#1 But thanks to recent testimony from a former FBI lawyer, we now have a rare window into documented abuses of Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) warrants and how the courts handled the matter.

Which appears to illustrate that:

a. The FBI was adept at warrant abuses of the system and had been called out on it previously.

b. The FISA court knew the FBI abused the system and evidently did little or possibly nothing about it.

c. Warrant abuses and cheating appear to have become institutionalized.

d. The fellow that was called to answer for the cheating 16 years ago (Former FBI Director Robert Mueller), is now head of an investigation examining evidence obtained by FISA warrant abuses and cheating.

e. The documented FISA abuses essentially represent unlawful surveillance activities based on deception and the omission of facts.

f. 'Omission of facts' point to Mens rea (Law Latin for "guilty mind") the mental element of a person's intention to commit a crime; or knowledge that one's action or lack of action would cause a crime to be committed. In this case, illegal surveillance or surveillance for the purpose of 'inadvertent collection' of other US Persons. ('Inadvertent collection' was a term used by former DNI James Clapper in congressional testimony).

As stated here previously, it is my belief that Carter Page was little more than a decoy. He was the subject of FBI surveillance for the sole purpose of 'inadvertent collection' (or legal process circumvention) of the Trump campaign. The goal being criminal discovery and entrapment of campaign members or Donald Trump himself.

Former FBI Director and FISA expert Mueller is the designated clean-up hitter, collecting unrelated scalps and guiding everyone around the bases for the score and win. Who could possibly know more about the FISA process and avoiding the pitfalls of associated criminality than Bob Mueller? I would have picked him as well !

The FISA process, with a 95% approval rate. The 5 inch putt, what could possibly go wrong ?

Yeah, I'll get right on it.

#4 All my current passwords are some variation of “death to Robert Mueller.” I look forward to the day I can change them.
