Keep in mind the FISA (702) extension already passed the House, and the bill is sitting in the Senate where the ever-predictable John Thune is not bringing it up for a vote.
This morning the House tried to pass a short-term FISA (702) extension for three weeks (ending July 2). The measure failed by a vote of 218 to 198. In addition to Democrats, nineteen republicans also voted against it.
The Democrats are claiming their lack of support surrounds the appointment of Bill Pulte as Acting DNI effective June 19, and their concern that Pulte will weaponize the FISA (702) authority to conduct political surveillance. Yes, it’s a rather hypocritical projection within their claim.
[SOURCE]
Now, you might ask yourself…. where in the world would the Democrats get the idea that FISA (702) would be used to get “dirt on President Trump’s political enemies.” What would lead them to that suspicion?
As customary, the radical leftists are projecting based on their own conduct. This is the same “702” authority that Barack Obama and Joe Biden previously used to do exactly that political surveillance. We have outlined the entire operation in granular detail citing all of the FISA records that showed exactly what the Obama-Biden group were doing.
It’s difficult to keep general information hidden in/around Washington DC, and I suspect Democrat Leadership have heard something about what DNI Tulsi Gabbard is poised to release surrounding FISA (702) abuse.
For more than a few years CTH has been chasing multiple records relating to known FISA (702) abuses, including our effort to get the previous notification from the National Security Agency (NSA) to the FISA Court which outlined key details about which offices, agencies and portals were used by “contractors” to exploit the NSA database.
Additionally, do not forget there are classified versions of Inspector General Michael Horowitz’s investigative report(s) on known FISA 702 abuses once he was given access to the Dept of Justice National Security Division. Horowitz specifically investigated Obama era FISA (702) abuses and outlined two reports, one public (redacted) and one classified.
Without going into a lot of detail, I suspect Tulsi Gabbard and Aaron Lucas might be releasing some newly declassified information surrounding prior NSA database abuse and declassified information about the identified surveillance targets therein. This might explain where that unusually specific concern from Democrat leadership is originating.
Methinks they doth protest too much.
Oh, the irony….
The democrats were forced to run Biden in 2024 because, without him, an open primary might have been won by RFK Jr. So they predictably got stuck with Harris, when an RFK-Tulsi ticket might have defeated Trump, had both not been purged from the party for heresy. Man plans, God laughs.
“RFK-Tulsi ticket might have defeated Trump.”
PFFFFF!!
I like both of them but not against President Trump. No no no no no….
By the way I’m the original Phil…LOL
The big question is: one L or two?
I hope that Trump would still have won, but the addition of MAHA to MAGA was a big boost, and Harris was a terrible candidate. And it’s a good example of how arrogance can become self-destructive hubris.
I think Harris will be their terrible candidate one more time.
Maybe. But the last time they nominated a candidate who had already lost a general election was Adlai Stevenson back in 1956 (he had previously lost in 1952). They don’t like to run proven losers, no matter what the excuses for the loss were.
But it doesn’t really matter who they go with since none are better than Harris. Who else could it be? Buttplug? Alexandria Occasional Cortex? Newsum or any number of other governors or mayors who are driving their states and cities into the ground? They don’t have much to choose from, so they might as well go with Harris. Maybe she can get Biden’s margin of 20 millon dead and illegals to help give her the win, supplemented of course by those many truckloads of newly printed duplicate drop-box and mail-in ballots for the ballot counting that would go past Thanksgiving.
An RFK Tulsi ticket would have defeated the radical woke communist wing of the Democratic party and they weren’t about to allow that to happen. Potato Joe was the perfect transformation fake President, they thought they would have Trump locked up or at least of the ballot by 2025.
Laughing @tulsi/rfk
Your supposition is one of the most ridiculous I’ve read on this website; Donald trump would have “wiped out” that type opposition. Regards, Former U. S. Naval Flight Officer
They were denied by God; not their fellow politicians!
Tee Hee! ……..
Sounds like a personal problem to me…just sayin….
Only to intelligent, critical thinking people.
To people with no moral, logical, or philosophical anchors (i.e., Democrats) any excuse can be used if it justifies the stated positions or actions in question.
“…and their concern that Pulte will weaponize the FISA…”
Otter: He can’t do that do that to our pledges.
Boon: Only we can do that to our pledges.
If they didn’t have double standards, they wouldn’t be nearly as entertaining.
If they didn’t have double standards, they wouldn’t have any any standards.
That’s EXACTLY what I was thinking! I’m lovin’ this, but it’s kind of hard!!! It’s so rich, and I’m a 50+year Type 1 diabetic!!!
Let them chickens come home to roost maga times.
