Re comments on the previous thread. It seems obvious to me that the FISA promise when enacted has been broken countless times as what was said to be rare has become routine. Like the FBI 301 procedure--in time all the safeguards gets ignored.
I do not see him willfully and with full knowledge authorizing the extension of a FISA warrant directed at his new boss.
A commenter on one of Sundance's threads made a good point yesterday on why Rosenstein would reauthorize the FISA warrant on Carter Page.
Keep in mind three points which we assume are facts: 1) The Obama administration illegally acquired a FISA warrant on Page to spy on Trump and his campaign; 2) The Obama administration planted spies (Halper, maybe Papadopolous) inside the Trump campaign to spy on him and help create the Russian collusion false narrative and 3) By the time the Page FISA warrant was extended Trump already knew Obama had been spying on him.
The commenter at CTH made the point that if Page ever communicated with Halper, Papadopolous, or anyone else who was an informant working for Obama, then thanks to the 2 hop rule the FISA warrant on Page allowed the FBI to monitor everyone who Page communicated with. By renewing the FISA warrant on Page, Horowitz/Huber or whoever else is involved in the investigation have full access to everything the Obama conspirators communicated. In other words, the FISA warrant on Page wasn't extended to continue spying on Trump, instead it was extended to monitor everything the Obama conspirators were communicating amongst themselves.

Eighteen months in and some of us cannot even be sure the AG or the DAG are on the side of Justice, except when staring down the Wishing Well?
How downhearted the progs must be over this terrible shooting.
Not because some lunatic killed five people of course. But because he did so with a shotgun and because he wasn't a Storm Front-style collectivist they could falsely defame Trump and company with.
Sometimes even progs have to let a perfectly good crisis go to waste.
Didn't the FBI also have a forensic lab problem with either falsified or changed reports? I just don't see Wray (a career DC bureaucrat) as the hard-ass needed to reform and shape up the top Federal LE agency.
If they want to restore trust and faith in the FBI's mission, then they have to get rid of the 302 nonsense and instead mandate filmed and/or taped interviews.

Funny, I thought that was FBI’s job. Maybe they shoukd transfer there. (Or what’s left of the FBI after the corruption is driven out.)
Brett Kavanaugh would be a rational choice for another president. He’s been on the DC Circuit for fifteen years. Before that, he shepherded Bush’s judicial appointments through the Senate confirmation process, was cook and bottle washer for Independent Counsel Ken Starr, and before that was with Starr at conservative DC powerhouse law firm Kirkland & Ellis.
Kavanaugh graduated from Yale College and Yale Law. He interned with the Solicitor General, he clerked for two circuit courts before clerking for retiring Justice Kennedy. He is polished, relatively young and another conservative Catholic. He has been groomed for this slot for decades. He would be hard for the Dems to oppose, harder for any Republicans to oppose, and could be confirmed within weeks.
That makes him too easy and conventional a pick for Trump. He will be drawn to a conservative firebrand a decade or more younger than the 53 year-old Kavanaugh. Such a choice could delay confirmation past the November election, which would make it also a referendum on Trump’s Court pick. But Trump is nothing if not self-destructive. He always goes for broke, especially when spending someone else’s money.
Any witness can record an FBI interview of himself.
If the G-Spot Men refuse to allow it then no one should do an FBI interview.
Of course I'm not sure why anyone would under any circumstances; the upside is nil and the downside bottomless.
Please pass on how many editors overlook that the choice of words shapes the mental battle space.
CNN’s Brian Stelter, for instance, is regularly willing to claim that Trump “attacked” the press. Nonsense. Trump criticizes misrepresentation in the news while the Annapolis shooter physically attacked journalists.
The MSM too often fails to distinguish — more than that — they contrive to elide the two. Out of misplaced self interest, I might add.
Seems to me the people calling Trump self-destructive are not quite associated with reality.
He does take considerable risks but they seem pretty well calculated and he seems rather undestroyed by them.
When one considers his successes in the face of fanatical, histrionic opposition and the number of crybaby critics nursings wounds in his wake it seems particularly retarded.
There will be myriad theories and hypotheses about why Kennedy all but gave up on his project of centrism, civility, norm preservation, and institutional self-preservation this year. I’ve never heard him speak so eloquently as when he was defending those values and celebrating the extraordinary role American courts and judges have played to foster such values in democracies around the world. One senses in his cri de coeur in NIFLA, Tuesday’s abortion-speech case, that he is viscerally bothered by progressive states like California attempting to be “forward thinking” (read: authoritarian) when it comes to truth in advertising around reproductive options. One senses in his vision of uncivil discourse in the Masterpiece Cakeshop case a growing frustration with what he sees as impolite discussions about religious liberty issues he wanted us to discuss civilly. One senses in his concurrence in the travel ban case a sort of stutter-step apology to “an anxious world” that watches the norms and institutions of constitutional democracy crumble..
IIRC the FISA renewals are quarterly. Sessions/Rosenstein could have flipped the full surveillance onto all of the Obama conspirators several weeks before Rosenstein extended the warrant.
That would explain a lot of the hysteria we have seen from people like Brennan and Clapper over the past few months. At some point they probably had an epiphany that Sessions/Rosenstein used the Page FISA warrant to flip the surveillance back on to them. Now they had to worry how long have they been under surveillance, who all did they speak to and what all did they say. If they talked to anyone like Hillary, Lynch, Holder, even Obama then they all know that its likely Trump has turned the tables against them.

