump supporters, white patriots and America Firsters! Who knew? We’ve seen this before with Comey covering up Hillary’s crimes and Mary McCord will do the same. Like Comey she will provide the justification/leftist legalese probably written/drafted by Lawfare to defend the FBI spying in violation of the 4th Amendment. With Lawfare there is nothing in the Constitution that they can’t parse, overcome with leftist legal mumbo jumbo! We know that’s coming. The only real viable option to shutdown the FISA Court it is as corrupt as the Supreme Court and the rest of the Federal Judiciary! Look for the corrupt leftist msm to praise this hiring if they report anything! God help us! Hosanna!
There won’t be any reporting, there is no need. This is way beyond the knowledge of the ignorant Sheeple.
The image is a pedestrian with a leaking colostomy bag being closely followed by a lady with a bag of lime.
Bubby, you actually think congress will shut down the fisa court? They don’t dare.
NO! It’s not what I “think” will happen it’s what I “believe” should happen since the FISA Court is corrupt in allowing most of the spying on US citizens and not foreign terrorists! The Patriot Act should be repealed since the biggest use has been the massive government surveillance by Democrats/FBI on those that oppose their leftist/communist transformation of America! It’s nothing more than a bypass of the Fourth Amendment by the FBI to get their own secret search warrants!
It’s a power move. The Judicial branch has been perverted. They are debased. They know we know that they are corrupt. They do not fear perception or optics.
Hubris will be their downfall.
The Achilles heel of tyranny is such, that injustice and persecution will awaken many more patriots. It will more importantly move us to get our own house in order, and purge our own ranks of persistent quislings. We cannot effectively face our foes, while traitors behind us are scheming and stabbing.
We are increasing in number, they are diminishing. Fear is all they have left.
I don’t see fear, I see POWER. Brutal political power being exercised.
citizens near fusion centers – should protest them until People are arrested for Trump spying. as a deal to stop protesting.
Otherwise national security is jeopardized.
What a steaming pile of feces…..
Serious question: What does it take to get a crooked lawyer disbarred in that place?
Converting to the side of light and justice and transparency. Then, all past misdeeds will suddenly come to light painting said lawyer as the most corrupt traitor in the history of ever and disbarment would take place faster than the blink of an eye.
Run afoul of the DNC.
Sort if an f-u in your face type move if you ask me. I think they are too far gone to be redeemed in the courts of man and God. God’s decision and not mine – thankfully.
It circles back to everybody receiving a major clue about B2 and Rat along with the rest of the Uni-party with their reactions to Rand Paul wanting to kill FISC off dead. PDT was just trying to survive the Uni-party siege or playing the long game – history will tell us that answer. But FISC existing is an affront to every American citizen regardless of political alliances. It violates Constitutional and other legal protections we supposedly have because there is no hammer to stop the abuses of the foxes in the henhouse.
The American societal experiment is nearing a conclusion without a major rebuild of government and restoration of the republic.
FISA does what they are told. Just like SCOTUS, district courts, Congress, DOJ, State, and on and on and on. The corruption is so deep and wide I don’t think it can be cleaned while maintaining a functioning government. There would be a handful of congressmen, one or two senators, two SCOTUS, and everyone at SES level plus their aides, and at least one more level down as well.
It would literally require a supermajority of honest congress-critters, and honest presidents for enough successive terms to clear out the rats from the bureaucracy and the judiciary who are all essentially lifers that see administrations come and go while they continue to do their masters bidding for fun and profit.
Back in 2013… when these people maybe cared a little bit about America…
“Why The FISA Court Is Not What It Used To Be”
https://www.npr.org/2013/06/18/191715681/why-the-fisa-court-is-not-what-it-used-to-be
[…]
After 9/11, the Bush administration circumvented that law; President Bush authorized new surveillance programs without submitting them to the foreign intelligence court. After news reports blew the lid off the administration’s dodge, Bush submitted to Congress proposed changes in the law, which were adopted in 2008.
[…]
As a result, the FISA court became “less a court than an administrative entity or ministerial clerk,” says William Banks, director of the Institute for National Security and Counterterrorism at Syracuse University. “They weren’t reviewing law anymore; they were simply sort of stamping papers as approved or filed.“
[…]
At bottom, though, few if any experts in the Bush or Obama administrations believe that the FISA court has the enforcement teeth it once had. Many of those teeth were pulled out by the 2001 Patriot Act and the 2008 amendments to the foreign intelligence surveillance law. For good or ill, as one expert put it, the court has been defanged, at least until and unless Congress decides to restore some of its powers.
Congress… Congress… Congress… Congress…
How do you spell “useless”? C-O-N-G-R-E-S-S.
Long ago, it was said here on the CTH that “in the right hands” the national surveillance agenda is an important tool. I flipped out then when it was said because THERE ARE NO “RIGHT HANDS.” And even if we had a team of saints running those programs to begin with, that state of things wouldn’t last long.
