    Both @joshgerstein — https://twitter.com/joshgerstein/status/981277195950870530 … — and @gabrielmalor — https://twitter.com/gabrielmalor/status/981279974945705984 … — are raising obvious questions about a claimed "BOMBSHELL" report from @SaraCarterDC.

    Chris Geidner added,

    Gabriel Malor @gabrielmalor
    BTW, the basic knowledge that only the FISC in D.C. issues FISA warrants entirely undercuts the "bombshell" premise of the piece, which is that "FBI May Have RUSHED Anti-Trump FISA Warrant" at the EDVA. https://twitter.com/gabrielmalor/status/981278234682822656 …

        Some pretty significant, direct DOJ pushback on this story —>https://twitter.com/ZoeTillman/status/981301473391906816 …

        Zoe TillmanVerified account @ZoeTillman
        This story quotes a Peter Strozk text as saying he was told "EDVA is/was the delay" on a Carter Page warrant. The text isn't public, but a DOJ spox told us the text is not related to the special counsel probe (or Hillary/either campaign/the election) https://saraacarter.com/bombshell-secret-texts-show-fbi-doj-may-have-rushed-anti-trump-fisa-warrant/ …

        Replying to @chrisgeidner @joshgerstein and

        Ok, I'm stuck on the part - in the first sentence - that says the FBI may have "improperly coordinated" with DOJ on a FISA application. The FBI is required by statute to coordinate with DOJ on FISA applications.

        Also, it's not clear to me why an FBI agent complaining about a delay indicates that anything was being rushed. Complaining about DOJ delays in getting surveillance orders - even routine Title III's - is a thing basically every federal agent does.

        Replying to @bradheath @chrisgeidner and

        Also, it's not clear why rushing would be improper, as long as the application they submitted to the court was sufficient. FISA has many rules, but there's none about how quickly or slowly the gov't must move in preparing an application.

        The clarification makes even less sense. The U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia cannot issue FISA orders. By law, those applications *must* go to a judge on the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court. 50 U.S.C. § 1804(a).pic.twitter.com/euQVmYjKS2

        Further clarification suggests that the congressional investigator who's investigating FISA didn't know a fairly basic thing about how FISA works.pic.twitter.com/z16I1D08X9

        I'm sure that the breathlessness with which this report will be discussed on @seanhannity will more than make up for any factual inaccuracies.

        If it's from Sara Carter you can just assume it's wrong.
