For those confused. There are two bills to modify the FISA702 reauthorization in the House. (1) HR 6611 from the House Intel Committee and (2) HR 6570 from the House Judiciary Committee. The intel committee bill expands domestic surveillance authority under the modifications; the judiciary committee bill requires the DOJ to get a search warrant before they can look at the incidental collection of American citizens.
Both bills came out of committee and were scheduled for a floor vote tomorrow, which has been cancelled due to public outcry (good job). Speaker Mike Johnson initially planned to let both bills get voted tomorrow and the bill with the most votes advances to the Senate. 😬That’s a hot mess.
The House Intel Committee bill organized by Chairman Mike Turner is absolutely horrible. It expands FISA702 surveillance and makes things much worse. The House Judiciary Bill organized by Chairman Jim Jordan is not structurally that much better, but it does put strong curtailments on the 702 surveillance authority by forcing the DOJ to get actual court approved search warrants on American citizens.
It should not come as a surprise to see a panel of 46 experts in Deep State weaponization come out in support of the Intelligence Committee bill, and then decry the insufferable 702 limitations put into place in the Judiciary Committee bill. The bad guys want the House Intel version.
That’s a who’s-who list of 46 Deep State weaponization operatives, all supporting the Mike Turner version.
Turner lied when he said his HR 6611 bill was supported by John Ratcliffe and Devin Nunes. It’s not, and they don’t. Both Nunes and Ratcliffe support a panel within the process who have eyes on everything that is being done and can conduct immediate oversight. Chairman Mike Turner is a big fibber, and y’all can tell him I said that.
The Deep State folks love the Turner bill (6611) because it makes the surveillance even easier by granting even more authority in their warrantless searches. The Deep State folks do not like the Jordan bill (6570) because it requires a search warrant to look at the material, which means a predicate justification must exist.
Both bills suck, but the Jordan bill sucks less.
Speaker Johnson abandoned the competing same-day floor vote effort, and no one is sure where it goes from here; but that’s probably why the Deep State guys are writing a letter trying to influence Johnson on what bill to permit a vote.
In the meantime, the current FISA-702 authorization will likely be “short-term” renewed through April 19, 2024, as part of the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA), while congress figures out which long-term reform bill to send to the Senate.
It’s all a hot mess.
We The People just don’t want to be under surveillance, but we have no representation.
Both bills stink, but if you have to do this damned thing, pass HR6750. The amoral IC deviants supporting HR6611 and trying to con the American people once again should simply be told to go F themselves.
These psychopaths lied before, and they’re lying now. Especially the four who signed this letter and that total fabrication of a letter in the 2020 general election defending junior Biden’s “laptop from hell.”
“Where do they find these people?” –PM Tony Blair in the movie “The Queen”, appalled by the UK military establishment
The American people have no say in anything passed or people elected in the District of Criminals
All “trustworthy”, just like the ones that signed the Hunter laptop Russian disinformation mockument. FTS.
significant overlap between those two docs
“Yes, but they’re all bad.” Harry, in True Lies
They don’t even try to hide their proud, in your face lying anymore.
Pat Cadell said we were the stupid party – he was sooooo right.
We are perhaps as a Christian majority party, naive, not stupid. We fail to see evil most often when it stares us in the face. Believing that other’s motivations are the same as ours is a mistake. We search for righteousness, while they search for power. These bill, which are “repugnant to the Constitution” (Marbury v. Madison – 1803) must NOT PASS.
Perchance it’s the time to write a letter from we the people stating that we are far more concerned with the terrorists in the IC/DS than we are about any potential foreign ones and we flat out refuse to give up our Constitutional protections and foundational rights for ANY reason.
We wish to be left the hell alone and the foundational principles of our nation upheld.
I believe that’s been written / said ad nauseum to no effect. These people are far enough removed from actual votes that they simply don’t care.
It is the same problem everywhere. Local County commissioners are so removed from the voters that they don’t care, either.
You refuse to kill them they will kill you. Oh well.
I asked a state senator from Massachusetts if they even know a bill they are attempting to pass is unconstitutional on its face. His response about the Democrat super-majority was, “Yes, they know full well, but they just don’t care.”
