The DOJ watchdog who unearthed serious problems with the FBI’s use of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act during the Trump-Russia investigation told Congress on Thursday about “concerning” flaws with the bureau’s use of FISA powers.
Inspector General Michael Horowitz’s comments came during a hearing in front of the House Judiciary Subcommittee on Crime and Federal Government Surveillance on "Fixing FISA.
Rep. Jerry Nadler referenced a bipartisan letter he sent to then-Director of National Intelligence James Clapper in April 2016 pressing the DNI on the number of transactions from Americans that are subject to 702, and Nadler said that “seven years later, that number has not been provided.” Nadler asked Horowitz if the FBI had given him answers on this.
Franklin said, “That’s correct,” and that “the intelligence agencies have asserted that it is infeasible for them to calculate a meaningful number, and they have not done so.” “On the Carter Page FISAs, one of the serious problems that we found was the FBI was sitting on information and wasn’t telling the prosecutors that information,” Horowitz testified.
Tiffany highlighted recent revelations that former Obama acting CIA director and Hunter Biden laptop letter organizer Mike Morell said he was “triggered” by now-Secretary of State Antony Blinken in October 2020 to write the letter. The congressman asked Horowitz, “How effective will reform of 702 be if we can’t trust our intelligence agencies?”
