It’s Time To Get Rid Of The Fisa Court, It Has Outlived It’s Usefulness By Becoming Weaponized

Once the United States Foreign Intelligence Surveillance known as the FISA court started spying on Americans rather than potential enemies of America it has outlived it’s usefulness. It was established in 1978 mainly to be used in the cold war with the then Soviet Union now Russia against any of their agents that might have penetrated in the United States but later used to track down any terrorists or their groups that had penetrated in the United States but it was not started to be used on American citizens such as then candidate Trump’s Presidential campaign. It other words the FISA court was weaponized against an American citizen and his staff and if that is the case there are only two options either get rid of the FISA court or pass some kind of a law that it shall never be used against American citizens without some stiff penalties being applied.

The following was posted amd published by Gregg Jarrett: “It’s time to put “foreign” back into the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act. The Russia Hoax exposed FISA to the world; all the lies and deceptions that were sold to the FISA court to spy on Trump campaign associate, Carter Page, is proof. As a result, Americans have lost trust in the FISA court…because they have lost faith in the FBI & DOJ to present evidence honestly in surveillance warrant applications.”

“There are only two real solutions. 1) Abolish FISA or, 2) Enact Senator Rand Paul’s proposal that it can no longer be used against Americans. Republicans are reluctant to renew FISA because of the chronic and pervasive abuse. Democrats, who supposedly care more than anyone about civil liberties, should also be against it.”

“For too long, FISA has been manipulated to violate people’s Fourth Amendment rights. So far, the only reforms offered by the Justice Department, the Court itself, and the specially-appointed independent monitor are nothing but pretend reforms. They are nothing more than a checklist to ensure that government officials are doing what they’re already supposed to do under the law.”

We must keep in mind that the FISA court is still under investigation that how is it that former FBI Director James Comey and the last one was former Deputy Rod Rosenstein were allowed by the court to accept a phony dossier to spy on a Trump campaign associate Carter Page which also means there might have been times in itself when Trump was spied on considering Page must have had conversations with Trump while the spying was occurring and this dossier was used a total of four times.

I understand that in this day and age spying must be done against harmful foreign agents that have settled in the United States by their perspective governments to spy on whatever mission that was bestowed on them. Without some kind of surveillance program against these enemies of America we are sitting naked with no protection via spying that is a necessity to counter this infiltration but it cannot be done with the spying from some political group in America where they can just go to the FISA court and the court just rubber stamps the request on four different occasions whereas if the truth was applied to these request the court would have seen that it was Hillary Clinton and the Democrat Party that had paid for the phony dossier. Unless this is corrected it will be necessary to get rid of the FISA court and start over again. The judges on that court have brought this situation upon themselves by having a closed eye to the obvious well I feel this has to be changed and changed fast because we never know who they will spy on next, why they might even be spying on me and that would really make my day!

We Were Right All Along! FISA Court Has Concluded That The Carter Page Warrants Were Not Valid

It’s about time my patriots, we have been exposing this like it seems like forever that the FISA court was working off a phony dossier that had been presented to the FISA court on four different occasions on Carter Page. How many different times had we stressed why is the FISA court keeping silent on this but for a few wimpers here and there, well they are silent no longer and the court has finally said what we have been saying all along that the warrants to spy on Carter Page were not valid.

The following was posted by the WND Staff, published by WND: “”The nation’s top spy court ruled two of the four authorizations for the Obama administration to surveil onetime Trump campaign adviser Carter Page were “not valid.”

“The Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court determined in a secret ruling released Thursday that there was no sufficient basis to “establish probable cause to believe that Page was acting as an agent of a foreign power.”

“The warrants were based largely on the infamous “Steele dossier” of unsubstantiated Russian propaganda funded by Hillary Clinton’s campaign and the Democratic National Committee.”

“The FBI’s FISA applications cited information from the Steele dossier to assert that there was probable cause to believe Page was working on behalf of Russia.”

“But Inspector General Michael Horowitz found that FBI agents concealed from the court evidence showing Page was not “conspiring” with Russia.”

“The FBI failed to disclose Page had been an “operational contact” for the FBI and that a “source” for Steele’s dossier disputed its claims.”

All I can say is WOW! This is a bombshell and there will be more. we must not forget the players in presenting these warrants to the FISA court and the key ones who will have a lot to answer is former FBI Director James Comey and former Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein.

