There is still no warrant requirement in the newest version of the FISA(702) reauthorization bill as proposed [SEE HERE]. The new modifications are only nine pages, and I would recommend all interested parties to review the language.
The House proposal is for a three-year extension of 702 with a new structural compliance report process that requires the FBI to submit a monthly report to the Civil Liberties Protection Officer (CLPO) within the office of the Director of National Intelligence. Essentially, the ODNI becomes the compliance auditor for how the FBI uses the process.
The CLPO reviews the names and summaries of intents that have been searched through the use of FISA (702) as submitted -monthly- by the FBI. If there are any violations or concerns the CLPO notifies the Intelligence Community Inspector General for investigation. Both the CLPO and the ICIG report to the ODNI (Tulsi Gabbard, currently).
“The Inspector General of the Intelligence Community shall investigate each query referred … to determine whether the query constitutes a violation of laws, rules, or regulations or an abuse of authority.” It’s another layer of compliance review intended to stop search abuses within the database that is held and maintained by the NSA and U.S. Cyber Command.
Here’s the issue with that part: The FBI can only submit the names that were searched if they are aware of them. Meaning, the FBI doesn’t maintain the audit trail, so the FBI only knows who was searched using 702 based on the FBI ‘searcher‘ reporting their search.
This compliance process doesn’t address unlawful database searches that are not reported because they are unknown to the FBI compiling the report.
The NSA and Cyber Command would still need to be monitoring and auditing the searching of the NSA database; and those searches may, or may not, be done by FBI officials who are filling out reports telling the DNI of their activity.
If a non-FBI person is abusing the database; or if an FBI agent simply doesn’t report his search; that/those search(es) would not show up on the monthly report to be delivered to the CLPO. Hence, how would the Civil Liberties Protection Officer even know?
That layer of compliance just doesn’t make sense.
If this process was indeed going to be a compliance review, then the report should come from the NSA/Cyber Command, not the FBI, and the NSA/Cyber Command could simply provide the audit trail to the Civil Liberties Protection Officer (DNI) monthly.
This could even be done today, without any FBI involvement whatsoever.
The simple fact that congress is putting the FBI into the compliance loop; in combination with the knowledge that the FBI is completely and institutionally corrupt, tells me that congress is trying to maintain a system that can be exploited for unlawful or unauthorized searches.
I’m not known for beating around the bush, and that is the reality of the thing. A compliance layer that includes the FBI generating a monthly report on their use of the database, is simply another layer the FBI can manipulate in order to abuse the database.
I note that nowhere in the reauthorization bill does it expressly designate who from within the FBI is responsible for the reporting.
Maddening
No…no…NO…and NO. The FISA court should be disbanded, disabled and GONE.
Since the chief clown of the supreme court (roberts) will not acknowledge this court is a sham, get rid of him as well.
This court does not protect the American people at all.
Ideally, we should repeal the, “Patriot” Act!
However, without direct action from Our Lord and Savior, I cannot honestly see that happening, unless and until (hopefully) the Fed is 100% eliminated, and burned to the ground, and the ground salted underneath!
Civil Liberties Protection Officer – Quite the fancy name for an Inspector General who will do nothing!
he’ll look for missing dildos shaped like pipe bombs and anything else shaped like a noose.
Reminds me of this:
(from June, 2021)
Conflict of interest? Fauci’s wife runs bioethics department at NIH – LifeSite (lifesitenews.com):
“Christine Grady married Dr. Anthony Fauci in 1985, and together they worked on the AIDS crisis during the 1980s. Grady, 68, is a nurse-bioethicist and a senior investigator who is now Chief of the Department of Bioethics at the NIH, and also Head of the Section on Human Subjects Research.”
Wait–what?
Forget about her husband Ratface for a minute. Being both the Ethics Czar and in charge of experimenting on humans is a giant, gaping Ethical Black Hole in and of itself.
And then you come to the Spouse Thing. A small child could tell you that you don’t have one spouse review the ethics of another spouse, especially in such a critical area. And in this “Heads I win-Tails I win” arrangement, they conveniently have Spousal Privilege from testifying against each other–another “Ethics” breach.
And then there is the Conflict Blood Money received by both Faucis while forcing a genetic experiment on everyone, including small children and pregnant women. A genetic experiment in which you’ve deceptively structured secret payments of hundreds of millions of dollars to your
selfagency–without mentioning it to the Lab Rat Public.This is what happens when you’ve been in government for as long as J. Edgar Hoover and you run a government agency like he did, as your own personal Pfiefdom.
The Faucis will decide if the Faucis did anything wrong. And if they did, they will report it to the Faucis right away!
She was with him during the #OrphanGate Murders and the Dallas Buyer’s Club AIDS Atrocities, not to mention when he was the self-anointed Illegal Beagle Kleagle.