'horribly wrong' sells it short, lurkersusie. This was an election for the future of the Republic. Think about yesterday with Justice L. Lynch changing all those milestone decisions from 5-4 to 4-5. And it would have soon been 3-6. I'll never forget their monumental perfidy and I'll never forgive a single one of them.

Then watch as the WEEEEEEEEEPING FULL COMMIE PROTESTS AMERICAN GREATNESS.

Rosenstein appears to me over his career to be above all a survivor.
Seems unlikely to me he would then sign a FISA renewal with the intent of spying on Trump knowing Trump would know he did. It's not like Trump hadn't already made it known he knew FISA had been used to do so.

A lot of people would just take their medicine. Not egotistical WANNABEES.
Look at our troll. GROWN MAN. Zero ability to BE a MAN.
Kennedy has never been a moderate.
I suspect he is something of an inconsistent or sentimental libertarian.
He has been a stickler for the law and economic freedom and is sometimes one of the most vocal in those areas like the ACA decision.
Where he has been muddleheaded has been primarily in so called "morality" decisions where the law and freedom are suddenly trumped by maudlin sentiment and extra-legal ideas like "dignity".
TomR "Sessions/Rosenstein could have flipped the full surveillance onto all of the Obama conspirators several weeks before Rosenstein extended the warrant."
Democratic Republic.
Nice choice of words from a demented communist considering the states naming selves that, like the Congo and the old Warsaw pact.
Can't have that inconvenient constitution mucking up our people's democracy.
It is unethical for a judge to ignore the law.
It is even more unethical for him to substitue his "empathy" for constitutional law.
Kennedy could have been a dog walker or a nanny if he wanted to practice empathy instead of the law.
Lets pretend though that both you are I have it all completely wrong and that Eye Doctor et al have it right.
Not only did Trump exercise horribly bad judgment and appoint a Deep State Swamp creature like Rosenstein, after learning that Obama spied on him, he later learns Rosenstein backstabbed him and renewed the FISA warrant extension that allowed his own DOJ/FBI to continue spying on the sitting president.
How in the world would someone like Trump ever allow a backstabber like Rosenstein to stay on the job? The sheer stupidity on Trump's part allowing a traitor to his country like Rosenstein to remain Deputy AG boggles my mind.
Do you completely deny the possibility that Sessions/Rosenstein flipped the Carter FISA warrant back onto the Obama conspirators and started surveilling them?
Of course Trump isn't perfect. I just assume Trump is at least as smart and as informed as Eye Doctor and knows that Rosenstein is a traitorous backstabber trying to destroy him.
Beef Supreme is a character in the 2006 film Idiocracy, and the only character in the movie who qualifies as a villain. He is a famous demolition derby/executioner who uses monster trucks, flamethrowers, and grenade launchers to carry out public executions known as "rehabilitation" in 2505 America, which is overrun by idiots. When Joe (known by everyone else as "Not Sure") is sentenced to rehabilitation for ruining the economy, Beef Supreme drives a phallic-looking truck called the "Ass-Dozer", but it doesn't fit through the archway leading to the rehabilitation arena and is destroyed by crumbling cement. He emerges from the rubble with his flamethrower and grenade launcher and tries to blast Joe, but after seeing the successful results of Joe's economic suggestions, President Camacho pushes Beef Supreme aside and gives Joe a pardon..
Why would any Trump supporter threaten to kill Waters? She is doing a great job helping to increase Trump's approval ratings and the GOP's chances of winning the 2018 midterms.

Brett Kavanaugh would be a rational choice for another president. He’s been on the DC Circuit for fifteen years. Before that, he shepherded Bush’s judicial appointments through the Senate confirmation process, was cook and bottle washer for Independent Counsel Ken Starr, and before that was with Starr at conservative DC powerhouse law firm Kirkland & Ellis.

