John Solomon Reports: Just days after it was sharply rebuked for its conduct in the Russia collusion investigation, the FBI is declaring it possesses no records of any disciplinary action taken against lawyers who pursued a deeply flawed Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act warrant targeting the Trump campaign.
The declaration was made Thursday in a U.S. District Court motion seeking to dismiss an open records lawsuit brought by the Southeastern Legal Foundation, a public interest law firm that frequently argues cases before the Supreme Court.
The foundation’s Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) lawsuit sought any records from the FBI of actions taken with or communicated to the FISA judges or other disciplinary bodies against lawyers involved in the surveillance warrant that was obtained against Trump adviser Carter Page in October 2016 and renewed three times in 2017.
“The FBI informed Plaintiff that it was ‘unable to identify records responsive to’ the FOIA request,” the government’s motion seeking dismissal states. “Because the search requested by Plaintiff in the FOIA request and the Complaint has been conducted, Plaintiff’s claim is now moot.” keep reading
Another piece of info we haven’t seen or heard, is what do these FISA judges have to say about this. Hey John Roberts does this behavior by the FBI warrant a sternly worded letter?
Based on this it is reasonable and logic to conclude that Comey’s FBI was fully complicit!
Book him Dano!
^^^ reasonable and logicical
Of course they don’t exist. That’s the first bit of info out of the FBI I believe.
Those bloated budgets year after year aren’t for enhanced training or new hires. Industrial shredders ain’t cheap.
a reasonable conclusion would be that either the FISA court was duped …. or the FISA court was in on it …. & the Chief Justice may have to testify, or at least explain his actions
Roberts presiding over the Impeachment Trial could be considered ‘biased’ & therefore could be disqualified
probably won’t happen, but a really interesting little can of worms just opened up
the FISA court was in on it
Is this just like the media:”We didn’t report on any scandals during the Obama administration so there weren’t any?”

So, you’re saying “Giddily incompetent” is, now, just as good as “Just following orders”?

Good point, but Be careful what you wish for…he might appoint Ruth as his substitute!
My, my, isn’t that not a surprise. Time to fire all of them, from Wrey down.
@TonyR ~ not wishing for anything … just putting it out there
btw, not worried about Ruthie … if she shows up at all (her ‘handlers’ can’t sub for her), she’ll be asleep in her chair … lol
The devils look after their own.
@Anon ~ didn’t say one was ‘as good’ as the other at all. don’t read into things if they aren’t said … but, it’s all good (I gotta learn to chill more)
btw, please pick a frickin’ name. ‘wish to remain anonymous #001’, or ‘wish to remain anonymous #002’, something! so people can at least have some continuity on who they are communicating with! … is it too much to ask? …. sigh … stepping down off my soap box now …
So this means we will be going down this same road again at some point. They can’t police themselves, this is the proof.
I’ve seen plenty of evidence over the last two years supporting abolition of the FBI. It was created by executive fiat and can be dissolved in exactly the same way. The very idea of a national police force with superjurisdiction over the states would have been anathema to the Founding Fathers, because they understood how easily it could become a corrupt and self-serving institution, one working in its own interest rather than the interests of American citizens.
And that is precisely what has happened. Hoover was a neurotic, power-mongering tranny who should never have been put in charge of anything more important than a hot dog cart.
Why have a FISA court if they are just going to rubber stamp any thing that comes their way. Did they even question the prostitutes peeing on the bed or just fantasize about it. Maybe the first one you let go but without something REAL to show from the FBI the other warrants should have been denied.
Or,,,, they were in on it.
@BrassG ~ yeah, but he did a mean imitation of Mamie Eisenhower
& … ” … a neurotic, power-mongering tranny who should never have been put in charge of anything more important than a hot dog cart.” … you just described every D’rat who’s in a government position … from hot dog cart vender inspector to Nancy P’lousy
@tctsumani ~ in it’s entire existence, since 1978, the FISC has allowed over 33k+ warrants. only 11 warrants have been rejected …. that’s <.003%
it's a rubber-stamp Star Chamber that is unconstitutional … shame on the SCOTUS (& Jimma Carter) for perpetuating this on the US people … & shame on us for letting them do this to us.
The corrupt and CRIMINAL FBI
should be terminated
Fire Everybody
and
Start Anew with an entirely
new organization of entirely
new hires who are dedicated to
doing their jobs and NOT
extending deep state corruption.
The same goes for the
DOJ, CIA and NSA !
Roberts can’t possibly preside over an impeachment trial as he’s a material witness. It would have to be Thomas.
From what I have read there is no way for Roberts to recuse himself since the Constitution is clear that the Chief Justice must preside over a Senate impeachment trial. If he recused himself then whichever other Justice attempting to fill in would be unconstitutional.
Roberts would have to step down from being Chief Justice, at which time the constitution requires the President to name a new Chief Justice. Welcome Chief Justice Kavanaugh.
