Inside the construct of the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA), Congress has agreed to extend the current FISA-702 authorization through April 19. 2024. Why April 19th? I believe, based on DOJ/FBI history, there is a very nefarious intent. I’ll explain.
First the report of the FISA-702 extension.
WASHINGTON – Congress is preparing to extend its deadline for untangling a complicated fight over warrantless government surveillance – which will mean yet another headache for House GOP leaders.
Top lawmakers are attaching a short-term extension of the government wiretapping power known as Section 702 to a sweeping defense policy bill, according to seven aides and lawmakers familiar with the text of the bill.
The extension would give Congress until April 19 to figure out how to reauthorize Section 702, named for its specific section of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act. The provision is meant to target foreigners abroad but has long stoked controversy for its ability to sweep in Americans.
Whether to attach a surveillance powers extension was one of the final sticking points on the defense bill, whose text is now finalized and expected to be released later Wednesday. Both the House and Senate still need to pass the defense bill, and there is bipartisan backlash already brewing over the decision to attach a surveillance extension.
Conservatives privately urged Speaker Mike Johnson to separate the two issues. His decision not to do so promises to complicate a final vote on the defense bill, a typically must-pass proposal that could come to the House floor as soon as next week. (read more)
FISA-702 surveillance was the legal mechanism by which the 2016 campaign of Donald Trump was placed under surveillance. The primary target of the FISA warrant was Carter Page; however, everyone within two contact points (2 hops) of Carter Page was also under full Title-1 surveillance. Essentially, the entire campaign and later administration of President Donald Trump fell under full electronic and physical surveillance.
Phone calls, text messages, emails and all electronic communication was intercepted by the DOJ. Robert Mueller extended the surveillance with a June 29, 2017, renewal. The FISA-702 authorities served as the legal mechanism that permitted the DOJ/FBI to intercept all communication and monitor everything from every position inside the administration of President Trump.
The 702 authorities were weaponized as warrantless searches by the DOJ against their political enemies. The FISA Court has published several years’ worth of reports showing how the “incidental collection” was not incidentally used. The abuses of the system have only grown every year since the DOJ National Security Division first started using them as a weaponized process to conduct warrantless surveillance on Americans.
Six years after this issue first surfaced, Office of Inspector General Michael Horowitz testified, April 27, 2023, that more than 3.4 million search queries into the NSA database took place between Dec. 1st, 2020 and Nov. 30th, 2021, by government officials and/or contractors working on behalf of the federal government. These search queries were based on authorizations related to the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA).
[OIG Testimony HERE]
Approximately 30% of those 3.4 million search queries were outside the rules and regulations that govern warrantless searches – what the politically correct government calls “non-compliant searches.” That means during the year 2021, more than 1 million searches of private documents and communication of Americans were illegal and outside the rules.
Additionally, IG Horowitz admitted that somewhere north of 10,000 federal employees have access to conduct these searches of the NSA database; a database which contains the electronic data of every single American, including emails, text messages, social media posts, instant messages, direct messages, phone calls, geolocation identifiers, purchases by electronic funds, banking records and any keystroke any American person puts into any electronic device for any reason.
If we were in a functioning system of government, everything would have been stopped, and no other conversation would take place that was not about this issue. This was the total and complete surveillance state being talked about as if Congress was discussing what’s for dinner.
If the FISA-702 authorities are extended, this surveillance is what has been authorized to continue through April 19, 2024. House Judiciary Ranking Member, Democrat Jerry Nadler, organized the date for extension.
I believe we have struck the right balance here and perhaps the only balance that can pass the House at this time,” Rep. Jerry Nadler (D-N.Y.) said about the bill.
Why April 2024?
Quite simply, and brutally honestly if we apply prior precedent to the extension timing, what you realize is the primary election of 2024 takes place between January and April of 2024. If things go as predicted by most, Donald Trump will have likely secured enough delegates for the nomination by the end of April. The extension will give the surveillance apparatus the ability to conduct searches of information throughout this period.
