Obama’s Actions Related to the FISA Court Were Beyond Corrupt – They Were Criminal! Time for a Special Counsel to Bring the Obama Crooks to Justice!

Guest post by Joe Hoft

The Obama team’s actions with the FISA Court were not just corrupt – they were criminal!

The FISA Court was put in place in 1978 when Congress enacted the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA). The Court sits in Washington D.C., and is composed of eleven federal district court judges who are designated by the Chief Justice of the United States. Each judge serves for a maximum of seven years and their terms are staggered to ensure continuity on the Court. Judges typically sit for one week at a time, on a rotating basis.

As reported earlier by TGP, on April 26, 2017, an unsealed FISA Court Ruling unveiled a number of criminal activities that Barack Obama’s FBI and DOJ participated in during his time in office.  The FISA Court Ruling shows widespread abuse of the FISA mandate.

According to the report, Obama’s FBI and DOJ performed searches on Americans that were against their 4th Amendment rights.  This went on for years.  One paragraph in the report states that 85% of the Section 704 and 705(b) FISA searches made during this time were non-compliant with applicable laws and therefore criminal.

In addition, the report cites that at the same time that Obama’s DOJ and FBI were illegally searching Americans against their rights and unbeknownst to them, Obama’s FBI was providing this information to outside contractors who had no business or legal cause or claim to the information.

Yesterday the House Intelligence Committee released its FISA memo that described the corrupt actions taken by Obama’s FBI and DOJ to obtain warrants to spy on the Trump campaign. Obama’s DOJ and FBI used a document created from information by Hillary Clinton campaign and DNC funding to obtain multiple FISA Court warrants. The political anti-Trump sources of the information were not provided to the court when requesting the warrant and top DOJ and FBI officials were the ones partaking in these actions. As a result, Congressional leaders are calling for prosecution of FBI and DOJ officials involved in the criminal actions and FOX News’ Gregg Jarrett stated that the criminal acts by Obama’s scoundrels involved in the FISA crimes could qualify for sentences of up to 10 years in prison.

Devin Nunes, the Chair of the House Intelligence Committee, spoke yesterday on FOX about the Obama Administration’s criminal actions listed in the FISA memo –

The House Intelligence Committee also released a separate memo to address left wing politician and MSM attacks on the committee for releasing the memo.

Democrats and the media forget that it’s illegal to spy on Americans without a proper warrant from an entity like the FISA Court. Now more and more evidence is being uncovered that suggests the Obama Administration not only spied on citizen and Presidential candidate Donald Trump but did so before obtaining their bogus warrant through the FISA Court to do so. This may be why Obama’s team produced the bogus FISA applications to spy on President Trump. That or the Obama team was trying to cover up other more serious crimes that they partook in.

In addition, the entire FISA court in late 2016 was stacked with Obama appointees. The entire court in March of 2017 was Obama appointees. One of these appointees was also involved in General Flynn’s criminal case. We know this because he recused himself from the Flynn case. Obama FISA Court appointee and U.S. District Judge Rudolph Contreras recused himself from former National Security Advisor Michael Flynn’s criminal case in December. It’s yet unknown the reason for why Contreras recused himself.

It is high time that the Justice Department creates a special counsel to look into the corrupt and criminal Obama Administration. Drain the swamp!