It’s the perfect mRNA metaphor. This isn’t “Ethics”. It’s the complete inversion of Ethics.
This Swamp Arrangement itself proves their complete lack of ethics and integrity.” …….
Rest in the Vine: The Faucis Will Decide If the Faucis Are Unethical Because Shut Up
Look up Fauci’s daughter. She was working at Twitter(?) or some other social media sire helping code the algorithm for fact checking during the scamdemic.
Her husband, Ratface? That’s an insult to rats!!!
Wasn’t the last IC-OIG involved in plotting the impeachment of President Trump over a phone call with Zelensky? 🤔
Jeez they must be really scared of us.
Criminals have always been scared that honest people will catch them committing crimes. Concealment of their crimes is their Number One concern. It perfectly describes the Deep State and those elected officials who make a career in political office and get extraordinarily wealthy while doing so.
What about the fusion centers? Will they still be able to search for pay for Hillary and Soros, etc?
Probably. One way around the reporting. Pretty much what they were already doing.
Will a future president from the DNC-wing appoint Brennan or Clapper to be ODNI? This is another problem with the current proposal.
You mean like appointing the fox to guard the henhouse?
Absolutely!!
The RNC wing would be just as likely to appoint one of those clowns.
It’s a great big Uniparty.

Rep. Lauren Boebert & Rep. Eric Burlison: They’re Spying on Gun Owners, and Congress Has Until April 30 to Do Something About It
https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2026/04/23/exclusive-rep-lauren-boebert-rep-eric-burlison-theyre-spying-on-gun-owners-and-congress-has-until-april-30-to-do-something-about-it/
I could give you millions of reasons why Congress will do nothing about the data brokering, never mind anything else.
Just follow the $$$.
You can’t follow the money, and I’m becoming increasingly convinced by the fact they’ve done virtually nothing to protect the population that the scams secretly fund a lot of dark stuff various parts of our government are doing.
CLPO will be compromised or impotent in 3 months flat if not right out the gate.
Absolutely not!!! We’ve been promised that the new CLPO Jeff Sessions will be as tough as an Alabama wildcat! LOL
They will pick C3PO and express surprise at his bumbling performance.
It sounds like they just want to continue the old system unchanged – but now can point to it and say “See – Now it’s got an audit function to ensure it’s not abused,” knowing all along that their “audit function” is nothing of the sort. This is just another in a long list of scams by our dishonest Uniparty Congress. Mike Johnson is a joke.
Exactly! Who will monitor the moles who provide the members of Congress with information from CEOs and Corporate Boards to allow them to continue their very lucrative insider trading scams
President Trump should declare Congress a domestic terrorist organization.
Meaning, the FBI doesn’t maintain the audit trail, so the FBI only knows who was searched using 702 based on the FBI ‘searcher‘ reporting their search.
This allows the same level of swamp gas as a Form 302 (agent’s notes & impressions of what happened) vs. a recorded interview that cannot be disputed. Anything that leaves the FBI a path to self-vindication is not progress and should be roundly discarded.
Sounds bogus to me. Smoke and mirrors.
Yep. Details matter and no matter how impressive everything SD writes, its his attention to detail that elevates.
Exactly! The FISA judges are as corrupt as Comey, Weissman and Boasberg!
Congress will always leave an out for the deep state
“We have investigated ourselves and found ourselves innocent. It was a close call, but Justice prevailed!”
Investigating themselves is an inconvenience for their many crimes. I mean it’s tough to be a criminal while holding a seat in office today! Do you not realize the level of scrutiny?
The Shaving Mirror Test
AZ 2020 election.
We promise it had no widespread fraud.
Most honest in the country.😡
How about shutting the secret court down which tramples on our constitutional rights ?
If the house or senate is behind it it’s never gonna be good.
If CONgress is so confident they won’t be abused, then why did CONgress exempt themselves from these FISA-702 searches?
They didn’t mandate themselves to receive any poison death shots either, did they?
Meanwhile no SaveAct….they all are crooks and communists.
FUBAR
I agree with Sundance. This sounds like the people who use and abuse FISA today know that some change is going to happen, so they wrote the “change” to ensure that in reality no change will happen. This is totally bogus. The President and DNI Gabbard need to come out against it.
“If this process was indeed going to be a compliance review, then the report should come from the NSA/Cyber Command, not the FBI,”
Can the CLPO and/or ODNI request a report from NSA? After FBI submits their report, get one from NSA and see if they match.
This proposed monthly “audit” is pure image over substance.
I still don’t understand why POTUS won’t tie renewal of this to the SAVE Act……
I understand why. The two issues need to remain separate and distinct, so that CONgress can’t hide behind one or the other when they pass or fail them.