On/around April 19, 2024, the GOP nominee will likely have locked down the nomination. The nominee is likely to be Donald Trump.
Beyond the extension motive, the previous counterintelligence investigation by the FBI never stopped. Crossfire Hurricane evolved into the Mueller special counsel investigation. The same investigative units from the FBI then transferred into the Jack Smith special counsel. There is no reason to believe a counterintelligence investigation does not underpin the legal authorities by which the current DOJ is keeping candidate Donald Trump under surveillance today.
Using the wording within the criminal indictment, the DOJ-NSD could -likely is- considering Donald Trump a national security threat. All indications from the Jack Smith prosecution point in this direction. There is no countervailing data that would suggest the DOJ is not considering Donald Trump a national security threat. As a result, it is very likely candidate Trump is once again under a FISA authorized Title-1 surveillance warrant….. and everyone within two hops of him would be under the same.
On/around April 19, 2024, if Trump is the presumptive GOP nominee, the FISA court might look at any renewal authorities differently. It’s one thing to have American citizen Donald Trump under title-1 surveillance, it is another thing entirely to have the opposing candidate to the current administration under legally authorized surveillance by the DOJ-NSD.
The end date of April 19, 2024, would align with a need to have more than reasonable suspicion to retain the surveillance. At least, that’s the way the FISC would likely look at it.
If Occam’s razor is applied to the current datapoints, the most likely scenario for the DOJ-NSD, FBI and Jack Smith special counsel investigative units, is that Donald Trump is currently under FISC authorized title-1 surveillance.
Retaining the 702 status quo through April allows the surveillance to fall upon anyone in his campaign orbit.
The DOJ’s position in 2024 would then simply be a repeat of the DOJ’s position in 2016.
Someone might want to talk to Donald Trump about this.
Nope !
No we did not. In sufferably disappointing but not a surprise. Maybe Austin’s threat to send congressmen’s sons to fight in the Ukraine made him compliant.
What’s wrong with Speaker Johnson?? Didn’t he promise to separate bills for voting?
Why did he even allow the vote on Santos to further reduce our margin and now petulant and evil McCarthy is resigning. Republicans are really stupid.
Stupid? No.
Conniving? Absolutely!
No, they’re not stupid. They’re. Complicit.
other than optics
the republicans
walk in lock step
with the corrupt dems
making them corrupt also
Exactly.
No. Both.
Okay, I can accept a two-fer.
Republicans are really Democrats. Democrats are really puppets to their donors. Donors can actually be the “Masters” of the Swamp like Sen McConnell, George Soros, Xi Xinping, MIC, etc. We are watching an illusion they call Politics. For a while; nothing is real.
He probably cashed in. Apparently he was relatively poor compared to most in Congress.
New job – new financial arrangement with whoever funds our govt corruption machine.
My guess is that RINOs wouldn’t vote for impeachment inquiry if FISA wasn’t extended.
LARP. Who will MAGA Mike be today? Kevin Johnson or Mike McCarthy.
It “sounds” as if Senator Mike Lee is planning to block 702 in the NDAA. It needs to be a broader coalition than 1. Where are the other Republican Senators on this?
https://x.com/basedmikelee/status/1732839599649513759?s=61&t=WAJNjiOb9WjI79tM2u9BXA
There are at least 12 GOP senators that want Trump under surveillance as well including McConnell, Murkowski, Collins, Thune, Graham, Scott, Romney and Tillis.
DJT is a threat to exposing their treason. All of those you mentioned, and many more, are complicit in the 2020 coup/massively cheated election and massive money laundering in Ukraine, IMO. This is why they are going bananas over Trump. This is a zero sum game for them. It is all or nothing.
FISA works both ways.
How do we know DOJ is the only agency conducting searches, especially those which may have started and may still be running during war in accordance with executive orders relating to foreign interference with elections and corruption promulgated by Trump?
