Throughout this process, members of the @libertycaucus and @freedomcaucus have called for the public release of evidence supporting the memo's allegations. We also have called for the release of the Democratic memo (which I have read).

Given the current rhetoric from
@SpeakerRyan and others, it represents a breach of the public trust that, just a few weeks ago, he and many of the memo's biggest pushers were demanding the reauthorization of#FISA702, opposed by a bipartisan coalition of liberty defenders.Show this thread -
Unlike
#FISA702, which authorizes systematic violations of the#4thAmendment, the section of FISA discussed in the memo requires probable cause and a warrant.Show this thread -
The central allegation is that a warrant was obtained fraudulently or without sufficient cause. If true, it shows the dangers of the secret Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court, something
@libertycaucus and@freedomcaucus members have been saying for a long time.Show this thread -
But
#FISA702 is far more dangerous. It permits the FBI and other agencies to conduct unconstitutional, warrantless searches on millions of innocent Americans (whose communications were incidentally collected while targeting foreigners overseas).Show this thread -
If the speaker and others believe abuses are occurring in the execution of one section of FISA, then why would they insist on reauthorizing another section of FISA (702) that has far greater potential for abuse?

Congress now has an obligation to re-examine
#FISA702 and pass reform legislation like the#USARIGHTSAct to protect the rights of the people we represent.Show this thread

I learned that the FBI is run by republicans who went to a judge, and asked for a warrant, and they got it. That's the law. It's good to learn new things.
-
You mean they LIED to a judge.
-
They didn't lie to the judge nunes omitted other evidence that's shown in the minority memo... Carter Page had already been under surveillance since 2013 then made multiple trips to Russia while working with the Trump campaign... Might want to do some research Dave.
-
Try becoming a police officer or prosecutor. Then try leaving known, exculpatory information out of a warrant application and present it to a judge to sign. Later, tell the judge that's what you did. See if he considers that a lie.
-
Try being a politician with a political bias in charge of investigating the people investigating your party and you. Now do you think your memo isn't going to leave out some details... Time will tell ... all we need is a judge to say if the Steele dossier was the only evidence.
-
Nunes could have left a million things out. It won't change the fact that they lied to a judge to get a warrant...which is the only thing I stated (correctly) in the 1st tweet.
-
Wheres your proof they lied to a judge?
-
Proof? You are kidding, right? The FBI did not tell the judge: 1) Steele had declared bias against Trump 2) Dossier was PAID for BY HILLARY'S CAMPAIGN and 3) The wife of one of the FBI agents was getting bought and paid for "oppo research" from his Fusion GPS wife.