Frankly, I don’t think that CONgress wants to pass either bill. At least not while President Trump is calling all the shots!
Thune and his RINO cabal have beaten him and the large majority of Americans regarding the SAVE Act.
The President greatly wants a FISA extension, and he will have to take whatever Congress gives him, no matter how flawed.
We investigated ourselves and found we did nothing wrong again. SOS
Total joke. And, what’s worse…. if this is the best we can get under PDJT, I mean, pffff…..we are cooked.
We won’t have another like him in our lifetimes or even my kids’.
So, I completely and totally expect multiple repeats of 2016 and 2020 as a permanent feature to keep any true people’s champion or disruptor like PDJT from ever happening again.
So grateful for Patriots like PDJT and DNI Gabbard, but they just don’t have the leverage or support needed for true reformation.
‘We won’t have another like him in our lifetimes or even my kids’. ‘
True.
Some suggest:
Every President since the one assassinated in 1963 has been alike in one respect: A puppet. But every puppet is unique.
(1963 was the last time a President refused “an offer he couldn’t refuse”)
But give credit where it’s due: The imagination of the Controllers in planning the long-term is sheer genius. They have AI and panopticon surveillance fusion now, with absolute power accorded by the apparent controlled demolition event in 2001 they covered with a contrived hijacking facade, but in the early days their tools were primitive and their power not as complete.
The cast of puppets really started swinging with the elderpuppet – what a perfect ruse, simultaneously providing cover for any misdeed (“he’s just an old man developing dementia”) and shaming America in the eyes of the world (aiding the 100 Year Plan) while generating a nonstop feed of distraction with the sordid and bizarro (Ashley’s diary, sniffing little girls in public, his son).
See-saw, whip-saw, now the bull in the china shop. Gather a cult-like following on the right with promises to restore liberty and health freedom, fiscal sanity, peace; then do a 180 on every count:
-Accelerating the surveillance state panopticon.
Extending the 702 is the tip of the iceberg.
-Setting the stage for another plandemic with coerced profoundly harmful genetic manipulation shots (flu gain of function bioweapon development and self-amplifying modRNA shots – scheduled). After a whip-saw of HHS and CDC directions, now back to a tyrannical vaccine regime just in time for the coming plandemic and forced bioweapon democide. $5.5 billion for the next plandemic – dangle enough money and they will make it happen:

https://jonfleetwood.substack.com/p/trump-taps-military-grade-influenza
-Accelerating the government overspending to kick the runaway debt doom loop into overdrive. (DOGE was a ruse to degrade government function especially DoD civilians as part of degrading America. Fooled you, it only saved about 3% of one year’s budget, Trump crushed that with continuing massive overspending increases.)

-Depleting the US missile and interceptor arsenal by attacking Iran on top of pumping Ukraine, setting the stage for stepping down from post-WWII Pax Americana hegemony to diminished totalitarian component of the “Multi-Polar Global Governance” taking shape as China ascends.

And more. Every one is pushing the US in the same direction. Hint: It ain’t “great again”.
The 702 and the pivotal apparent controlled demolition in 2001 share a common nexus and layered veiling concept.
Both present a visible facade covering much greater veiled wrongdoing linked to a common veiled uber-powerful entity.
The 702 is a visible thing to keep everyone bickering while absolutely complete surveillance on many levels runs wide open behind the scenes.
The controlled demolition which catapulted the veiled entity to absolute power: ae911truth.org
The Court won’t strike down this illegal Repeal of the Fourth Amendment.
Why?
Because Chief Justice Johnny Cartel gets to handpick every single FISA Judge and target opponents of the Government Mafia. The guy in charge of defending the Fourth Amendment is the guy violating it.
Why would they put Tulsi in the Loop while they’re trying to depose her?
I smell a trap to ensnare and compromise her somehow in the #FISAFraud.
Or are they planning on another ODNI?
“Chief Justice Johnny Cartel” 😂😂😂
Outstanding!!
No Warrant Requirement says it all, even before talking about the compliance check that is not a compliance check.
Even when discussing Set Theory in mathematics, there is a category of “sets” that has has no content … The Empty or Null Set.
The latest version of the FISA 702, has compliance built in that is an Empty Set … and even comes with a Civil Liberties paragraph …. No Warrant Required = another Empty Set.
Why even bother having any rules??
… and the President signed this ???
Just for grins I gotta ask … did the DoJ Civil Rights Office review this stuff???
The DoJ = The FBI
On a more serious note …. Did the White House Counsel even look at it??
My main issue is that there needs to be specific penalties that involve jail time for every willful infraction of the rules/laws. I don’t care if it a judge or the director of the FBI without real consequences it will always be subject to misuse as a weapon. Without consequences there is NO ACCOUNTABILITY!