Thune’s FB account makes him look like a Boy Scout. He visits fairs, talks to farmers and ranchers, kisses babies, posts family pics, the whole enchilada. Yet, behind the curtain, he is a corrupt politician who lies to his conservative constituents, promotes the uni-party and hates MAGA.
Enjoying their donors’ monies.
They are no doubt compromised is some way.
Where are we, walking our own precincts, getting our every single GOP and Independent voter to support these changes? Can’t do anything when voters send Congress such a thin majority. The call for change does not rest of them; it rests on us.
While not disagreeing completely, I think you underestimate the role that the state RNC leadership plays in all this. I have been involved several times trying to get a non-RNC candidate elected. It is a way uphill battle. Not impossible, but the next thing to it.
Just remember the warrant for all the Twitter posts and communications President Trump made.
They used that warrant to cover up the fact that they already had every bit of the info already and it was done illegally.
DC is an incestuous den of inbred communist traitors to our constitution. They leaked the Twitter warrant to keep us off the trail, that they were already doing warrantless searches on a President of the United States. I promise you that Snake Bosberg on the Fisa court is neck deep in this.
Thanks again Sundance for connecting all the dots.
Parallel Construction Company
Possibly a knock on the door if you vote for Trump?
Nothing is going to stop us from voting him back into office where he LEGALLY AND RIGHTFULLY should be right now.
Your ,Gov will they hate everything about him.
DJT is like sunlight to a vampire.
Be prepared. If you have family members financially dependent on you better give them a heads-up.
I absolutely detest “Republicans.”
Getting there with ya.
Funny – That’s exactly the way I feel about Democratics
…3.4 million searches were outside the rules and regulations.. Um no!, they are outside our fundamental rights outlined in the Bill of Rights.
Constitutional Law 101 !
Deep State doesen’t care about laws !!!!!!
I’d be willing to bet the course “Constitutional Law 101″ has been renamed…”Constitutional Law 101 and How to Get Around It.”
Are we even sure there is a “Constitutional Law 101” course taught anymore?
Not at all sure…
They know exactly how to get around it. They coerce a biased Supreme Court to ignore the Constitution they were sworn to uphold.
I don’t know why they don’t scrap it all together, Judith. The last ruling on the unconstitutionality of forgiving student loans was completely ignored. And where are we now? Billions in loans forgiven by a lawless administration which said as Jackson did (paraphrased)…
“You’ve made your ruling. Now let’s see you enforce it.”
The effect of this is to totally eliminate the third branch. To say to that neutered, and yes, politicized branch, “Go to hell!! The law is what we say it is.”
I’m shocked not one person anywhere, but especially in Congress, has uttered one word about it.
So egregious was this middle finger to a ruling by the highest court, I think we can take that yellowed, sacred document, wad it up, and toss it in the trash can. The Republic is dead.
Obama taught conlaw.
B@ST@RDS !!!!
Mr. Speaker,
Please explain to your son why Daddy is letting the Deep State surveil the only Commander-in-Chief recognized by Heaven.
And then explain it to us.
ps; the first word in “FISA” is “Foreign”.
When something starts with a lie, a Christian must instead insist on the Way, the Truth and the Life.
Best,
a Citizen
I think pence an Johnson go to the same Bible study. It’s probably held at a private club somewhere in dc.
The bible of Baal and Molock is what they study.
With hookers and booze.
He’s just another Mike Pence. Probably been groomed for this by his commie friends. When people speak well of any politician in DC, Watch Out!!
Another sanctimonious bible thumping actor. Elmer Gantry Johnson Pence.
Mr. Speaker,
Of course, you realize your association with President Trump puts you and your kid under one-hop surveillance.
Total MAGA imposter.
No matter who is (s)elected, nothing changes.
Vote! Vote!, and Vote! some more.
You will get 2020’ed again.
I think 1x is enough.
On both counts.
