FISA abuse: "Don’t expect justice, it is not coming. Oh yeah, and half the population is okay with that."

Sundance at The Conservative Treehouse revisits some of the things he has written over the last year regarding the FISA process and the illegal activities of our intelligence communities. The scandal that makes Watergate looks like child's play.

Here are some comments from his readers.

Simply put, the Obama administration was spying on its political adversaries for years, and when Admiral Rogers discovered–and stopped–it, they had to find another way to continue it. It’s not a coincidence all outside government access to the FBI/NSA database and raw FISA information was halted in April, 2016, and that same month Perkins Coie hired Fusion GPS, Christopher Steele started his work, and Joseph Mifsud met with George Papadopoulos to tell him Russians have information on Hillary Clinton. The dirty players were racing to get a Title-1 Surveillance Warrant granted before Rogers presented his findings to the FISA court. They beat him by three days.

Most of us “get the picture.” The important question is why nothing is seemingly being done about all this blatant abuse of power AND the subsequent cover-up.

One obvious answer to that question could be mass insubordination and sabotage. Hillary Clinton called it Resistance in her speech on November 9, 2016.

You can effectively manage an organization only if everyone follows orders and faifully discharges their duty. In a normal organization, a non-compliant employee would be fired. In a huge organization called the US government, with thousands entrenched and nigh-on impossible to fire career bureaucrats, what option do you have? Especially when dealing with the “intelligence community” that blocks any attempt at oversight.

You can fire a few political appointees but a huge bulk of the hostile bureaucracy remains. That bureaucracy accumulated tremendous power. Information is power. The most frightening thing is they have the power to ruin YOUR life, fortune and reputation and prosecute YOU for any bogus, manufactured crime but you can’t make them prosecute themselves for abusing their power. Laws are respected as long as there are people willing to enforce them. The DOJ is not willing, period.

So, nothing has been done because not much can be done. The monster is out of control. The only solution is to slay it but that’s out of question. Don’t expect justice, it is not coming.

Oh yeah, and half the population is okay with that.
