    Those upset about #MemoDay should consider regardless of what the FBI does or doesn't put into an application, FISA warrants have had a 99.97% chance of being granted over 33 years.https://www.motherjones.com/crime-justice/2013/06/fisa-court-nsa-spying-opinion-reject-request/ …

        That statistic just indicates that the FBI doesn’t submit an application unless it meets statutory requirements, not that the requirements are too easy which I think is what you want to say.

        The federal government also has a 98% conviction rate. Does that mean that they only try people who are actually guilty?

        I think if you made it tougher for DOJ to get FISA warrants the success rate would go down for awhile as they adjusted practice then would go back up

        There is no way to know that until we do and see whether or not the total number of requests drops.

        Well said. 👍It's dangerous. And ergo, Americans who are angry that the #FISAMemo was released should ask themselves: Would YOU want the #FISACourt to be presented with a biased-narrative concocted by those who dislike you so that the #FBI could spy upon you? #MemoDay

        The #DeepState has decided whom they want to be #POTUS-- the #FISAMemo simply exemplifies the extent that corrupt politicos ala the #Clinton mafia will go to, aided-and-abetted by #USIntel to defy #WeThePeople. https://twitter.com/saneprogressive/status/924822401552125952 …

        which is why it is amazing to hear the first application for the FISA warrant was so weak that it was turned down #MemoDay

        So those that are applying for FISA warrants know the requirements and don't waste their time trying to apply without adequate information. This is such a bad argument.

        It means they are just pretty good at understanding the requirements. It's a very weak argument to try to point to any nefariousness.

        The set of requirements are only guidelines. Ultimately, a judge decides. This is how warrants work.

        Exactly. If you know the threshold you're probably going to try to hit that threshold every time. The success rate doesn't correlate to anything nefarious.

        It’s incredibly ignorant to assume that authority won’t be abused. It doesn’t have to be nefarious to be abuse. The path to hell is paved with good intentions.

        I'm not saying it cant be abused I'm saying trying to say the success rate proves it's being abused is a weak ass argument. Find a better argument.

        I think it hasn’t been released/leaked. I’m sure it has a lot in it besides the information from Steele, especially since he had been under investigation for so long and the warrant was renewed 3 times.
