FISA court selects former Obama admin lawyer, left-wing blogger to oversee FBI’s surveillance reforms

The Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court ( FISC ) has stunned court-watchers by selecting David Kris — a former Obama administration lawyer who has appeared on “ The Rachel Maddow Show ” and written extensively in support of the FBI ’ s surveillance practices on the left-wing blog Lawfare — to oversee the FBI ’ s implementation of reforms in the wake of a damning Department of Justice inspector general report last year .
The development on Friday , first reported by independent journalist Mike Cernovich , has roiled Republicans who have demanded accountability at the FBI .
House Intelligence Commitee @ @ @ @ @ @ @ told The Daily Caller that Kris ’ appointment was “ shocking ” and “ inexplicable.
” “ It ’ s hard to imagine a worse person the FISC could have chosen outside Comey , McCabe , or Schiff , ” Nunes said .
Speaking to Fox News contributor Sara Carter , Nunes added : “ It ’ s a ridiculous choice .
The FBI lied to the FISC , and to help make sure that doesn ’ t happen again , the FISC chose an FBI apologist who denied and defended those lies @ @ @ @ @ @ @ credibility on fire.
” On Fox News ’ “ Sunday Morning Futures , ” Nunes reminded anchor Maria Bartiromo that Kris had panned the now-vindicated 2018 memo produced by Nunes ’ panel , which asserted a series of surveillance abuses by the FBI against former Trump aide Carter Page .
DOJ Inspector General Michael Horowitz later substantiated Nunes ’ claims , noting that the FBI had made numerous materially false representations to the FISC .
“ Of all the people in the swamp … this is the guy that you come up with @ @ @ @ @ @ @ guy that was accusing me of federal crimes ?
The guy that was defending the dirty cops at the FBI ?

The Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court (FISC) has stunned court-watchers by selecting David Kris — a former Obama administration lawyer who has appeared on “The Rachel Maddow Show” and written extensively in support of the FBI’s surveillance practices on the left-wing blog Lawfare — to oversee the FBI’s implementation of reforms in the wake of a damning Department of Justice inspector general report last year.
The development on Friday, first reported by independent journalist Mike Cernovich, has roiled Republicans who have demanded accountability at the FBI. House Intelligence Commitee ranking member Devin Nunes, R-Calif., told The Daily Caller that Kris’ appointment was “shocking” and “inexplicable.”
“It’s hard to imagine a worse person the FISC could have chosen outside [James] Comey, [Andy] McCabe, or [Adam] Schiff,” Nunes said. Speaking to Fox News contributor Sara Carter, Nunes added: “It’s a ridiculous choice. The FBI lied to the FISC, and to help make sure that doesn’t happen again, the FISC chose an FBI apologist who denied and defended those lies. The FISC is setting its own credibility on fire.”
On Fox News’ “Sunday Morning Futures,” Nunes reminded anchor Maria Bartiromo that Kris had panned the now-vindicated 2018 memo produced by Nunes’ panel, which asserted a series of surveillance abuses by the FBI against former Trump aide Carter Page. DOJ Inspector General Michael Horowitz later substantiated Nunes’ claims, noting that the FBI had made numerous materially false representations to the FISC.
“Of all the people in the swamp … this is the guy that you come up with?” Nunes asked. “The guy that was accusing me of federal crimes? The guy that was defending the dirty cops at the FBI? … The court must be trying to abolish itself. There is long-term damage.”
President Trump then referenced Nunes’ interview with Bartiromo on Twitter on Sunday afternoon, calling Kris “highly controversial” and slamming the FISC’s decision. – READ MORE

While a spokesman at Iran’s mission to the United Nations declined to comment on the exchanges, he said “we appreciate [the Swiss] for any efforts they make to provide an efficient channel to exchange letters when and if necessary.” Another Iranian official said the back channel provided a welcome bridge, when all others had been burned: “In the desert, even a drop of water matters.” – READ MORE

