More on the Flynn case

He doesn't have that authority.

What he SHOULD do is let it sit on his desk while McConnell and crew in the Senate get together to draft a replacement to offer after he vetoes it. then, while the screaming is going on from the Demmies, the Senate passes the replacement and sends it to the House.

What are they going to do then? There's no FISA, and they need FISA, and there's a Bill right there...

Check this out. Trump may be signalling a veto:

Trump urges GOP to vote 'NO' on FISA bill, citing Russia probe concerns
Tyler Olson

By Tyler Olson | Fox News

President Trump on Tuesday night warned that Republicans should vote against the reauthorization of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA), the controversial measure that sets up a separate legal avenue for the U.S. government to get permission to spy on individuals who might be agents of a foreign power in the United States.

Trump may get his wish. House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif., is now asking Democratic leadership to pull the FISA bill.

The act is currently expired, with a renewal of its provisions with some reform measures currently working its way through Congress.

"I hope all Republican House Members vote NO on FISA until such time as our Country is able to determine how and why the greatest political, criminal, and subversive scandal in USA history took place!" Trump tweeted.

Looks like the DOJ is opposed to any reform of the FISA Act:

DOJ urges Trump veto on FISA legislation, vote in limbo
Marisa Schultz
By Marisa Schultz | Fox News

The Justice Department on Wednesday urged President Trump to veto legislation to reauthorize surveillance authorities used by the FBI just hours before a scheduled vote in the House, marking the latest curveball that puts the legislation in limbo.

The Justice Department issued a statement Wednesday saying the legislation set to reauthorize and reform national security authorities in the U.S.A. Freedom Act goes too far and would weaken national security tools.

Trump threatens to veto FISA bill, says House version lacks controls to stop 'massive abuse'

'Our Country has just suffered through the greatest political crime in its history,' Trump tweeted Wednesday. 'The massive abuse of FISA was a big part of it!'

President Trump on Wednesday threatened to veto a pending Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) bill, saying it lacks controls to stop the kind of '"massive abuse" that enabled "the greatest political crime" in American history.

The pending congressional bill seeks to reauthorize FISA provisions which expired on March 15.

The Justice Department on Wednesday issued a statement saying that it opposed proposed changes to the House version of the FISA bill and recommended that Trump veto the bill if it reached the president's desk.

Assistant Attorney General Stephen Boyd wrote that the Senate version of the bill had made "specific fixes to the most significant problems," but those changes had been ignored by the House.

"It would be a mistake to conclude that all this is the result of the investigation into President Trump's campaign," veteran pollster Rasmussen cautioned when the poll findings were issued. "Distrust in government and government agencies runs deep in America. It's been nearly half a century since a majority of voters trusted the federal government to do the right thing even most of the time. So, the latest disclosures highlighting abuse of the FISA process might be seen as confirming what voters have long suspected."

Thank you for caring. It is only through active citizen participation and truth from news organizations that WE can drain the DeepState swamp.

We know you're confined to a rest home and the only constitution you care about is the one you testify to on the bedpan. However, the rest of us having a bit more freedom and other constitutional concerns, still care about government encroachments on those concerns and are prepared to stand up in their defense.

The Democrat left, loving their Soviet style governing practices, hate it when freedom loving people expose and speak out against those practices. ;)

The Left dreams of government control. Most spend considerable time masturbating to historic video of East Germany-style totalitarian government. The Left loves Communist China and North Korea. Remember how the Left (in the form of CNN and NBC and leftist press) drooled over Kim Jong-Un's sister back in the Olympics? That was commie/totalitarian porn for their tastes.
 
So is it Ya or Nay on using the FBI and CIA to spy on political opponents?

The "media" is affirmative. Many posters on Lit are also an affirmative. Some seem hesitant to approve while others are against the US President using government institutions to spy on their opponents.

I'm kinda getting mixed messages here.

It's not the "spying" that's the problem. It's the "getting caught at it" part that's the problem.

So true.

‘Biden Center’ at UPenn Under Fire over Financial Ties to China

The Biden Center at the University of Pennsylvania is under fire this week over its alleged failure to disclose millions of dollars in gifts from China. The center has allegedly failed to disclose $70 million in gifts from China since 2017.

Did you hear Nancy jump to the defense of Joe's visible mental dysfunction by suggesting no convention and no debates? Yesterday he talks about 35 million killed by the virus filing for unemployment, putting his finger to his ear piece and repeating out loud the hints he gets from his staff. Laura Ingraham played a segment of that debacle last night where he apparently farts on the air in Eric Swalwell fashion. The man is a barrel full of fuckedupness.
 
That propeller on your hat says it all. The Intelligencer is a NY based Democrat propaganda arm. The FBI claimed the Flynn call transcript proved Flynn lied about Russian "sanctions," the transcripts prove no such conversation took place and "sanctions" were never mentioned.

Right :rolleyes:

If it ain't Breitbart or Fox, it ain't news.

Your entire thread done got blown up :D