Yeah, just make sure that letter is strongly worded.
Yeah, hire Missy Graham to write it. That’ll do it.
How the heck did we let these people into office?
We the voters didn’t…..
The manipulation of voting machines in Democrat strongholds is ubiquitous. Started with the “hanging Chads” of William Delahunt on Cape Cod in 1996. That election was reversed in his favor when they counted votes for him that did not exist. They just kept discovering more and more until he was ahead and declared him the winner. That was the model for Al Gore’s 2000 challenge in FL, against Bush. Dominion has developed the “art of the steal” with computer programming that “cannot be questioned.” Stolen elections have DIRE consequences, as we have seen over the last three years.
Yep. See what happened in 25k population Antrim County, MI, a red county. If it weren’t for a courageous judge to grant the search warrant, never would have found out that 5k votes were flipped blue….with the MI AG just saying it was a glitch.
That list is a target rich environment.
Looking for the overlay between the 46 and the 51….I did not see Poindexter, he wrote in invisible ink….chuckle
With all the eavesdropping these people do, one would think they might have figured out that nobody trusts them anymore. They have done zero to earn back trust. For them to think that they possess any moral suasion is the height of arrogance. The fact that they are arguing that we have to give up more of our rights for a modicum of safety is Orwellian. None of us are safe with any of them in positions of authority wielding that kind of power. They don’t use it to keep us safe; they use it to further left-wing political objectives and to harass patriotic citizens. To think that I once believed that our intelligence services were looking out for America and Americans makes me sick.
Abusing the powers they already have is why they might lose them. No one should know better than Rod “the Weasel” Rosenstein, who handled the Russia hoax and was Weissmann’s poodle. He did less than nothing to see that the investigation was conducted properly though he never even should have initiated it. After all the abuses of the Russia hoax, no one has suffered any consequences.
The weasel’s proper name is Rat Rodentstain. 😁
Read the new article on Jack Smith on Gateway Pundit and you’ll get a clearer vision of how corrupt things truly are and always have been.
Extortion and the puppet courts globally is how they roll
It’s not by accident they do this every thanksgiving, Xmas, and or new years. Every single year they bring out the most abhorrent bills to quickly pass during the holidays when no one is paying attention,
I’m paying attention, though. And as a Patriot of the America we have lost, held hostage by tyrants, I’m gonna fight tooth and nail to get her back for our posterity! God bless the J6ers, and those who “hunger and thirst after righteousness!” Amen.
The Uniparty is allowing 2.5M illegal aliens to walk into this country every year. They would only do this if they have a massive domestic surveillance program to monitor everybody, since they know nothing about the illegals when they walk in. It’s evil.
The Constitution declares that “A well regulated militia…” Who is the Militia?: 10 U.S. Code § 246 – Militia: composition and classes

The militia of the United States consists of all able-bodied males at least 17 years of age and, except as provided in section 313 of title 32, under 45 years of age who are, or who have made a declaration of intention to become, citizens of the United States and of female citizens of the United States who are members of the National Guard.
Why not organize a volunteer force to stop the invasion the traitor in the WH is aiding and abetting?
Golly sure is good thing there is a constitution.
Our country and her people are in a bad place right now. IMO, the best you can do, at this time, is take care of YOU and YOURS. EFF everybody else. We have a lot of people to thank for this predicament, like the dims, RINO, GOPe, Never-Trumper, and Deep State operatives. If we are lucky, and he is allowed to live to do it, Donald J. Trump is the guy most likely to help us through this period. We still have to deal with the , “Six ways to Sunday” element. They are a lethal entity.
Absolutely disgusting that that FREAKING RINO Turner would actually stand in for this UnConstitutional spying of his own Country’s Citizens. All one has to do is read that list of supporters, to understand this thing should be DEAD IN THE WATER.
“Any law repugnant to the Constitution is null and void.” Marbury v. Madison (1803)
It’s funny how the same group of people can be spun up and throw their support behind any of these surveillance methods. How many times have they had to edit this FISA since the very first day it was implemented? This is like a bag with a thousand holes and patches in it.