Any power which can be abused WILL be abused. And of course, we’ve long known and understood that it has been abused — WE have been abused…. and still are and they are fighting to keep abusing.
What do we do?
Daniel, only divine intervention can clean up this mess. Voting doesn’t work, the courts don’t work, so that’s all that’s left. I am aware there are many working tirelessly to expose the fraud and corruption, but exposure accomplishes nothing until something is done about it.
No surprises here. Since the very IDEA of “Secret Court Proceedings” is antithetical to the Constitution, freedom or liberty, why would anyone NOT FULLY EXPECT this?
Face it. The FISC is, and ALWAYS HAS BEEN, a sham intended to mollify the American public and perpetuate the illusion that the elites who run Big Government will “follow the rules” and respect our rights as specified in the Constitution and Bill of Rights.
They don’t.
They won’t.
They NEVER will.
As long as there is a mechanism with which the IC can be used for political purposes, it WILL be done. And, as long as these weasels wield the power to use our courts to obfuscate their perfidy and obstruct the application of justice to the wrongdoers, nothing will change.
“Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety.” -B Franklin
Wasn’t originally planned as such but has evolved into the worst criminal syndicate/conglomerate any country on the planet can outdo…Russia, China, Cuba, Iran, N Korea….eat your hearts out…our sophistication is done in a democracy…while yours has to be done with communism.
we must stop being DATA – then the NSA is useless.
keep a marker out of your body, and we have a chance to drop our online tag – or unique identifier.
i can let 1000 peopel use my screenname, no issue. same with a cellphone, just pass it around and trade. people will jsut have to pick up the phone when it call. We can also make phones like the president where only inputted numbers can call – and you get that number via coded message ( and change update as you rotate)
make the DATA WORTHLESS
the NSA SAYS they do not track AMERICANS. so at no point is this action a threat to them then!
DISC is gonna make FISC look like a ’78 Romper Room rerun.
Tucker hinted last night that D.C. rumor is afoot that uncharged January 6th rally goers are on the No-Fly List. More to follow.
Pure petty vindictiveness… but then there is NO low the commie dimocRATs won’t stoop to.
We as citizens pay taxes to then be used to abuse us by corrupt officials (elected and non-elected) from main street to Pa Ave and everywhere in-between. THERE IS NO AMERICAN JUSTICE. Congress does not exist to represent. PLEASE DO NOT address, call or pronounce any congressman A REPRESENTATIVE.
Trump didn’t dent the cabal one iota during 4Y. A few were outed (Comey, Weinsten, Mueller, Struzk, Page, et als) BUT NEVER CONVICTED nor FINED nor TRIED/PROSECUTED. MOST laid low for 4Y and schemed and planned and coordinated Biden’s steal and VICTORY forever….never to be tried, convicted, prosecuted, arrested….NADA…HOW could Comey walk????????????????????
The court in charge of general warrants is comprimised.
Sorry, the entire system is hopelessly corrupt and has been for a very long time. What happened to the unvetted fluke named Trump who was expected to have zero chance of winning just made more people aware of it.
“There is not a single person in congress writing legislation or laws… Over the past several decades a system of constructing legislation has taken over Washington DC that more resembles a business operation than a legislative body.” – Sundance 3 Oct 2020
Testing Theories of American Politics: Elites, Interest Groups, and Average Citizens [Princeton University, 2014]
https://scholar.princeton.edu/sites/default/files/mgilens/files/gilens_and_page_2014_-testing_theories_of_american_politics.doc.pdf
Excerpts:
A great deal of empirical research speaks to the policy influence of one or another set of actors, but until recently it has not been possible to test these contrasting theoretical predictions against each other within a single statistical model. We report on an effort to do so, using a unique data set that includes measures of the key variables for 1,779 policy issues.
Multivariate analysis indicates that economic elites and organized groups representing business interests have substantial independent impacts on U.S. government policy, while average citizens and mass-based interest groups have little or no independent influence. The results provide substantial support for theories of Economic-Elite Domination and for theories of Biased Pluralism, but not for theories of Majoritarian Electoral Democracy or Majoritarian Pluralism.
In the United States, our findings indicate, the majority does not rule—at least not in the causal sense of actually determining policy outcomes.
When a majority of citizens disagrees with economic elites or with organized interests, they generally lose. Moreover, because of the strong status quo bias built into the U.S. political system [that describes the overwhelming influence of the administrative state and lobbyists – W], even when fairly large majorities of Americans favor policy change, they generally do not get it.
To be sure, this does not mean that ordinary citizens always lose out; they fairly often get the policies they favor, but only because those policies happen also to be preferred by the economically-elite citizens who wield the actual influence.