April 19 and the days surrounding it are not good days in American history…
Waco, OKC bombing, Lexington 1775, Titanic sinks, Colombine school shooting, and more…
https://www.daytondailynews.com/news/disasters/deadly-days-april/0Ali9qUCfEZmFBvK8ThNeO/
The numerology fan club doesn’t select these dates by accident.
19 is their favorite, outside of 33 and 11.
interesting article…thank you for sharing.
So Trump thinks that it all went away? And it won’t go away after 4/19. They’ll just have to convince an Engoren judge that they had ‘reasonable suspicion’. How hard will that be?
“If People Think Things Are Bad Now…” Tucker And Alex Jones Talk Deplatforming, Depopulation, & The NWO
https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/if-people-think-things-are-bad-now-tucker-and-alex-jones-talk-deplatforming
Alex Jones is the William Cooper of our time.
Watching now, I recommend everyone send the link to the uninitiated.
Tucker looks stunned at what Alex Jones is saying? The battle lines have been drawn!!! JMO
I noticed that as well but IMO its just an act because Tucker knows the score. Another example would be if you watch Tucker enough is him asking the obvious questions he already knows the answers to.
It’s a great long form interview…Hannity could learn from Tucker’s technique. I would love to hear a recording of the prank phone call to Brian Stelter made by crew members after consuming whiskey…that must have been a hoot!!!!
Alex Jones has gained credibility as the years have shown he’s not a tin hat conspiracy theorist nutjob. The camera operator kept showing Tucker’s face as Alex talked at length. A montage of Tucker’s facial expressions would be fun to watch.
I’m just putting this link in here as there are many links addressing PTrump firing US Attorneys and others in explanatory 🙄 fashion that BHO did. Brave search seems to not find Clinton too easily so here is one just to allow memory flow.

Hope you will understand why I chose to place my comment on this post. Thx.
What good is talking to President Trump about it going to do? He was powerless while President to stop it and even less so now. If he doesn’t know that he is surrounded by snakes from both “friends” and foes alike by now, there is no hope that he ever will.
No doubt he knows…..
Kyle Seraphin said he accessed smart TV camera footage under 702
HE SAID THIS WITHIN THIS LAST WEEK (I THINK DURING THE LIVE STREAM HE DID ON RUMBLE DYRING WRAYS TESTIMONY)
Dearest Sundance, please add smart TV cameras to your enumerations of what 702 info gets compiled by NSA (and misused by the FBI/DOJ).
… from now on
As in, the TVs in people’s homes??!!
Vault 7
Yup, including the TV in your bedroom
(And you should turn off the mic and camera on your phone regularly too)
All smart devices spy.
I researched smart TVs when they got so suspiciously cheap and it is a hard NO for us.
Cell phones are bad enough.
The “Government” needs de construction. Along with the Three Pillars, House, Senate, Supreme Court. This goes for both Federal and State Governments, they have become incestuous.
Remember when some were questioning Laura Loomer’s attacks (insights) on Mike McCarthy. She was right. How quickly ‘some’ forget.
Many are questioning why Speaker Johnson has not been much different from Speaker McCarthy. The answer to this question lies with the Congressional Leadership Fund, a PAC that jumped support from McCarthy to Johnson right when Johnson became Speaker. Interestingly, FEC records show the biggest donors to the Congressional Leadership Fund are never-Trump Ken Griffin and Paul Singer, the Washington Free Beacon owner who funded Fusion GPS, the organization that wrote the disproven Steele Dossier. All signs point to a 2016 repeat.
Lou knows, too! Just not as quickly as Loomer.
If multiple people take a job and they all act in similar ways, despite being very different people, it’s possible the incentives they face are causing that.
They don’t need any warrants, haven’t you guys been paying attention?
Yesterday Biden spelled it out. In order to continue the Russia, Russia, Russia conspiracy. Ukraine and Putin are the biggest threat. Opposition to funding the war places MAGA on Putin’s side. So MAGA and we are Putin’s biggest ally and the biggest threat to democracy. All else falls into place as we become the biggest threat to America.
