CTH: In November of 2019 buried deep in the congressional budget Continuing Resolution (CR) was a short-term extension to reauthorize the FISA “business records provision”, the “roving wiretap” provision, the “lone wolf” provision, and the more controversial bulk metadata provisions [Call Detail Records (CDR)], all parts of the Patriot Act. As a result of the FISA CR inclusion the terminal deadline was pushed to March 15, 2020.
AG Bill Barr is requesting a clean FISA renewal with no reforms or revisions. Senate Leader Mitch McConnell and Judiciary Chairman Lindsey Graham support the AG request. The American people want it scrapped, or, at a minimum strongly revised. Congress is trying to hide the FISA renewal within the Coronavirus appropriations bill.
According to media reporting, Rand Paul said he talked to President Trump yesterday, and President Trump does not support a “clean renewal” of the FISA authorities that were used against him and his campaign: read more
SNIP: Barr has big brass ones asking for no revisions/reform.
Call. Cocaine Mitch, Ms. Lindsey, and your Congresscritter and let em know that the clean renewal is bullshizzle. (Be nice. The Liberal ones trigger easily)
Why do I feel like calling those idiots would be equivalent to asking my cats to clean the house while I’m at work?
^^^ I know, right? LOL. I should have added, call them and torture them.
The Deep State at work again.
We can’t vote them out this time around, President Trump needs them he knows it and they know it.
2 years from now all bets are off if they don’t get in line.
MJA tortures cats? Who knew? /s
Shut. It. Down.
F ucking

Not only should it not be “cleanly” renewed,
Not only should it not be reworked,
Not only should it not be merely completely repealed,
New legislation should be passed making any future attempts to re-enact FISA or similar unconstitutional surveillance system a criminal act punishable by 20 years imprisonment for any and all legislators proposing or, worse, voting for such legislation. On top of that, the House and Senate need to pass unanimously a constitutional amendment resolution forbidding such surveillance of American citizens and passing that resolution on to the States for ratification.
Oh, and give the AG 30 seconds to change his mind and announce that on Fox News, CNN, and RT.
Does not support full renewal. But anything less will make Ivanka cry. Again. What’s a Daddy to do, Rand? Sad.
