ICYMI: Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton made the following statement regarding the release of 412 pages of documents about FISA (Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act) warrants targeting Carter Page, who had been a Trump campaign adviser:
"These documents are heavily redacted but seem to confirm the FBI and DOJ misled the courts in withholding the material information that Hillary Clinton’s campaign and the DNC were behind the 'intelligence' used to persuade the courts to approve the FISA warrants that targeted the Trump team. Given this corruption, President Trump should intervene and declassify the heavily redacted material.
The warrants are controversial because the FISA Court was never told that the key information justifying the requests came from a “Dossier” that was created by Fusion GPS, a paid agent of the Clinton campaign and Democratic National Committee (DNC). The initial Carter Page warrant was granted just weeks before the 2016 election. This new FISA document release supports criticisms by Republicans on the House Intelligence Committee who released a memo that criticized the FISA targeting. The memo details how the “minimally corroborated” Clinton-DNC Dossier was an essential part of the FBI and DOJ’s applications for surveillance warrants to spy on Carter Page.
