Seriously, as the kerfuffle over our FISA process mushrooms, it behooves everyone to remember that the problem was deep-state partisan liars…and judges accepting lies.
Think…
…liars will lie; the only firewall is a proper judiciary that demands essential proof that probable cause exists…even stricter proof where political campaigns are involved.
- Why didn’t FISC judges ask essential questions regarding the Steele dirt-dossier?
- Who were sources; why was second- and third-hand rumor being relied on?
- Why was an opposition research document the basis of surveil applications?
- Specifically, which political opponents funded the opposition research?
Essential questions of such a basic judiciary nature would’ve managed to stop this sad HOAX in its tracks…it’s not rocket science; an objective judiciary would have sufficed.
Everyone knows a regular court would never accept such hearsay as probable cause…
…let alone a FISA court in place to stop exactly this kind of abuse.
FISA doesn’t need reform…the judges who abused the system need to be removed…
…and stripped of their qualifications to ever serve in a legal/judicial capacity.
Liars will lie; abusers will abuse…
…and when the public trust is involved, such acts by public officials are especially egregious. In the FISA process, abusing a citizen’s rights demands a strong response.
The only recourse is swift and harsh PROSECUTION of the liars and abusers.
