The release of FISA (Foreign Intell Surveillance Agency)Warrants or Applications are never disclosed?
"It is absolutely unprecedented," said David Kris. "The applications are not even released to defense attorneys in criminal prosecutions of people who have been wire tapped

"... under FISA, let alone revealed to general public even with these heavy redations. So this is an 'extraordinary event' that has occurred here."

Dangerous? 🚨
"Well by the time we got to these particular FISA applications alot of water was already under the bridge thanks to the back and forth precipitated by Chairman Nunes of House Intelligence Committee and his disclosures of various information.

What I see in these redacted FISAs is the government has revealed things that were already in the public domain thanks to that prior activity but they haven't added any new information or not very much that I see.

✔These applications already substantially undermine the President's narratives and that of his proxies and it seems to me very likely that if we get below the tip of the iceberg into the submerged parts and more is revealed it is going to get worse not better.

But it would also potentially be dangerous to disclose additional information because some of this obviously pertains to ongoing investigative activity and intelligent sources and methods. And that is why the government kept the information back which means we are going to be

in a posture of asemetric political warfare with the President free to make up any 'facts' suit him and the FBI limited in what it can say in response because if its obligation to protect its sources and methods."