If you recall in past writings of mine I had stressed the fact that the rug is only so big for lies to be thrown under the rug and this phoney dossier FISA court crap is a prime example. All the dirt under the rug has to come out eventually if its not cleaned up and yes there is more to come. We must remember that U.S. Attorney John Durham is still investigating all this and he is not investigating just for the fun of it, believe me!

In An Extraordinary Move The FISA Court Finally Speaks Out Against The FBI

One may wonder why after three years of We The People asking what is it with the FISA court, why aren’t they showing their side of the story by accepting four phony dossiers, three by former FBI Director James Comey who just on Sunday admitted he made mistakes and apologized and one by former Assistant Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein as to why has the FISA court remained quiet. For one thing the FISA court looks like a court that just rubber stamps everything considering they pass 99 percent of all cases that are sent to them. In the case of the phony dossiers they dont want to become the fall guys considering there is full attention on them over this phony document at present.

The following was posted by Andrew O’Reilly, Bill Mears, published by Fox News: “In a rare public order Tuesday, the chief judge of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court [FISC] strongly criticized the FBI over its surveillance-application process, giving the bureau until Jan. 10 to come up with solutions, in the wake of findings from Justice Department Inspector General Michael E. Horowitz.”

“The order, from the court’s presiding judge Rosemary M. Collyer, came just a week after the release of Horowitz’s withering report about the wiretapping of Carter Page, a former campaign adviser to President Trump.”

“The FBI’s handling of the Carter Page applications, as portrayed in the [Office of Inspector General] report, was antithetical to the heightened duty of candor described above,” Collyer wrote in her four-page order. “The frequency with which representations made by FBI personnel turned out to be unsupported or contradicted by information in their possession, and with which they withheld information detrimental to their case, calls into question whether information contained in other FBI applications is reliable.”

How long have we been talking about a phony dossier making it through the FISA court? I feel like I have been writing about it forever and now because it was shown as negligent on the Horowitz report the court is finally showing concern. I will tell you another reason the FISA court is so concerned now is that the same way the Congress created the FISA court they can dismantle it. So my patriots what I say is let them sweat it out!

Former FBI Director James Comey Apologizes: What He Is Actually Saying Is I’ve Been Lying All This Time And I Got Caught!

For three years this creep former Attorney General James Comey has been lying to whoever would listen, the socialist Democratic Party, the mainstream media because I dont know if they believed him or they were just hoping he was telling the truth to get at President Trump but this guy by the name of John Pappas from Passaic New Jersey which is me of course would have nothing of it, I have been saying for three years that the choir boy Comey was lying through his teeth because nothing ever added up with this creep. First of all if he knew someone was spying in the Trump Presidential campaign camp he should have warned then candidate Trump about it but what in fact what was happening Trump was being spied on. Comey himself signed off on three of the four phony dossiers paid for by Hillary and her corrupt Democratic Party to the FISA court and the fourth dossier was signed off by former Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein and he is not off the hook because that story is yet to be told.

The following was posted by Jason Devaney, published by Fox News: “Former Rep. Trey Gowdy said Sunday that former FBI director James Comey’s apology as it relates to the Russia investigation was “too damn late.”

“Gowdy was on Fox News’ “Sunday Morning Futures” and told host Maria Bartiromo that congressional investigators, a group that included the South Carolina Republican until he left Congress in January, could have used Comey’s help as they probed what exactly happened in 2016 within the FBI while it was surveilling people close to then-candidate Donald Trump.”

“I think this morning Comey admitted he was wrong. Sometimes, Maria, it’s better late than never, and sometimes it’s just too damn late,” said Gowdy, referencing Comey’s apology earlier Sunday.”

“In this case, Comey is about two years too late. We could have used his objectivity, we could have used him as the head of the FBI helping Republicans figure out what was happening with FISA instead of thwarting us and obstructing us.”

“Gowdy, however, said he’s not buying Comey’s admission.”

Comey is one sick puppy, he is just beside himself. When he was on Fox News Sunday anchored by Chris Wallace Comey was asked if he was still FBI Director when all this was exposed would he resign? The moron said as such: ” No, I don’t think so,” Comey said. “There were mistakes I consider more consequential than this during my tenure and the important thing is to be transparent about it and then look to fix it and explain to the American people how you fixed it.”

Transparent about it my ass! This clown never even suggested what was going on Mr. transparent that he claims to be. It’s a good thing President Trump fired the bum. This guy better go out in the woods as he loves to do so much and stop his victory dance as we all can see he has already done and pray as to what his final fate will be because when Attorney General William Barr and federal prosecutor John Durham are finished with their investigations he will be indicted with many of his disgusting deep state friends. Just mark my words!

