The Deep State And The “Alarming” Memo On FISA Abuses
BY Herschel Smith
6 years, 10 months ago
A four-page memo circulating in Congress that reveals alleged United States government surveillance abuses is being described by lawmakers as “shocking,” “troubling” and “alarming,” with one congressman likening the details to KGB activity in Russia.
Speaking with Fox News, the lawmakers said they could not yet discuss the contents of the memo they reviewed on Thursday after it was released to members by the House Intelligence Committee. But they say the memo should be immediately made public.
“It is so alarming the American people have to see this,” Ohio Rep. Jim Jordan said.
“It’s troubling. It is shocking,” North Carolina Rep. Mark Meadows said. “Part of me wishes that I didn’t read it because I don’t want to believe that those kinds of things could be happening in this country that I call home and love so much.”
Florida Rep. Matt Gaetz said he believed people could lose their jobs after the memo is released.
“I believe the consequence of its release will be major changes in people currently working at the FBI and the Department of Justice,” he said, referencing DOJ officials Rod Rosenstein and Bruce Ohr.
“You think about, ‘is this happening in America or is this the KGB?’ That’s how alarming it is,” Pennsylvania Rep. Scott Perry said.
We don’t need to see a document of any sort to tell us that Comey, McCabe, Rosenstein, Mueller, the FISA judges, and many other judges like Theodore Chuang, are deep state apparatchiks. You’ve seen that on the pages of The Captain’s Journal for more than a year. You’ve seen it elsewhere for at least that long.
They all deserve to be hung by the neck until dead, but unleashing the Department of Justice on them is apparently not something Jeff Sessions is willing to do. Sessions is more concerned about people smoking pot. The Senate and Congress could shut down the deep state in a single day by shutting the government down and withdrawing all funding for these rogue agencies.
But what do we have instead?
On Thursday, the Senate voted 65-34 to reauthorize a FISA provision that allows U.S. spy agencies to conduct surveillance on foreign targets abroad for six years. The bill, which already has been passed by the House, now heads to the White House,where President Donald Trump has said he will sign it into law.
We get continuation of the very deep state scaffolding that gave us what they are now telling us is “shocking.” And yet everyone knows, because of Snowden, that the real purpose of all of this is to spy on Americans.
We get continuation of the deep state, while we invite immigrants into the country in order to supply the democrats with voters and the republicans with workers, these immigrants undermining the very security and national cohesion they claim they want.
This is all theater. It doesn’t matter if anyone is fired. The deep state will continue unabated.

I know there are words in the cited article; but, in my head it all translates to the nasal voice of a 1940’s-era female phone operator saying over and over again, “Paging Captain Renault” …”Paging Captain Renault!”
Ohio Rep. Jim Jordan; North Carolina Rep. Mark Meadows; Florida Rep. Matt Gaetz; Pennsylvania Rep. Scott Perry. Living embodiments of the Barnhardt Axiom. Morally and/or intellectually unqualified to hold the offices they so desperately sought and now hold in willful ignorance (stupidity?) of their roles in this tyranny.
As for everything in the post below “We don’t need to see a document of any sort to tell us…,” — Well stated and perfectly accurate.
What government do these clowns think they’ve been participating in?

Sessions is more concerned about protecting his real bosses – the pharmaceutical and liqueur industries.

Unleashing the Department Of Just Us on these traitors is not something Sessions is ABLE to do. When Obozo was infesting the White House his
puppetmaster Valerie Jarrett directed minions Eric Holder and Loretta Lynch to PURGE the department of any and all people who opposed their agenda and the PACKED that department with commie liberals. There is essentially NOBODY left in the Just Us Department who will do ANYTHING to ANYONE unless that target is a mere mundane citizen or someone who is politically opposed to the lefts agenda. That is why NOBODY currently
actively and openly opposing DHS and ICE such as Kali AG Becerra will EVER face charges under the federal system. Because while DHS, ICE etc. can arrest ONLY the Just Us Department can prosecute….and when it comes to dragging their leftist comrades into court…..that ISN’T GOING TO HAPPEN.
