The @lawfareblog crew - Comey friend @benjaminwittes & ex-NSA lawyer @Susan_Hennessey - became liberal heroes by spending 3 years telling you the FISA process was so rigorous & prevented abuse.

They lied to you. Read @charlie_savage on the IG Report: nytimes.com/2019/12/11/us/…
@lawfareblog @benjaminwittes @Susan_Hennessey @charlie_savage When the Snowden revelations began, NSA defenders - including President Obama - insisted the FISA process protects Americans from abuse.

That was always a lie. @ACLU spent years suing over it. The Snowden documents proved it. We could report this in 2013: theguardian.com/commentisfree/…
@lawfareblog @benjaminwittes @Susan_Hennessey @charlie_savage @ACLU Because the strategy of anti-Trump liberals - including news networks - was to venerate CIA, DOJ, NSA & DHS as noble, truth-telling patriotic heroes, the US's biggest liars and power abusers are now liberal icons who do more than anyone to shape news in the US. It's a disaster.

On the scandal of historic proportions - for both FBI & the media outlets that united with it - revealed by the DOJ's IG Report, proving serial FBI deceit to spy on a US citizen during a presidential campaign, & the mountain of media lies about it all: theintercept.com/2019/12/12/the…
The links to the material I referenced in the above video about the FBI spying scandal (☝️):

The @ACLU op-ed in the @washingtonpost: washingtonpost.com/opinions/2019/…

The @charlie_savage article in the @nytimes: nytimes.com/2019/12/11/us/…
Chris Wallace did a superb job interviewing @Comey in a way that not only showed how systematic & grave was the FBI's abuse of its power but - as importantly - how long and deliberately Comey and his media supporters lied about all of this to the public

Excellent @ACLU op-ed in the @WashingtonPost on how grave are the revelations about the FBI's abuse of its spying powers against Carter Page, and how it reveals how urgently reforms are needed. Good to see the ACLU recognizing the gravity of this scandal washingtonpost.com/opinions/2019/…
@ACLU @washingtonpost Any of the national security journalists & security state cable stars who spent 3 years falsely smearing Carter Page as a criminal & Kremlin agent - all based on doctored FBI submissions to a court - feel like apologizing to him or does his ideology mean he got what he deserved?
@ACLU @washingtonpost Why does nobody trust the media???????

Why do people turn to Fake News??????

Why do politicians know they can benefit by making the media their enemy????

What a mystery.

LOL - This is both hilarious and repulsive: one of the US's most paranoid, conspiratorial and Kremlin-obsessed journalists complains that there's **too much transparency**. Her excuse (of course) is that it helps Russia; her real reason is it exposes her narrative as a fraud:
I understand there are people who hate transparency & want everything secret based on the paranoid view that transparency helps the Big Bad Enemies.

I understand when people with that mentality go to work for CIA or NSA. I don't understand why they'd become journalists.
It was during the Snowden reporting when I realized just how big Journalists Against Transparency Club is.

I've done reporting in a lot of countries and it's only in the US where journalists take the lead in demanding greater state secrecy & scorning transparency. It's bizarre.

The @FBI’s #FISA warrant to #Spy on Trump campaign adviser @CarterWPage—a key part of the agency’s investigation of the Trump campaign—has been fraught with irregularities.

By Jeff Carlson @themarketswork (Thread 👇) theepochtimes.com/an-examination…
Ahead of the release of the #DOJ Inspector General's #FISAReport, we provide an overview of what exactly the known irregularities are.

The initiation of the investigation by @JusticeOIG was originally announced on March 28, 2018.
However, the #IGReport has been repeatedly pushed back and delayed.

IG #Horowitz declared his area of original focus within his initiation announcement:

THREAD: Deep State Government.

1. It is good to be aware and prepared for whatever might unfold after the exposure of darkness.

Once enough people become aware of the presence of evil, it will shift collective consciousness in a more aggressive way than we have yet experienced.
2. We are now very close to this event. Prepare well, as it may be traumatic for many.

Justice will only follow this shift in consciousness. It cannot lead our awakening. This may sound odd, but it is logical.

Evil will always hide without accountability and transparency.
3. Being awake to the “infrastructure of evil” ensures that humanity will demand it be dismantled. This process is already happening world-wide.

Just observe how different the dinner conversations are from two years ago!

It is happening.

If Erik Prince got picked up on a FISA (Foreign Intelligence Surveillance) and unmasked during/after his Seychelles trip why doesn't our government have his deleted texts to Steve Bannon and vice versa? Asking for a three letter friend. #NSA
FISA was an outgrowth of Nixon’s abuse of federal law enforcement agencies to spy on hostile (to him at least) political and activist groups. Obama was still President when Prince and others tried to undermine imposed Russian sanctions imposed on a hostile foreign nation.
Prince along with George Nader (who works with Russia, Iraq, Israel, UAE and KSA) also pitched Israeli and UAE dirty campaign tricks to Trump Jr in his effort to gain favor with Trump. Not hostile nations, but again, caught working on behalf of a foreign nation.