My Big Takeaway From IG Horowitz During The Recent Committee Hearing: “I Think The Activities Found Here Don’t Vindicate Anybody Who Touched This FISA”

My patriots when Senate Judiciary Chairman Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) sked Inspector General Michael Horowitz if former FBI Director James Comey should be vindicated from his IG report because after all Comey was dancing the victory lap by telling anyone he could reach that he was vindicated by the IG report Horowitch answered as such: “I think the activities found here don’t vindicate anybody who touched this FISA”. WOW! My patriot’s you must realize how powerful that statement is, it means anybody in one way or another who was involved with the FISA fiasco should not feel vindicated. That means anybody who was involved with the FISA court, it doesn’t mean some it means anybody, yes I said it again which also means the whole Marxist Obama DOJ. So all the naysayers out there who I have been telling not to give up hope it is coming closer to the rightful conclusion with the wrap-up being performed by Attorney General Barr and federal prosecutor John Durham.

I am sure that statement has chopped off the wings off of James Comey who has disgraced the rank and file, the good people of the FBI because the FBI as a whole definitely dont need the type of publicity that Comey has brought on upon it. He knows exactly what he did so going around prematurely stressing of the fact that he was vindicated shows you the panic he must be feeling. It will not be long before he will be considered history.

They are really coming out of the woodwork now such as former Attorney General Eric Holder who is badmouthing the present Attorney General William Barr by saying that “William Barr is unfit to serve as the countries top law enforcement officer.” Can you imagine that, this being said by another Marxist friend of Marxist Obama who had been held in contempt of Congress because he would not answer subpoenas in regard to Fast and Furious the sending of guns to Mexico that had one of our border patrol agents killed. This scum has some nerve!

All these treasonous clowns are now sweating it out, dont let the msm fool you who wont even report this news or the clowns giving it a bravado face. They are petrified because of the statement Horowitz made and the fact they know that Barr and Durham do not mess around. My patriots they will not be sleeping well these nights but they will be sleeping worst in prison and thats when We The People will be vindicated.

Comey Is Doing A Victory Dance After Not Being Indicted But The Fool Doesn’t Realize Lady Justice Is Still Waiting For Him With Open Arms

Former FBI Director James Comey once again is making a fool out of himself doing a victory dance after not being indicted after a very damaging report on him as FBI Director from the release of the Inspector Generals report going so far as to ask for an apology. Give me a break! He should apologize to the American people for putting them through the biggest scandal the United States has ever seen and that is to take down the President of the United States Donald Trump. This report is just the tip of the iceberg as many Republicans in Congress are saying and it is the least of the reports that are coming out that there was any chance of indicting the 6’8″ moron.

“The following was posted by Charles Creitz, published by Fox News: “The reputation of former FBI Director James Comey took a hit Thursday with the release of a scathing inspector general’s report on his handling of memos about contacts with President Trump, according to Rep. Mark Meadows, R-N.C.”

“However, Comey should be wary of what Connecticut federal prosecutor John Durham may find in his probe into the origins of the Russia investigation, Meadows said Thursday on “Hannity.”

“Obviously, today was a bad day for James Comey,” Meadows, chairman of the influential House Freedom Caucus, told host Sean Hannity. He added it was unbelievable that Comey was nonetheless going on Twitter, seeking apologies from his detractors.”

If Comey really thinks that people need to give him an apology the moron is beyond reality because he knows exactly what he was doing and that was to take down a President and he signed off on a phony dossier three out of the four times and presented it to the FISA court; Comey never advised the court that Hillary Clinton and the Democratic Party paid for the phony dossier; Comey lied to President Trump that he was not under investigation when in fact he was and that’s why Comey never went public with it as Trump asked him to because Comey was lying. These are just a few misdeeds by Comey as the list is so very long and this is why I feel the best is being saved for last, just like a good dessert.

The Pieces Are Now Falling Into Place: What We The People Have Known All Along About The Deep State Is Starting To Be Verified Via Investigations

Judicial Watch once again has come through for We The people, in other words the true patriotic Americans. Judicial Watch finally received documents that had been kept away and those are the ones that were needed to prove that even though the FBI knew the dossier that was provided by Christopher Steele was on shaky grounds of reliability because of the fact Steele had let his hatred of Trump be known throughout the Intelligence Community former FBI Director James Comey still allowed that phony dossier to proceed to the FISA court on four different occasions.