At least a reckoning…whatever happened to Glenn Simpson…?
Yeah, get the grill going!!!
As SD has pointed out many times, 702 is just the gateway to information that is already being collected. Think of it like a search engine for the internet except the internet are your comms, records, data. It is the fact that they even collect searchable information to begin with that violates our 4th amendment rights. The failure to reauthorize 702 does NOT stop them from collecting our stuff.
The abuse of 702 is mind blowing in scale and at one point I thought that the former Mrs. BNG may have hired a “contractor” to search it during our divorce proceeding/s.
Wait until all those hundreds upon hundreds of…uh…AI “Data Centres” come on line.
I suspect we ain’t seen nothing yet.
For what it’s worth those data centers are only going to be as good as the data they work with.
Garbage in, garbage out.
And that is before you figure in that the learning language model “AIs” regularly hallucinate either way.
Reposting stuck awaiting approval.
I’ve been thinking about that since I read they want them all connected like a centralized brain.
Connecting them all to each other could become the NSA database on steroids to the nth degree. No good for us pleebs.
Thank you for this explanation, Sundance! Not sure why the Bill Pulte nomination is blowing up everyone’s world, but considering the people who seem the most upset about it are some of the worst actors of the last 20-plus years, I am slightly encouraged!
And those actors are on both sides of the political aisle, I might add… 🙄
VM: you are spot on. Since President Trump came down the escalator it has always been helpful to notice who he is agitating the most regardless of the wing of the Uniparty. It is one of the best “tells”.
Anything that gets Warner to slobber unintelligible drivel means he is over the Mark (Wordman?)
The higher the decibels and voice pitch, the more closely we should all be paying attention. That’s the metric I employ, sis…
As you say, for both sides of the mutual back slapping political aisle.
Betsy, far from it be me to question your veracity, but did you mean back stabbing instead of back slapping?
Back slapping for them…
Backs stabbing for the rest of us 😎
I sure they do/be both at the same time.
About the “over the target” concept — I think of those metal detectors you sweep over the ground hunting for treasure — “beep ——-beep—-beep–beep-beepbeepbeepBEEPBEEPBEEEEEEPPPPP!
Pulte is an outsider and therefore a disruptive agent. He sees no need to respect the old-boy network or silo system.
Interesting that President Trump keeps pointing out that Pulte is coming in to reduce the size of the agency prior to someone else being nominated. Classic send in the corporate gunslinger to clear the path for the incoming director. That has to be creating swamp critter splodey heads everywhere.
Pulte clears the road, and the next DNI drops the hammer? If only.
Pulte is an outsider who just might fire a lot of the bad actors. That’s why both sides are so upset about him.
Good. An evil device held in the wrong hands is still evil in the right hands. Let’s find other ways and throw this baby out with the bath water.
Accuse your enemies of what you have done.
How does one get the genie back in the bottle? It seems we are already past the point of no return. So, how does one manage or oversee this monstrous impact to our privacy? Once the toothpaste is out of the tube, it ain’t going back in! What can we do to save our republic???
J6, but for real and with arms. burn and loot gentry DC.
Not that I am advocating one way or the other, just saying that What I Saw At The Coup was an interesting read for me.

Thank you.
TURN BACK TO GOD!!!
We never had this problem, at least to THIS extent, when we were (or appeared to be) a GENUINE practicing Christian nation!
You know, start with the easy stuff.
-NO unnecessary businesses open on Sundays.
-Remove the FCC license/s from ANY and ALL media that includes swearing AND using the Lord’s Name in vain on the radio/tv waves!
-Stop any/all killing of God’s babies.
-Stop trying to act like God by creating babies in ANY/ALL ways other than He designed!
I addressed this in a prior thread wrt same topic.
President Trump has the authority (and the responsibility) to sign an executive order tonight at midnight.
It reads. Henceforth, no agency, or executive branch of government, direct government employee or contractor may perform any surveillance on any US CITIZEN ON US JURISDICTION.
That is what is required. This action, forces the issue out into the open. It renders the secret police spy state violating an executive order if caught. And that is exactly what needs to happen. People need to be exposed for the hoovering of private information about US citizens, who have not committed any crimes, no judge and courts have been brought any evidence of any wrongdoing.
And just so you know, that you are informed. YES, PRESIDENT TRUMP KNOWS HE HAS THIS AUTHORITY. HE HAS ALWAYS KNOWN HE HAS THIS AUTHORITY.
then let the legal arguments actually happen and work it all the way up to SCOTUS.
Should President Trump do this, his legacy will be remarkable as the only President of the United States who forced the executive branch TO ACTUALLY FOLLOW THE CONSTITUTION> He will go down as a true champion OF THE PEOPLE.
what say you President Trump.
don’t squander this opportunity. Lean fully making what ought to be..WHAT IS.