How‘a that Mike Johnson working out for you?
A few weeks ago these pages included a lot of glowing comments about Johnson. But a few Doubting Thomases took a wait-and-see position. If all those comments were written today I wonder what the consensus would be.
Those numbers work out to one FISA check per day per authorized government FISA checker over one years time.
A few quibbles are possible. Such as what government employee works 340 days a year. But they didn’t tell us how far north of 10,000 so that could wash out.
I find numbers that round out so nicely highly suspect. And only one a day sounds low.
It would only take 1700 working the standard 2000 hr year to run 3.4 million searches if they did one an hour.
They can do one a minute, and the connections are all pre-computed. When Barton Gellman wrote Black Mirror, the results would go back 5 years. It’s probably 15 by now.
A searcher can find everyone you spoke with over the phone in 2016, in other words. With one simple search using your name or phone number.
Meaning that with a few searches, they can map your entire social universe, understand your buying habits, trace your travel, and run behavioral analytics.
Also meaning that if a certain government agency wanted to scrape the database for a community minded young man with access to a friend’s gun, who could be counted on to say yes when asked to help guard a car dealership from rioters in his hometown, in Kenosha, they would be able to do that, and then set up a Hunger Games gauntlet in advance.
I wonder what searches were run through that database in the two months prior to the Rittenhouse miracle run.
And who could also be counted on, btw, not to have parental supervision that would say no.
I once went to a lecture by an old spy talking about spying on the Russians in the DC embassy. They recruited a high school age mechanic who worked on the Russian cars at a local autobody shop. Their first test to see whether he was suitable was to ask him to meet somewhere at midnight. When he did, they knew he didn’t have real parental supervision, and so they could work with him. Apparently whatever he ended up doing for the agency was quite successful.
Assuming the spy wasn’t just spinning a tale, of course.
Laura Loomer was attacked (by conservatives) for presenting facts about Mike Johnson early on. Remember this??
“I’m not a fan of @RepMikeJohnson. There’s a reason why all of the RINOS happily voted for him today.
He’s a snake. And I’m sounding the alarm.”
I agree.
So, everyone in America should get within “two hops.”
“I Am Spartacus!”
DJT had contact with Hillary and Biden. He had contact with Reagan and both bushes. He had contact with the directors of the treasury, all generals and all congress members. He has had contact with the directors of the red cross cdc nra ama hud.
Now raise your hand 🖐 if you have never gotten a fundraising, informational , compliance letter or email, sent with one of these folks signature on it.
We are all 2 steps and now the big data searches have gotten better at predicting our moves and our triggers as groups and, if focused down as individuals.
They are now trying to control us as groups gaming out our reactions. Those reactions will be analyzed in smaller and smaller subgroups.
They can game out individuals already of course but the :push a button” “soft control” of the individuals within the collective will be the goal.
We are still not really talking AI here it is just purpose driven algorithms.
The good news is we will be velvet gloved to our submission, it will be “our idea” as opposed to cattle prodded.
Being aware gives you the opportunity to observe the soft chains being placed on others.
This soft control is working very well on many in the 20 somethings. Moms basement has a game controller, porn and cheetos. Changing the world one disconnected slacker at a time.
Easy for us to see what happened to the Medical community with the soft controls that were used there.
Harder to see is the effective soft controls that are being used on us old timers……yeah what exactly is real….
For me it’s love of family and God and hatred for the bastards continuing to destroy our country.
FJB F them all
a reverse Cloward-Piven: overwhelm them. Not a bad idea!
They could have picked April 19 because it is the anniversary of the Battle of Lexington and Concord.
They could have also picked it because it is the anniversary of their burning all the Branch Davidians in Waco.
Which of course makes it also the anniversary of the OKC bombing. But that would also be admitting the Patriot Act type broadening of FISA was always meant to spy on Americans.