The following was posted by Gregg Re, Catherine Herridge, published by Fox News: “The FBI formally documented the apparent anti-Trump bias of British ex-spy Christopher Steele shortly after the November 2016 presidential election — yet despite the red flags, continued to use his unverified dossier in multiple Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) court warrant application renewals, records obtained by Fox News show.”

“The partially redacted documents, first obtained by Judicial Watch, also revealed that top Justice Department official Bruce Ohr maintained contact with Steele for at least six months after Steele was fired by the FBI for unauthorized media contacts in November 2016. The records further confirmed that Ohr knew of Steele’s anti-Trump bias before the 2016 election.”

“This is just the tip of the iceberg,” Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., told Fox News’ “Hannity” Thursday evening. “I know personally there’s a lot more out there.”

There are so many corrupt players in just the dossier and FISA court fiasco alone. We know who most of the players are and we also know it starts from Obama on down which I have written so many times. We must stay on top of all this because if there is one thing that the deep state is counting on is for most of us to lose interest on anything that takes long to investigate and that is exactly what starts happening. I have noticed of late that when I write about one of these investigations I don’t get the number of readers I use to, or its either that or Face Book is screwing around which they have done from time to time with every so often one of my readers would advise me that I am no longer easy to find any longer. Please remember that if FB is playing one of their little games I have my own website over at http://www.johnapappas.com. Please write it down.

Investigating the investigators is going full blast now and we all must take heart that Lady Justice will finally have her day and don’t even think for a moment that Marxist Obama, Hillary Clinton and the rest of Obama’s DOJ cannot be indicted and naturally this includes Obama’s Intelligence Agencies. You and me know that these traitors have broken the law and you know what? They know it too! They will not escape prosecution!

The FBI Can No Longer Deny The Fact That They Allowed Ex-British Spy Christopher Steel’s Phony Dossier To Control The Narrative Of Taking Down President Trump

I understand that there are probably a few patriots out there that are tired of hearing about the fake dossier made up by ex- British spy Christopher Steele but we must remember this dossier has been the key document to take down the President of the United States and it was written to do so, what with all the hate that Steele has had for Trump and he had made it be known that he would do everything he could to make sure Trump would never win the presidency and he also conveyed his wishes to various people in the FBI and DOJ but you see the pieces are starting to fit now and the people who we always thought would be implicated with the dossier going to the FISA court such as dirty cop former FBI Director James Comey are now knee deep in crap.

The following was posted and published by Sara A. Carter: “This week, we learned that FBI informant and former British Spy Christopher Steele planned to release his unverified dossier on Trump before Election Day.”

“The dossier served as the backbone of the Trump ousting operation and was the bulk of evidence for the FBI to gain a FISA on short-lived Trump campaign volunteer Carter Page.”

“According to a memo obtained by Citizens United, Steele confessed in a meeting with Deputy Assistant Secretary of State Kathleen Kavalec that his dossier was in fact political and he was planning on releasing before the November presidential elections. The meeting with Kavalec took place on Oct. 11, 2016 and it was during that meeting that Steele revealed his intentions. She documented the meeting and the discussion in her notes.”

The following was posted by John Solomon of The Hill News: “It is important to note that the FBI swore on Oct. 21, 2016, to the FISA judges that Steele’s “reporting has been corroborated and used in criminal proceedings” and the FBI has determined him to be “reliable” and was “unaware of any derogatory information pertaining” to their informant, who simultaneously worked for Fusion GPS, the firm paid by the Democratic National Committee (DNC) and the Clinton campaign to find Russian dirt on Trump.”

“That’s a pretty remarkable declaration in Footnote 5 on Page 15 of the FISA application, since Kavalec apparently needed just a single encounter with Steele at State to find one of his key claims about Trump Russia collusion was false.”

This is why we are seeing former FBI Director James Comey hitting the liberal socialist news networks again because now he is starting to sweat it out for real and allowing those commentators to ask him softball questions and trying to get off the real topic as to how this fake dossier started instead still going after Trump as to how he could be prosecuted when he leaves the presidency when in fact his real main concern is how to keep himself and the rest of the deep state from being prosecuted from Marxist Obama on down which naturally includes Hillary Clinton. Yes, Comey is in the sweat box and he is running out of towels.

Christopher Steele Author Of The Fake Dossier Testified And Admitted That An Old CNN Website Was His Source For The Dossier: Just Amazing!

