Abundant tweets about civil liberties & national security. "Has a longer memory than an elephant & keeps more records than Jim Comey.” Legendary potty mouth.

    This thread is the proper response to pretty much every Trump complaint abt Mueller inquiry. Prosecutorial power and FISA DO have problems. But they're systematic and should be fixed systematically.https://twitter.com/Popehat/status/1032632328130945024 …

    If, like the President of the United States, you think "flipping" is bad because it's a breach of loyalty, I can't help you. But if you think it's bad because it encourages false testimony and relies on structural defects in the system, well, there are some things you could do./1

        What issues do you have with FISA Title I orders targetting US persons?

        As w/Page, they often rely on contractors or other informants. There have been real questions in CT cases for years abt the conflicts and competence of those contractors--basically the complaint abt Steele, but w/people w/o his record of credibility.

        In addition, there's very good reason to worry about their claims about Chinese-Americans engaged in acceptable academic or business discussions with Chinese citizens.

        Finally, there are real concerns about how the government uses 702 to get Title I orders.

        It's a great thread, but this is also a country that elected a racist Reddit troll, so to expect them to thoughtfully tackle criminal justice reform is sort of laughable. Basic facts are bastardized everyday by ~35% of the country.

        Like if all of Popehat's suggestions were somehow magically properly implemented, and the country was still otherwise ideologically the same as it is now, Manafort walks easily.