God Bless America
I like this and think this is a great idea Regitiger. Maybe we could get the Dems and the RINOs on board by using it to illegally spy on them, I mean look how livid they were when they found out they were being spied on and making demands for a half million for every violation.
Keep pushing it, and they could become the biggest proponents of no more 702.
Why would they be worried about scrutiny if they haven’t done anything wrong?///
These are the same people who wanted every online seller platform (eBay, FB Marketplace, Etsy, Poshmark) to report to the government that you sold $600+ worth of merchandise to pay taxes on the “windfall”.
I despise these people and their double standards.
No, they aren’t protesting too much. It seems very straight forward to me. DC knows how FISA was abused. They know that with Dems in control, they’ll be okay. When President Trump puts in specific people (Tulsi) in specific places (ODNI), then the Dems start to worry. It’s a no brainer that they’d want to end FISA. Wait a few years and when President Trump is gone, reinstate it. They think they can because the Repubs would back them in doing so. Short term end for peace of mind from both Dems and Repubs with a look to afterwards and back to normal UnipartyDC.
Repeating what I’ve been saying since December of 2020, it is likely the NSA database contains evidence of behind-the-scenes communication among the perpetrators of election fraud which conclusively proves their involvement in that fraud.
What legally defensible processes could be used to release that evidence for use in prosecuting election fraud perpetrators so that a fraudster-friendly judge can’t easily deny its use in a court trial?
Likely correct re the NSA database containing evidence of election theft. As big of issue for DC would be the trail left behind on accessing that same database for insider trading.
Tulsi Gabbard’s presence at the Fulton County, Georgia raid indicates to me that information in the NSA database might now be employed to assist in building a case against the election fraud perpetrators in that state.
It could be that evidence in the NSA database related to election fraud includes examples of foreign interference gathered under a FISA 702 warrant issued after Gabbard took office. If such evidence indicates that a conspiracy existed involving foreign interference in our elections, even peripherally on the edges, then the statute of limitations isn’t in effect.
The capability of the NSA database to collect direct evidence of election fraud, and other kinds of crimes, might be one reason among several why Democrats and UniParty Republicans might not want to see FISA 702 renewed.
try the statute of limitations
Fraud has none and only tolls once the hidden “facts”, “evidence”, “conspiracy” becomes known.
Conspiracies carry no statute of limitations
Something else just comes to mind. Let’s assume that the NSA database has recently collected evidence of massive fraud in the California primary election. Could that evidence be legally unlocked by a FISA 702 warrant if it is suspected that foreign interference was involved, even if only peripherally?
You have nothing to fear but fear itself and seems our representative lawmakers have much to fear. Have you noticed that since President Trump has taken office, lawmakers are doing more hiding of their information than actually passing laws? Do I see the trembling of knees?
I see urine all down a LOT of legs!
I love how all the derogatory comments when Tusli first was chosen to now that we see what she has delivered
“This might explain where that unusually specific concern from Democrat leadership is originating.”
IMO the mushroom cloud is too small. However, it gets the point across.
If no one from the LSM brings up the name Kevin Clinesmith in this discussion, it tells you everything you need to know. And we know they won’t bring up their fellow TDS minion.
Bill Pulte is like Scaramucci when it comes to the DNI role. He’s going to come in, shine a light on some specific issues, then leave when the permanent DNI is named. The main difference between then and now is that Pulte is likely aware of the game.
Pulte isn’t just aware of the game. He knows what position and role he is assigned to play in the game, which is to clean house at DNI in ways that Tulsi Gabbard couldn’t do without suffering too much collateral damage herself.
Yes! This is why Warner was noticeably agitated. Oh what will Pulte find?
“Oh what will Pulte find?”
More like: “Oh, what did they already find?”
Often times an attorney won’t ask a question unless they already know the answer.
My guess is that Pulte is assigned to take action based on what has already been found. And what has already been found is of such a nature that it is too much for anyone else to deal with without suffering severe collateral damage themselves.
And the Jackass brays like a … jackass.?? Well maybe they should have been a little more timely, like maybe I dunno 10 years sooner maybe..
I love Shakespeare!
I’ll be spying on thee, but don’t you dare spy on me.
When the flak starts getting worse, you know you’re over the target…..
Why this admin hasnt been spying on congress the entire time in order to get bills passed is beyond me.
Shoulda been spying of Cali gov too.
President Trump is nominating Jay Clayton (not to be confused with Clayton Moore or Jay Silverheels) to be the new DNI.