One good thing that we patriots are finding out very fast these days is that these clowns that have been trying to take President Trump down are being investigated. Now we must remember that this former British spy made it be known throughout various sources in the Marxist Obama DOJ that he hated Trump and he must be taken down and it looks like Steele attempted to do exactly that but there was one problem, he never had any material from Russia as he had made it out to believe. The whole emphasis was this dossier that was presented to the FISA court on different occasions and this clown has admitted in testimony that he had never verified if its contents were true and as we know that has happened to be everybody’s story about the dossier because of course it wasn’t true so they were all lying for even presenting it to the FISA court. I will tell you one thing if these are the kind of spy’s Britain puts out in the field such as Steele they are in big trouble.

The following was posted by Lukas Mikelionis, published by Fox News: “Former British spy Christopher Steele confessed that he used an unverified report submitted to a CNN website, where “random individuals” can post information, for his salacious anti-Trump dossier.”

“Steele made the awkward revelation during a deposition last year in a case involving Russian entrepreneur Aleksej Gubarev, who claims his companies Webzilla and XBT Holdings were defamed by Steele after the dossier was published by BuzzFeed.”

“When asked whether the former British spy understood how the website actually worked, he confessed that “I do not have any particular knowledge of that” and noted he didn’t understand at the time that the site has “no connection to any CNN reporters.”

“Do you understand that CNN iReports are or were nothing more than any random individuals’ assertions on the Internet?” an examiner asked Steele.”

“He replied: “No, I obviously presume that if it is on a CNN site that it may has [sic] some kind of CNN status. Albeit that it may be an independent person posting on the site.”

This my patriots is the document that the DNC and Hillary Clinton’s paid good money for thinking it was information passed over from Russia, such morons! They were so bent out of shape of trying to take down Trump that they did not do any investigating to verify who was the source feeding Steele and it was an old CNN website.

This alone can take down a lot of heads because of the fact Steele is singing and naturally the choir will be getting bigger in those back rooms of interrogation by the day. Steele communicated with people in our Dept. of Justice and FBI with constant communication until he was finally fired from the FBI but he still communicated in the back channels of the DOJ. Bruce Ohr of the DOJ as we now know became the go-between for fired Christopher Steele. This is all such a mess, why? To take down President Trump. Well one thing is for sure, Trump will move on and the story still is and will be what will happen to these low-life’s!

Bruce Ohr Warned The FBI And DOJ That The Dossier Might Be Bias And Connected To Clinton But It Was Still Presented To The FISA Court

Everytime you turn around another piece of the puzzle presents itself that there was such a desperation to establish the downfall of then candidate Donald Trump and later as President that the deep state was taking shortcuts to demolish Trump. The best example was the phony dossier authored by Christopher Steele that was sent to the FISA Court on four different occasions when in fact then associate deputy attorney general Bruce Ohr warned of the fact that Steele’s dossier was connected to Hillary Clinton’s campaign and might in fact be biased. So instead of the FBI taking precaution they sent it up to the FISA Court without stating the fact that the Clinton campaign paid to have this phony dossier produced by Christopher Steele.

The following was posted by John Solomon, published by The Hill: “Yet in testimony last summer to congressional investigators, Ohr revealed the FBI and Justice lawyers had no need to speculate: He explicitly warned them in a series of contacts, beginning July 31, 2016, that Steele expressed biased against Trump and was working on a project connected to the Clinton campaign.”

“Ohr had firsthand knowledge about the motive and the client: He had just met with Steele on July 30, 2016, and Ohr’s wife, Nellie, worked for Fusion GPS, the same firm employing Steele.”

“I certainly told the FBI that Fusion GPS was working with, doing opposition research on Donald Trump,” Ohr told congressional investigators, adding that he warned the FBI that Steele expressed bias during their conversations.”

“I provided information to the FBI when I thought Christopher Steele was, as I said, desperate that Trump not be elected,” he added. “So, yes, of course I provided that to the FBI.”

“The memo from Rep. Adam Schiff’s (D-Calif.) team claimed that Ohr’s contacts with the FBI only began “weeks after the election and more than a month after the Court approved the initial FISA application.”

“But Ohr’s testimony now debunks that claim, making clear he started talking to FBI and DOJ officials well before the FISA warrant or election had occurred.”

This information that Ohr provided to Congressional investigators is so very damaging to the deep state. It is becoming more obvious that there was always a motive to take down our President. They were so desperate they lied to the FISA Court by leaving out things that were known about the dossier which means the FISA Court was giving the okay to spy on certain of Trump’s campaign people under false pretenses.
