NewsLink: How Judicial Watch Uncovered FBI FISA Abuse

Exposing the egregious misconduct behind the FBI’s FISA Warrant Application, the IG Report prompted FISA Court Judge Rosemary Collyer to openly rebuke the FBI’s practices in the FISA Warrant process. Judicial Watch uncovered the FBI’s FISA abuse as early as July of 2018, when it discovered that the warrant application process to spy on Page and other Trump campaign associates had been based on the false allegations of the Steele dossier, whose unreliability the FBI was well aware of. Read below to find out more about Judicial Watch’s indispensable role in uncovering the FBI’s FISA abuse.

That day passed, but late the next day, late on Saturday, Justice released a heavily redacted 412-page document.

3. The FBI and DOJ Massively Volated the Law (12/9/2019)

Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton: “Today’s IG report on the Russiagate FISA abuse provides abundant evidence that the FBI and DOJ massively violated the law in order to obtain the Carter Page spy warrants targeting President Trump. As IG reports are both exposés and cover-ups at the same time, it is no surprise that the IG punted on implicating senior officials directly in the spy scandal.”
