At last we have a ruling from the FISA court about the warrants issued in 2016 to spy on Carter Page and Donald Trump. Trump supporters have claimed from the beginning that these warrants were obtained fraudulently by not telling the court that the Steele dossier was unverified. In fact, the dossier was marked “VERIFIED” at the top, which means those who signed the FISA requests committed perjury.
The Democratic National Convention paid Christopher Steele to compile the dossier, so that it could be used to get the FISA warrants to spy on the Trump campaign. This clear abuse of power and corruption is now almost fully exposed by the FISA court itself, which is still reeling from the hit on its reputation. In the end, the FISA court may be disbanded as a result of this abuse.
Ex-FBI director James Comey always insisted that he broke no laws, no doubt hoping that the FISA judge would never contradict his testimony.
This is a very important ruling and no doubt will ultimately result in prison sentences for all who signed those FISA requests: Comey, McCabe, Rosenstein, Lynch, and others. Their unlawful actions have resulted in three years of unnecessary turmoil within the US government, as well as countless lies told by the mainstream media which have deceived millions of people worldwide.
The FISA court's top judge wrote in a secret ruling on January 7 that at least two of the four spy warrants against Carter Page were invalid and not lawfully authorized.
Authority granted to the federal government to secretly wiretap and spy on former Trump affiliate Carter Page was “not valid,” the nation’s top spy court noted in a secret ruling penned earlier this month. The order from the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court (FISC), which was created and authorized by the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA), was initially signed and issued on January 7, 2020, but was not declassified and released until Thursday afternoon.
Judge James Boasberg, the current federal judge presiding over the FISA court, wrote in his order that at least two of the four FISA applications against Carter Page were unlawfully authorized. Additionally, according his order, the Department of Justice similarly concluded following the release of a sprawling investigate report on the matter by the agency’s inspector general that the government did not have probable cause that Page was acting as an agent of a foreign power. The FISA law states that American citizens cannot be secretly spied on by the U.S. government absent probable cause, based on valid evidence, that an American is unlawfully acting as a foreign agent….
In his January 7 order, Boasberg directed DOJ to retain and sequester all information and evidence relevant to both the Carter Page applications, the inspector general investigation of FISA abuse, and any additional DOJ investigations related to or spawned by the inspector general’s report. Boasberg told DOJ to provide all of the required information to the FISA court no later than January 28.