I don’t know anything about Mr. Clayton but I’m sure that others in the CTH community are familiar with him. I’m anxious to learn more.
Bruce, Jay Clayton, is a former SEC Chairman, a top attorney at Sullivan & Cromwell, and current U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York
Sullivan and Cromwell is a major concern.
Sundance, look like Jay Clayton is getting the DNI nod. What are your thoughts on him?
👿👹👿👹👿
Good ! Get rid of this abused system.How many Carter Page’s do we need to see that tells us that the Rosemary Collyer’s and James “Jeb” Boasberg and their ilk don’t care about our rights?
I hope the President stands firm on the Pulte designation. It is only eight days until Pulte takes over.
We are with you President Trump. You have the right to your own choice for interim posts.
The point of this is so that the democrats can set a useful narrative, which will be effective.
They are highlighting that 702’s are bad.
They jump on this bandwagon so they (and the RINO’s) can say,
“SEE! SEE! Pulte has weaponized the 702’s to to spy on Trump’s political opponents!!!
That will be the narrative.
If anyone thinks it will break through this info came from weaponization from democrats, you haven’t been paying attention.
Let the lawsuits to prevent the release of the information begin.
And of course with an assist from Paul, Thune, Collins, etc. claiming that (because they are just so honorable and high minded) that they can’t abide the abuse to our liberties the release of this info will cause.
What if….
Pulte has already found some major fraud in the Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac and FHFA (Federal Housing Finance Agency)?
Through DNI the major foreign players with the domestic ones (not only Individuals but ngo’s, privates org’s, etc) may be sweating bullets.
As @Sundance says,
“Boy Howdy!”
The Dems getting paranoid over thinking the Repub’s may have the audacity to use their own methods of previous cheating to pull some dirty tricks on them? This is so rich!
Democrats are scared their weapon might be turned around on them.
I hope one of the things to be declassified is FISC Judge Rosemary Collyer’s opinion on FISA abuse.
Democrats and rinos are scared their weapon might be turned around upon them.
Well, some illegal surveillance is more equal than others.
Quick fact check on congresscritters Himes and Raskin (and Jeffries, Clark, and Aguilar): Does the law establishing the ODNI (was it the Patriot Act?) actually require that the DNI have “extensive” national security experience, or is that perhaps just a strongly-worded suggestion (or even a “norm” that isn’t in the actual law)?
Not only are they illegally collecting information on Americans, but there are 10,000 terminals that anyone can use to search the illegal database.
10,000!
Maxine Waters did say tha Obama had info on EVERBODY
{ BREAKING: Trump Announces New Nominee to Replace Tulsi Gabbard as Director of National Intelligence }
So I’d like to understand Thune’s willingness to expedite this confirmation…
I look forward to Thune trying to get Clayton’s nomination through before Pulte takes over as Acting DNI.
Once Clayton is confirmed, Pulte would step down, but apparently Pulte having DNI authority for even a short time has a lot of Deep Staters nervous.
Should be entertaining to watch.
Are the Democrats worried about being investigated—or what would be discovered?
I think bank accounts, off shore hidden accounts, money trails on all Congress critters, judges, goverment workers, banking systems, etc, will be exposed. Their NGO’s, foreign payoffs, cabal affiliation, TREASON, everything will come into the light. It’s coming!
Praise the Lord!🙏🙌
Are you listening Kash? Do you have Mary’s phone #? You can start anywhere. Not 1 of them is innocent.
Provide a tool and the Democrats will find away to manipulate it, corrupt it, and commit fraud. The last thing leftists want is fairness.
Jamie Raskin is a low life rotten pile of camel dung infested with maggots.
I wonder if AI would be able to figure out enough of redacted words so people could see the report?
Hey Ovomit- “No, it wasn’t Tulsi dropping that bomb cuz her bombs will land directly on your graying Mooslum head!”
Considering d/s/c just voted for Graham Platner and did not care about all the dirt that he had exposed, how bad is the dirt on current Congressional d/s/c office holders that would concern them?
Well.. color me not surprised. When FISA 702 searches are finally actually aimed at the treasonous coup plotters well.. of course the UNiparty will suddenly hate FISA 702 searches..
The democrats and the gopE do not want President Trump to have access to the same intel machinery that was used against him and his supporters. The commie dog wads know the power that is possible by using/abusing it and without the Save America Act and the FISA 702, the 2028 democrat cheat foundation has two major obstacles removed.
FISA brings down the house.
Jail
What is Trump arranged a special leak to democratic Congress might be under 702 surveillance?
Or what if they are under 702 surveillance?
Either way, they didn’t care when it targets Trump or Republicans. The one thing that could motivate them to stop 702 is being targeted.
