The Obama Use of FISA-702 as a Domestic Political Surveillance Program – IOTW Report

The Obama Use of FISA-702 as a Domestic Political Surveillance Program

CTH: Now that we have significant research files on the 2015 and 2016 political surveillance program; which includes the trail evident within the Weissmann/Mueller report; in combination with the Obama-era DOJ “secret research project” (their words, not mine); we are able to overlay the entire objective and gain a full understanding of how political surveillance was conducted over a period of approximately four to six years.

Working with a timeline, but also referencing origination material in 2015/2016 – CTH hopes to show how the program operated.  This explains an evolution from The IRS Files in 2010 to the FISA Files in 2016.

The FISA-702 database extraction process, and utilization of the protections within the smaller intelligence community, was the primary process.  We start by reviewing the established record from the 99-page FISC opinion rendered by Presiding Judge Rosemary Collyer on April 26th, 2017; and explain the details within the FISC opinion.

I would strongly urge everyone to read the FISC report (full pdf below) because Judge Collyer outlines how the DOJ, which includes the FBI, had an “institutional lack of candor” in responses to the FISA court.  In essence, they were continually lying to the court about their activity, and the rate of fourth amendment violations for illegal searches and seizures of U.S. persons’ private information for multiple years.  more

  1. This is an outstanding article; sundance lays out important stuff here. HIGHLY recommended.

    Earlier today, I read Judge Collyer’s April 26, 2017 99-page memorandum opinion and order (displayed/linked in the article) and buried in the redacted and thus hard to decipher text found some eye-opening bits in addition to the ones sundance highlights.

    For the first one, see my CTH comment here.

    The second one is on page 81 (emphasis mine):

    In May and June 2016, NSA reported to oversight personnel in the ODNI and DOJ that, since approximately 2012, use of [redacted] to query communications in [redacted] had resulted in inadvertent violations of the above-described querying rules for Section 702 information. Id. The violations resulted from analysts not recognizing the need to avoid querying datasets for which querying requirements were not satisfied or not understanding how to formulate [redacted] queries to exclude such datasets.

    While not conclusive, for Collyer to state as fact that the violations were misunderstandings and not deliberate suggests very strongly that she’s in on the coverup/scam.

  2. Washington has been over taken by sewer swamp creatures and needs to be sanitized with live steam a few times. I’m still waiting for actual Justice to arrive armed with an AC-47D Spooky gun ship.

  3. this is the best timeline and explanation I’ve seen yet of the Obola Admin’s illegal felony-level spying against its political enemies.

    It also likely explains the hold the leftwing still has over Chief Justice Roberts on the SCOTUS. Many of his votes are mindboggling – Obamacare is at the top of that dung heap.
