Earlier this month, the secretive Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court (FISC) ordered the FBI to re-verify all previous warrant applications involving the FBI attorney who falsified evidence against the former Trump campaign aide Carter Page. However, Fox News has learned the court did not order the FBI to double-check warrant applications involving other officials who made key omissions and errors in warrant applications as the bureau sought to surveil Page.
The FISC's failure to request a comprehensive evaluation of previous submissions has stunned court-watchers who have questioned whether enough is being done to deter future misconduct by the FBI. In the past, the FISC

FISC can’t be trusted to reform itself, or hold the DOJ accountable for its egregious and unconstitutional trampling of our rights. Time for it to go. It cannot be trusted.

We should not have secret courts in the USA.

They need to eliminate FISA courts. This request from one of the judges that hosed up is a sham. An investigation should involve everyone that signed off on the Carter Page FISA warrant request. As I said, this is a sham.

I believe that the FISA "court," perhaps deeply embarrassed by its own malfeasance, is covering for the FIB.

Adding to #1's comment, the entire Federal government can't be trusted to reform itself. There is no "negative feedback" in the process and an "open-loop"or "runaway" government can occur. This has already happened with the salaries of Congress and staff where they get automatic raises unless they vote not to get them.
Perhaps what we need to enact is a Board of States' Attorneys General who annually review the policies of the Federal and Judiciary for compatibility with the Constitution. Anything amiss is brought to the attention of the Supreme Court for immediate adjudication bypassing the slow and lawyerly process of private/class-action lawsuits slowly rising up through courts, district courts, appeals courts, etc. to get to the Supreme Court.

Perhaps the members of the FISA judiciary as as crooked as the people who use them. Wasn't this big hairy deal born in the Jimmy Carter Administration? The same idiots that came up with the Department of Education as a free standing department? Doh!

The FISCs have merit but rely on honorable and honest FBI and CIA agents. This was not present during the Obama administration and so many people involved (including Wray, Roberts and FISC judges) are busy trying to sweep this under the rug. The rug is bulging bigly.

#9 We can point fingers at Obama all day but, I think they just got caught this time. Who really knows how many times over the years this has gone on? Criminals don't usually get caught the first time.

They've been leaving out quite a few non-FBI players as well. Coincidentally all of their names are followed by a "D" and one used to call himself a POTUS.

The FISA court was corrupted by the Obama administration, via the FBI. The original intent for the court, as I understand it, was to legally spy on foreign persons that were deemed a threat to the U.S.
Like everything else they get control of, the democrats corrupt and abuse. The FBI could not have done this without support (directives) from the very top of the Obama administration. Acquiring power and money is so important to the politicians that they will damage their own country, for which they have no loyalty.
This is a much more serious matter than it may seem. It is absolutely critical that harsh punishments be administered, and any future version of a FISA court be closely monitored and transparent. Judges are not above the law either, even if they sit on the Supreme Court!

Who ever thought for one minute that judges were not corrupt? Because of their position and ability to ruin lives, they must pay a very, very heavy price for their misdeeds. May it happen soon.

The lesson we law abiding citizens can take away from this FISA fiasco is that not only is Lady Justice blind, she is deaf, dumb and corrupt to her core. When corrupt politicians like Hillary Clinton, who clearly was violating federal law with her private server, gets a pass as a result of a politically bias FBI "investigation" it only proves there is a two-tiered system of justice in this country. One for the elite class, and one for the rest of us.

FISC/FISA is a huge danger to American Freedom. Get rid of the Patriot Act and the corrupt FISA courts
