GOP Refuses To Renew FISA Without Changes

GOP won't reauthorize FISA without FBI reforms following Durham report: 'Stop the abuses'​

Leading House Republicans won't back the reauthorization of powers under the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act without major reforms in the wake of the FBI’s FISA abuses and special counsel John Durham’s report.

Rep. Mike Turner (R-OH), chairman of the House Intelligence Committee, Rep. Darin LaHood (R-IL), the Turner-designated leader of the committee’s FISA Working Group, and Rep. Mike Garcia (R-CA), another key committee member, all spoke with the Washington Examiner about the need for guardrails before FISA powers are reauthorized.

The trio of lawmakers want reforms at the FBI and at the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court, which approves the secret warrants. Their demands are at odds with the Biden administration, which wants to reauthorize FISA Section 702 powers without changes before it expires at the end of 2023.

“We have been very clear on a bipartisan basis with the intelligence community and the FBI that there is no support in Congress for a clean reauthorization of 702,” Turner told the Washington Examiner. “Reforms are necessary. We will be taking up the issue of reforms, and they will not be limited to 702 itself. It will encompass both abuses that we are aware of and abuses that are now in the public domain as a result of disclosure and Durham.”

It simply has to be much more difficult for Democrats and their Deep State allies to steal another election.

I have to agree and said so in the past. Where we are today was inevitable. Many predicted this kind of corruption of power would occur.

I'm in agreement there as well. Both the Patriot Act and FISA should expire gracefully, and let's revisit how best to approach (and delineate) the work space for handling such types of activities. We've learned a lot over the years - let's, as a nation, put some of those lessons learned to use.

Totally agree Paul, with 278,000 illegal queries of FISA data and when “roughly 8,000 to 10,000 FBI analysts and personnel have access” nothing good is bound to come of it. It's time to secure our constitutional rights with much more stringent controls on the bureaucracy. Maybe it would be better to trash the whole process and the FISC and start anew.

Bipartisanship, yay!

I'll always fight to repeal the patriot act. My reps typically respond with some bs about how we still need it and that there are other priorities.....I'll keep writing them
