President shared a meme recently that poked fun at former president Obama amid FISA abuse developments. The courts finally got the DOJ to admit that they illegally spied on the Trump campaign and that the warrants used against Trump campaign advisor Carter Page were illegitimate and filled with lies.
The image posted by Trump depicts Obama holding a pair of binoculars outside the Trump Towers windows, spying on Trump.
Though it may date back to early 2017, the intention was definitely to tie it to the latest developments in flawed Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) applications used to take down the Trump campaign.
Obama’s FBI knowingly omitted vital information to obtain warrants from the FISA court – including the obvious lies contained in the Steele dossier and its funding by The Democratic National Committee and Hillary Clinton’s campaign.
Former chair of the Judiciary Committee said of investigations into the FISA abuses, “It’s about time. It’s about time federal authorities entrusted with our most powerful and intrusive surveillance tools begin to own up to their failures and abuses and take steps to restore public confidence. … Time will tell if the department will continue working to fix its errors and restore trust that it won’t disregard Americans’ civil liberties. Its admission and cooperation with the FISC is a step in the right direction.”
Carter Page, whose career was ruined by the FISA abuses, said, “I hope that this … marks continued progress towards restoring justice and remedying these reputationally ruinous injuries.”