All of these judges are compromised. This just further confirms what we already knew. The Globalists smartly made sure that every Judge that they needed to do their evil deeds were compromised and under the Globalists control. Its so sad to see how over 30 years we the American people let this happen right under our eyes. The Globalists have a vice grip on the Judicial Branch of our country. God please help us.
Still hoping for the asteroid.
In Fake Liz Cheney’s speech, she said that the election was not stolen, that there is a judiciary process in place, that the judicial process worked (a.k.a. Fake Mike Pence), and that all of us who claim the election was stolen are fighting against the Constitution itself -our “rebellion” must be put down. This is how they think. They are right and we are wrong. When Mike Pence refused to do the right thing, I knew we were sunk. These “upstanding citizens” and supposed christians are so compromised and so deluded and so out of touch with the *will of the people*, the majority, that there’s no chance in hell we can expect our government or “leaders” to act in our best interest. No expectation whatsoever that they will right the sinking ship. This latest tidbit on Mary McCord just proves it. They are going to continue their chummy, incestuous, relationships, come what may.
It’s going to be difficult, moving forward, to trust anyone in government again. I am suspicious of anyone running for office, even if under the MAGA banner. I’m 100% disgusted that Barr got a book deal, our new Supreme got a book deal, Hunter got a book deal, Mike Pence just signed a 7 figure book deal, and let’s see… who else recently got a book deal and/or a cushy job… they launder money and payment for services rendered through various schemes. If they don’t cooperate, they get blackmailed. 100% Mob activity in our government. Our government is 100% illegitimate.
7 FIGURE BOOK DEAL for MIKE PENCE. I guess throwing the Republic off the bridge was worth 7 figures Mike. What a worthless human being. Didn’t stand up for righteousness when the time came.
Pence was just the figurehead in the legal process. There was no support in the senate to stop the steal. They were all in on it.
Hawley knew and made a hail Mary pass, but he knew it wouldn’t go anywhere. Cruz knew and sought allies for an investigation. He knew that wouldn’t go anywhere either.
The fix was in and it worked.
Let the mass surveillance, blackmail, and phony trials begin!
They’ve got the DOJ, the FBI, the CIA, the FISA court and half the DA’s in the country corrupted.
So much for that freedom and rights jazz.
Stop participating in their corrupt system. We don’t have a lot of power individually, but if we all just stopped participating that would be powerful.
Practice jury nullification, cancel all cable/streaming etc., Quit social media, No money to sports teams, Not one penny to progressive companies (no Amazon, Walmart, GEICO, etc.) – shop local, Only buy what’s absolutely necessary and try to buy second hand, Grow some of your own food
Not one penny to Democrat family (cut off your lefty college kids, no inheritance for your liberal adult children, no wedding gifts etc. to nieces and nephews), No aid to the enemy: Meaning no helping out your neighbors you know vote Democrat
Pull your kids out of public schools – if every Trump supporter did this it would crash the indoctrination centers and remove the money and power of the teacher’s unions, Don’t send your kids to college
Stay out/Get out of the military (force them to have a draft)
Go Galt – Emulate the Amish
I admire the sentiment, but Americans are so fat and happy watching Netflix and cashing the stimulus checks so they can order more stuff from Amazon.
Parents want their children back in school because they can’t deal with them. They need to work for money to support the lavish lifestyles they are accustomed to, and if they have the money, they can put them in private schools so at least they can learn to read.
I could go on but you get the drift. We have met the enemy and it is us.
“Parents want their children back in school because they can’t deal with them.”
Complete and utter BULL-CRAP statement!!
Boasberg expressed that Clinesmith already suffered enough losing his job, when what Clinesmith was doing was to FRAME it for President Trump to lose his job. Clinesmith’s text sent to his co-conspirators, proudly announcing what he did – w MALICE, was to destroy our Constitutional Republic. Clinesmith belongs in PRISON – along w every one of his co-conspirators.
Boasberg should be removed from the bench – if not prosecuted – for Acts of Treason.
Corruption everywhere, Do they think we do not know?
Why should they care?
We are without a means to even reveal the corruption to the country.
In order for people to want their heads they first have to told what happened; then they have to grasp the consequences of what happened (not easy for the lower half of the Bell Curve); then there has to be a way of PUNISHING them and that way, the courts, ARE the protectors of corruption.
Personnel is Policy. Thanks sundance for this most informative and in depth post. This is first class journalism. I want to think your posts are being read by Team Trump.
The FISA court WAS compromised. See their lack of inaction when it became known that the criminals had misled the court. This is not a new finding.
keep in mind , Lisa Page works for Mark Zwillingers (see artcle chart)
If Conservatives don’t have their own version of Lawfare, then this will continue to happen. They keep digging in deeper and deeper and deeper. They are called the ‘Deep State’ for a reason.
I keep saying it….
BURN IT ALL DOWN!