Yes, interesting. And somebody upthread gave even other examples too. (with link)
Just saw this after posting my comment – agree. Symbolism is important to the practitioners of the dark arts. Notice also how the followers of Mohammedism also use historic dates when doing their ‘events’.
I look at Johnson’s face and see Pence. Traitors masquerading as Christians.
Repost: exposing Johnson pro life hypocrisy
This is so disheartening, but the times are evil and man only seeks power and not God. I am not surprised but I do take heart for God is not mocked for what a man soweth he shall also reap!
I am tired of hoping that someone, anyone in DJT’s orbit is paying attention here. At this point, someone with the skillset of Jason Bourne visiting all of the key players we read about so often on these pages sounds better by the day. These are indeed desperate times.
Somebody needs to talk to Mike Johnson about this. If he continues with his current plan to extend the FISA 702, we know he is one of THEM.
[*** – “If we were in a functioning system of government, everything would have been stopped, and no other conversation would take place that was not about this issue. This was the total and complete surveillance state being talked about as if Congress was discussing what’s for dinner.” – ***]
This is our problem writ large. (And with essentially every problem/issue – simply fill in the blank.)
The dysfunction has been Normalized.
So long as we accept that as a response, nothing changes. Things just get worse, and at an accelerated pace.
On a related note, can we get a round of applause for the depth of our gracious host’s political analysis (& geopolitical analysis)?!
Simply stated, no one else is doing anything like this.
Agreed and send money too.
Why don’t they just push this through?

@Jim_Jordan
Yesterday, the House Judiciary Committee passed H.R. 6570, the Protect Liberty and End Warrantless Surveillance Act.
The bill:
-Reauthorizes FISA 702 with significant reforms.
-Requires agencies to obtain a warrant before conducting a query of American citizens.
-Increases transparency of the FISA court.
-And holds bad actors accountable.

House Judiciary panel advances renewal of surveillance authority
https://rollcall.com/2023/12/06/house-judiciary-panel-advances-renewal-of-surveillance-authority/
Kabuki theater is the only answer I got
Someone might want to talk to Mike Johnson about this. His butt will get booted faster than Hunter snorts coke.
But is the military communications network segregated from, and exempt from, the NSA databases?
Hmmm.
I believe TRUMP and Team know this. They know…and are prepared for a lot….and maybe more than we could ever fathom. You do not go into “the final battle” without a plan, without knowing as much as possible what the enemy is doing or planning. And Trump experienced THAT ENEMY when he was the President. As we go along….the one thing that is for sure…..THEY are setting precedents. Doing things that would not normally have been done, even breaking laws. These same things that they are setting…..will open doors and allow the same to be done to THEM. The enemy within! All this is about….waking up the people. The GREAT AWAKENING! So when Trump is back in the White House…..what needs to be done….can and will be done because the people will have seen and experienced what THEY have done….and what THEY will do if not stopped……and will allow, and be with Trump and Team with the moves they will make. And if you listen to THEM….its as if THEY know it’s coming…..and THEY are worried, scared, concerned……and are trying everything THEY can to control the outcome……. THEY can not stop what is coming….THEY themselves set it in motion and have opened up the doors for this to boomerang on them! Karma can be a beautiful thing!
Republicans are spineless and cowardly….good for absolutely nothing.
And/or corrupt.
They are creating the conditions for which leaders have been vilified for trying to correct. For example, Castro is a villain to all of us for being a communist and for his political persecution of his enemies. Think about it though, our current leadership would be deserving of such firing squad tactics. Would they not? There are some objectively evil people conspiring against us. The question of right and wrong is truly perspective. And no, not morally right and wrong, that is clearly defined. But there are no morals in politics.
Do we know or does Sundance know whether the few trusted MAGA Trump advisors/compatriots (Patel, Navarro, Grenell, others) read here?
I would really like to know that PDJT is aware of and utilizing all of Sundance’s in-depth reporting and analysis.
“It is said that if you know your enemies and know yourself, you will not be imperiled in a hundred battles; if you do not know your enemies but do know yourself, you will win one and lose one; if you do not know your enemies nor yourself, you will be imperiled in every single battle.”