Rosenstein appears to me over his career to be above all a survivor.
Seems unlikely to me he would then sign a FISA renewal with the intent of spying on Trump knowing Trump would know he did. It's not like Trump hadn't already made it known he knew FISA had been used to do so.

Patterico is like a jilted lover, or a husband, whose wife dumped his ugly ass.
The only thing missing from POOOOTER boy, is putting the gun in his own mouth and pulling the trigger. Pooootie poo, picked the wrong side of the battle. He and his FAT FRIEND were going to the TOP OF POPS, THEY WERE GOING TO BE .....elite pundits!!! They were PUNDIT ROYALTY.
A lot of people would just take their medicine. Not egotistical WANNABEES.
Look at our troll. GROWN MAN. Zero ability to BE a MAN.

Kennedy has never been a moderate.
I suspect he is something of an inconsistent or sentimental libertarian.
He has been a stickler for the law and economic freedom and is sometimes one of the most vocal in those areas like the ACA decision.
Where he has been muddleheaded has been primarily in so called "morality" decisions where the law and freedom are suddenly trumped by maudlin sentiment and extra-legal ideas like "dignity".

TomR "Sessions/Rosenstein could have flipped the full surveillance onto all of the Obama conspirators several weeks before Rosenstein extended the warrant."
Coulda, woulda, shoulda.
Again, the undying faith in the word "If".

Democratic Republic.
Nice choice of words from a demented communist considering the states naming selves that, like the Congo and the old Warsaw pact.
Can't have that inconvenient constitution mucking up our people's democracy.

It is unethical for a judge to ignore the law.
It is even more unethical for him to substitue his "empathy" for constitutional law.
Kennedy could have been a dog walker or a nanny if he wanted to practice empathy instead of the law.

Ig @ 11:53.
Your logic is sound.
Lets pretend though that both you are I have it all completely wrong and that Eye Doctor et al have it right.
Not only did Trump exercise horribly bad judgment and appoint a Deep State Swamp creature like Rosenstein, after learning that Obama spied on him, he later learns Rosenstein backstabbed him and renewed the FISA warrant extension that allowed his own DOJ/FBI to continue spying on the sitting president.
How in the world would someone like Trump ever allow a backstabber like Rosenstein to stay on the job? The sheer stupidity on Trump's part allowing a traitor to his country like Rosenstein to remain Deputy AG boggles my mind.

Tom R, Trump went bankrupt a time or two as well. He's human, not perfect.

OL @12:02
Do you completely deny the possibility that Sessions/Rosenstein flipped the Carter FISA warrant back onto the Obama conspirators and started surveilling them?
Posted by: Tom R | June 29, 2018 at 12:13 PM
Iggy "It is unethical for a judge to ignore the law."
Worse than "unethical". It violated the Oath of Office he swore when he took the job with all of its perks and ego gratification.
We are a "nation of laws", not a "nation of my version of ethics, today".

Henry,
Of course Trump isn't perfect. I just assume Trump is at least as smart and as informed as Eye Doctor and knows that Rosenstein is a traitorous backstabber trying to destroy him.

Ann - Still playing catch-up, but SO glad to hear the great news re the docs and your health!
I was thinking of you Tuesday morning, and wondering how you've been. Was tempted to post a question to see if anyone knew how you were doing.
Funny how the JOM 'second-sense' works to keep us all connected.
It's so good to see you back . . . Don't be a stranger, k ?

Beef Supreme is a character in the 2006 film Idiocracy, and the only character in the movie who qualifies as a villain. He is a famous demolition derby/executioner who uses monster trucks, flamethrowers, and grenade launchers to carry out public executions known as "rehabilitation" in 2505 America, which is overrun by idiots. When Joe (known by everyone else as "Not Sure") is sentenced to rehabilitation for ruining the economy, Beef Supreme drives a phallic-looking truck called the "Ass-Dozer", but it doesn't fit through the archway leading to the rehabilitation arena and is destroyed by crumbling cement. He emerges from the rubble with his flamethrower and grenade launcher and tries to blast Joe, but after seeing the successful results of Joe's economic suggestions, President Camacho pushes Beef Supreme aside and gives Joe a pardon..

Why would any Trump supporter threaten to kill Waters? She is doing a great job helping to increase Trump's approval ratings and the GOP's chances of winning the 2018 midterms.

My feelings are hurt. Why didn't you use full caps for "dimwit"?
PS. How does it feel to always be on the same side as Eye Doctor? Personally that would embarrass the shit out of me.