We are in an abusive relationship with our government. Meanwhile Thune sits on the save act and appointments.
Why monthly? Why not in real time? The Protection Officer could see an audit entry a few seconds, perhaps a minute or two, after the query was executed. There’s no technical reason for batching the information that I can see.
I don’t imagine somebody sitting in front of a screen watching everything as it comes in, but I do imagine somebody who can call up audit information and see entries up until a few minutes prior.
Can you say…Uniparty.
Americans are under attack…
While its understood that the judge ‘takes the word’ of the person wanting to spy, wouldn’t it make more sense for them to actually give proof? Then there’s the go in and do searches. Isn’t there a way to limit who searches for what? Few people should be allow to search out President Trump since he’s president but it seems a lowly FBI agent can. Its the system that needs a thorough upgrade.
Oh Mickey.. Mickey.. Mickey.
Sundance is absolutely correct that the core of this issue lies with the exploitation of the database that we *don’t* hear about. How do we address *that.*
For every buttoned-up fib monthly report we can expect a tidal wave of *unauthorized* searches by hundreds if not thousands of private contractors and by anybody who just happens by a computer terminal with the password taped up there right next to the monitor.
“That layer of compliance just doesn’t make sense.”
It doesn’t make sense to us because we are honest people.
It makes perfect sense to the organized crime cartel known as The UniParty Deep State.
It’s a feature, not a bug.
Holy Father in heaven, please open President Trump’s eyes to the obvious corruption inherent in this legislation. Give him the wisdom and the courage to crush this legislation.
I’m not ok with having my civil rights violated, and they are.
Do not authorize it. Our government doesn’t need more access to our communications.
This is BULLSHIT!
What is stopping ODNI from requesting a monthly report from NSA of FBI 7902 searches on US citizens right now?
Just a guess, but if ODNI Gabbard made such a demand, the NSA and the FBI would take her to court and claim NATIONAL SECURITY.
And Chief Justice Johnny Cartel (thank you Gipper) would side with the spies.
The Republican Governors (as many as can be mustered) need to join together, call up their state’s national guard and militia, recall their state’s US senators, and send a letter to President Trump informing him that there is a “national emergency” and he need clear Washington DC of all members of the House and Senate until such time as a “Republican Form of Government” can be restored in every state as “guaranteed” in Article. IV., Section. 4. of the US Constitution; and they, the Republican Governors, have martialed their states’ Guards and Militias and are prepared to occupy all Red states’ capitols until such time as Republican Governments can be re-established.
“The Tree of Liberty Must Be Refreshed”, and those politicians and bureaucrats with any form of mental illness or whose past actions demonstrate a “serious personality disorder” or political philosophies which are inconsistent with Republican Form(s) of Government need to be incarcerated pending trial and sentencing pursuant to the laws of the re-established republic of The United States of American.
Let the United States begin anew with the Constitution of 1789, as amended by the first ten amendments and nos. XII., XIII., XV., XX., XXII., and XXVII. As well, all stare decisis / precedents of the “supreme Court” are null and void; and, all Article. III. judges have been removed from Office, and it shall be made clear the future Article. III. judges “shall hold their Offices during good Behaviour” (there is not and never has been “lifetime tenure”), and the Article. III. courts Do Not have “supremacy” when interpreting the US Constitution nor do they have any “policymaking” or “legislative” or “executive” roles regarding or with respect to the administration of the Federal or State governments.
Nothing about the 702’s make sense.
Look squirrel
“I note that nowhere in the reauthorization bill does it expressly designate who from within the FBI is responsible for the reporting.”
Exactly.
For compliance to be effective there must be a clear list stating by name and title the order in which the authorities responsible to enforce compliance will be shot for any violations.
How about the House release the 10,000 (or even a slice) of the videos from 1/6 that were promised OR an explanation why nothing was done about a clearly non-compos mentis squatter at 1600 penn ave? Or pass a clean spending bill.
Is this a trap?
Are they going to leveraged and twisted this arrangement to set up Tulsi? My gut says that’s what they will do because there still isn’t any real guardrails in place.
(sigh)
No report, no crime, no problem. Expecting people with no honor and bad intent to be trusted under the “honor system” has led to the tyranny we are experiencing today. The IC doesn’t work for the American people.
They (Congress/Deepstaters/judges/ANY Presidential administration) just CANNOT let We the People have our 4th Amendment enforced. Every one of them promoting this is violating their oaths to uphold, protect and defend the CONSTITUTION of the United States.
But I see where one of the requirements of the FBI is to provide a manila file folder with the report logs of all the unknown attempts that they don’t keep records of.
Sundance, the best, and most accurate part of this is Mickey. IMHO.
“We are from the government and we are here to help.”