Sun Tzu
Mmmmm…….
–“Six years after this issue first surfaced, Office of Inspector General Michael Horowitz testified, April 27, 2023, that more than 3.4 million search queries into the NSA database took place between Dec. 1st, 2020 and Nov. 30th, 2021, by government officials and/or contractors working on behalf of the federal government. These search queries were based on authorizations related to the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA).”–
Let us not forget that these are 702 search queries into the NSA database are authorized by the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA), but they usually have absolutely nothing to do with the actual surveillance applications made to the FISA court.
Read that again to make sure that it is understood that these 3.4 million 702 queries have very little to do with the FISA court making a decision to authorize an application to the court for surveillance in a specific matter. These 702 queries are outside of or besides from FISA court (or FISC) applications. Keep thinking about that.
In 2021 the FISC received 456 surveillance applications. Only 4 of those applications were denied in full. So, 452 surveillance applications were granted in full, partially, or modified.
Now compare the 2021 452 surveillance applications approved by FISC with 2021 3.4 million 702 queries into the NSA database made by some 10,000+/- government workers and/or contractors that may or may not have anything to do with the FISC approved surveillance applications.
Do most folks realize that only the 452 are approved by FISC and the millions of 702 queries to the NSA database are allowed by the Surveillance Act, but are not approved by the FISC per se?
Anyone see the problem here with the size of the “muddied shade blanket” thrown over these 2 issues when they are all lumped together in the “to protect our country from foreign bad actors” discussions?
Course, all of it and all its connecting parts, processes, and parcels are unconstitutional in so many ways!
Carter Page wrote at least three letters: one to Comey, one to an election oversight organization, and the third I’ve forgotten the recipient, in October 2016.
In April 2017 he wrote a letter to the SSCI.
Per Sundance: …” The primary target of the FISA warrant was Carter Page; however, everyone within two contact points (2 hops) of Carter Page was also under full Title-1 surveillance.”…
Your comment: …”Now compare the 2021 452 surveillance applications approved by FISC with 2021 3.4 million 702 queries into the NSA database made by some 10,000+/- government workers and/or contractors that may or may not have anything to do with the FISC approved surveillance applications.”…
Could a legitimate investigation of Comey and others happen under the cover of the millions of queries utilizing 2 hops allowed by the Carter Page fisa?
Also need to mention that Admiral Mike Rogers submitted a report to then DC Circuit Judge Collier for review, which was related to use of FISA 702 by “contractors” and others. If I correctly recall the discussion here on CTH, Judge Collier found that over 80-85% of those 702 Queries violated the Civil Rights of the “targets”.
Judge Collier’s finding was a major part of the rational for Admiral Rogers to remove 702 Query privileges for allot of people. Also, I believe it was part of his reason for warning President ELECT Trump to move his transition HQ out of Trump Towers.
In 2016, why did Samantha Powers request FISA to unmask hundreds of US citizens in the final days of the Obama administration?
What did she do with that information?
Why is Sumatra Powers now working for Biden’s CIA-fronted USAID?
What’s even worse than the 702 of Trump is Congress allowed them to continue it.
Republicans want money. Democrats want power. It is a vicious cycle symbiosis that needs to be broken.
April 19 when things changed in US history:
1775: American Revolution begins at the Battle of Lexington
1861: first blood in the Civil War
1993: Waco siege ends by the burning of the Branch Davidian compound
1995: Oklahoma City bombing
Whether the Trump Team is aware of this or not is beside the point, the extension will provide legal grounds for another Mueller type investigation and bury the next MAGA Administration in mud up to the axles thus MAGA policies will not be implemented, the Country will be subjected to the same circumstances as it endured during the first Mueller Fiasco—Good or Bad? OTOH, M. Johnson is a huge disappointment.
That day is the last day to file taxes and historically a bad day. Lots of bad stuff went down on the 19th
