Page 4 - Fisa Process News Today

Leaks, pursuing leaks of national security information, which was the allegation here. but when you have the department of justice seeking the phone records and the e-mail records of two members of congress, doesnt this raise serious questions about the separation of powers and also about using the department of justice as a political weapon? >> well, first of all, inspector general michael horowitz is looking into this and hes the same guy, speaking of abuses of power, who uncovered the obama a...

A-- thats why its fake news. ed: i got you. >> ive got another question for you, hang on. >> and theyll suppress truth otherwise. ed: pardon me, but bottom line, its beyond the media, but when you have adam schiff wrote that memo that suggested that everything was fine with the fisa process and when recently asked in an interview whether hes going to apologize or do something to carter page to make up for the fact that he was surveilled, he basically blew it off. what does that tell you? >> abso...

Thats my honest assessment here. okay, you heard the comments of the inspector general today. i thought they were powerful and added clarity to his report. he also was working within a bubble, both prosecutors durham and attorney general barr, their comments, i do not believe, senator, would be made but were knowledge of they have that we do not have to this is far deeper and far worse than anybody does and it has taken them overseas to italy, great britain, and other places. where do you imagin...

>> sean: not easy to get out of the way. okay, you heard the comments of the inspector general today. i thought they were powerful and added clarity to his report. he also was working within a bubble, their comments, i do not believe, senator, would be made but for knowledge that they have that we do not have that this is far deeper and far worse than anybody knows and it has taken them overseas to italy, great britain, and other places. where do you imagine this ends up? because i cant see this...

Off. id be ticked off. this is just rogue in my opinion. >> look, let me get in here because senator santorum, i want to remind folks the fbi director chris wray said this was specifically not spying. there are issues with the fisa process. wed all agree. theres a degree of moving the goal post to the durham report because some folks were invested in the mass indictments they nled would come out of the ag report that did not materialize. theres christmas silver lining here because back in the da...

Issue and the issue of the fbi and the processes that were abused, and i think clearly for partisan purposes is going to be the bigger story come november than -- >> really? worse than watergate? worse than watergate, senator? >> i think youre going to see lots of indictments of fbi individuals for the role that they played in this. and i think that will be a huge story come november. >> charlie dent, what say you? >> the ig -- look. the ig was pretty clear. he felt the russia investigation was ...

Evidence thats exculpatory as well as those that support the warrant. and they didnt do that. and the question is, how often they dont do it. so, look, if you have people with bad motives at the fbi, they can abuse the fisa process. and thats why the fisa court took a remarkable step of condemning the fbi and saying you have to clean up your act. >> there was a point to the critics of the fisa process back in the day? >> no question about it. >> one thing i love having you on "new day," its an e...

>> total confidence that the fisa process was followed and the case was handled enough of a responsible way. >> overconfident in the procedures. >> he had to cut celebration. >> the biggest lump of coal, not much brings republicans and democrats together but the one thing we can agree on is james comey, both sides of the aisle. there were 17 errors by the fbi, james comey struggles to take responsibility even though he was head of the fbi during this time. the martyr aspects he is putting out no...

The things that i personally hope that will come out of this is the complete re-examination of the legal regime that should be used to pursue these necessary and intrusive investigative techniques. see what kind of accountability do you think is here. as i look at this, the whole history of the fisa process was set up in the wake of the abuses on j j edgar uber. they set that up to sort of so and we can never happen again. now in the case will clearly some people, evidence even that there was a ...
