pallidin Posted January 21, 2018 #77 Share Posted January 21, 2018 The Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act of 1978 ("FISA" Pub.L. 95–511, 92 Stat. 1783, 50 U.S.C. ch. 36) is a United States federal law which establishes procedures for the physical and electronic surveillance and collection of "foreign intelligence information" between "foreign powers" and "agents of foreign powers" suspected of espionage or terrorism.[1] The Act created the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court (FISC) to oversee requests for surveillance warrants by federal law enforcement and intelligence agencies. It has been repeatedly amended since the September 11 attacks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sara carter said the Intelligence committee will have a vote to release which the republicans will win on party lines and then it goes to the President to be declassified. Should be released by the end of the month at the latest 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lilly Posted January 21, 2018 #79 Share Posted January 21, 2018 Sounds like the end of the month could be interesting (to say the least). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They will stop at nothing to get their way. You see it with some posting here defending the indefensible to the bitter end and beyond, most of academia and the media are fellow travelers as well. If Hillary had won this would never have come to light and these criminals would have been richly rewarded. I think that they truly believed hey would get away with this and been promoted as the criminals climbed back into power. Trump's administration had better be as ruthless as the people they are up against and I don't think Sessions is up to the task, I'd get Cruz in there as Attorney General, the man is a brilliant jurist and one of teh most courageous politicians in Washington. Sessions cowers. Sessions is about as bad as Holder in his own ways. It indeed would be great if someone, like Cruz or Gowdy, replaced him. Like many RINOs there, Sessions is a bit of an impediment to needed actions. Trump should remove all such roadblocks in order to get to the bottom of all corrupt, suspect activities. We all know that academe and media are in collusion with the Democrats, so they are moot points. Trump understands this, so he should form a real alliance with all individuals who seek to root out all forms of criminality in an unbiased way. He's doing the impossible now. With that in mind, we may see a resolution within the coming weeks to months. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I doubt that they would lose conservative Christian voters because the other news channels are much worse than Fox News on its worst day. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is good to see that most people want to see it regardless of what side of the coin they are on. That's a good point. We don't need a new version of Al Capone's vault. You're right about the spinning and the twisting too. They should broadcast the memo's contents as soon as they're able to do so, with no filters whatsoever.

I agree, but I'm not a lawyer (not sure about the legal aspects of doing that kind of thing). This is all just so confusing and conflicting...I hope something happens soon to clarify what's going on. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Merc14 Posted January 22, 2018 #90 Share Posted January 22, 2018 (edited) Not sure if this has been reported here yet but apparently the FBI has "lost" MONTHS worth of text messages between Strzok and Page. The time period lost is at a critical juncture as well. When asked how much, on a scale of 1-10, does he trust the FBI at this point, the investigator quickly replied "Zero." Anyone still questioning why the FBI hasn't received the FISA memo? Maybe the Russians have the texts. http://www.washingtonexaminer.com/byron-york-congress-seeks-answers-after-fbi-claims-texts-missing-in-trump-russia-probe/article/2646644 Edited January 22, 2018 by Merc14 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for ruling the country, The US Constitution is the supreme law of the land, not any political party. And, as to ruining the country, there's plenty of blame to go around for this one and it's not all on the Conservative Christians by any means. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

simplybill Posted January 22, 2018 #93 Share Posted January 22, 2018 (edited) It has been 101 days since pornography publisher Larry Flynt took out a full-page ad in the Washington Post offering $10,000,000 to anyone who can provide incriminating evidence that leads to the impeachment of President Trump. Between the $10,000,000 offered by Mr. Flynt, and the $1,000,000 per month for the Mueller investigation, you would think someone, somewhere, would have come forward by now with something, anything, of substance. And I'll point out the irony: a businessman who made his fortune selling dirty pictures of naked women is looking for 'dirt' on Donald Trump. https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/the-fix/wp/2017/10/14/have-dirt-that-could-impeach-trump-larry-flynt-will-pay-you-10-million/?utm_term=.13c3a6e1d0ca Edited January 22, 2018 by simplybill Added link 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is flawed thinking. Investigations take TIME. They don't always rush out to tell people when a new break and or lead in a case is found. I fully expect nothing of consequence to be found in regards to the election from this investigation, but claiming that since they've not whipped out their smoking gun already that one doesn't exist is just not staying in touch with the reality of police work. Also, they were of nude women who consented and were compensated for their pictures being taken. You can't hold that against the man just because you have some moral objection to it because in and of itself...it is NOT immoral. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I, personally, am not involved in any organized religion and often do feel that the organized variety of religious beliefs causes more harm than good. As to my realization that the Founding Fathers desired to keep religion out of government, of course. But, the same Founding Fathers wanted a country based on freedom of religion for individuals as well. Oh, and as for the moral foundation the country was built on, that was indeed basic Judeo-Christian/Masonic in origin. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
