      Mike Retweeted Evan McMullin

      The FISA application included lies from a hired gun on Clinton's payroll. If you don't immediately get, in your gut, what's wrong with that, there's no explaining it to you.https://twitter.com/Evan_McMullin/status/958752347592843265 …

      Mike added,

      Evan McMullinVerified account @Evan_McMullin
      The Memo reportedly alleges that the USG improperly obtained a warrant on Carter Page because its application included info from Chris Steele. Well, it would've also included other evidence reviewed by a judge & Page was already a suspected Russian agent, Steele a trusted source.

      Mike: I'm curious. Have you also complained that consultant reports are using in FISA apps targeting Muslims, which is suspected to happen a lot?

      Honestly, it's the first I've heard of it. I can't say I have any expertise in FISA issues or have ever read much about them before this issue came up.

      Oh. Perhaps you should ask people who do have expertise? I've been writing abt FISA since 2005, IDed problems that shut down upstream last year before FISC learned all about it, reported out new abusive 702 practice. And I'm fairly confident you're being made for a fool.

      Not only that, but Nunes et al AREN'T dealing with the real abuse that probably did affect Page (but which they just reauthorized).

      The moral of the story is....there’s a history of the FISA Court being abused, so accusations that it was abused during the campaign/election probably isn’t a stretch. Correct?

      You misstated what I said. I--a fierce civil liberties person--say the FISA Court is generally better than people make out (except for Rosemary Collyer).

          Curious: what do you mean there by "during the campaign/election"?

          During the primary and general elections. During the campaigning period. Also, the already unclassified court documents don’t exactly paint a great picture of what was happening.

          But who? Page wasn't part of the campaign anymore. So for his purposes, it WASN'T part of the campaign. Are you suggesting he was still doing Trump's work?

          I guess we’ll see. They had Manafort under surveillance since 2014, so it’s a bit strange that they didn’t start surveillance on the Trump campaign until right after he left.

          It’s also strange that the Clinton camp was working so closely with the Ukrainians. They were getting “information” about Manafort from them. I wonder how much information flows between our agencies and theirs? 🤔

          It’s ALSO strange that Grassley just asked for documents from the DNC/Clinton camp from March 2016 onwards. The same month the Podesta emails ended. Odd.

          Spring to September? I’m going to go out on a limb and guess “spring” was March 2016. What are the odds?!pic.twitter.com/sSCdU9BAEz