FBI Says Apple Has Already Provided ‘Tons of’ Data from Saudi Killer’s iPhones — Apple Agrees, Says A.G. Barr Not Telling Entire Truth

Someone here is not telling the truth and it appears to be the Justice Department and its leader .
Yesterday , United States Attorney General Bill Barr says he has asked Apple for help in unlocking the phones of the Pensacola , Florida naval base shooter in the terror investigation that has been ongoing since the attack in December .
Barr says the tech giant has been uncooperative .
“ We have asked Apple for their help in unlocking the shooter ’ s phones .
So far Apple has not given us any substantive assistance , ” Barr said at @ @ @ @ @ @ @ situation perfectly illustrates why it is critical that the public be able to get access to digital evidence once it has obtained a court order based on probable cause.
” Adding that the crime was an ‘ act of terrorism.
’ Barr also called on other tech companies to help unlock the devices .
But FBI Intel sources told True Pundit on Tuesday that Apple has already provided several gigs of data frome the Apple icloud accounts of the phones belonging to the Saudi shooter Mohammed Saeed Alshamrani who killed three sailors at @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
Barr , who called on all phone companies to give the Feds access to encrypted data , was flanked by FBI brass during his speech on Monday as well but rank-and-file agents said Apple has been cooperating with the FBI and has turned over the data from the iPhones .
So who here is not telling the truth ?
Well , Apple says Barr is posturing .
That ’ s a nice word for not telling the truth .
Lawyers do that .
Most of the time .
In a statement released @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in the Bureau .
Apple responded to the Attorney General ’ s accusations in a statement to INPUT , writing in part , “ there is no such thing as a backdoor just for the good guys.
” Essentially saying they were unwilling to unlock the iPhones .
We reject the characterization that Apple has not provided substantive assistance in the Pensacola investigation .
Our responses to their many requests since the attack have been timely , thorough and are ongoing .
Within hours of the FBI ’ s first request on December @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of information associated with the investigation .
From December 7th through the 14th , we received six additional legal requests and in response provided information including iCloud backups , account information and transactional data for multiple accounts .
We responded to each request promptly , often within hours , sharing information with FBI offices in Jacksonville , Pensacola and New York .
The queries resulted in many gigabytes of information that we turned over to investigators .
In every instance , we responded with all of the information that we had .
The @ @ @ @ @ @ @ that they needed additional assistance — a month after the attack occurred .
Only then did we learn about the existence of a second iPhone associated with the investigation and the FBI ’ s inability to access either iPhone .
It was not until January 8th that we received a subpoena for information related to the second iPhone , which we responded to within hours .
Early outreach is critical to accessing information and finding additional options .
We are continuing to work with the FBI , and our engineering teams recently had @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
Apple has great respect for the Bureau ’ s work , and we will work tirelessly to help them investigate this tragic attack on our nation .
The more interesting question to me here is why does it take a month for the FBI to ask Apple for data from one of the killer ’ s phones ?
A month ?
Really ?
What the hell are you people doing ?

Read the full statement below.
We reject the characterization that Apple has not provided substantive assistance in the Pensacola investigation. Our responses to their many requests since the attack have been timely, thorough and are ongoing.
Within hours of the FBI’s first request on December 6th, we produced a wide variety of information associated with the investigation. From December 7th through the 14th, we received six additional legal requests and in response provided information including iCloud backups, account information and transactional data for multiple accounts.
We responded to each request promptly, often within hours, sharing information with FBI offices in Jacksonville, Pensacola and New York. The queries resulted in many gigabytes of information that we turned over to investigators. In every instance, we responded with all of the information that we had.
The FBI only notified us on January 6th that they needed additional assistance — a month after the attack occurred. Only then did we learn about the existence of a second iPhone associated with the investigation and the FBI’s inability to access either iPhone. It was not until January 8th that we received a subpoena for information related to the second iPhone, which we responded to within hours.

Former Trump administration national security adviser Michael Flynn filed court papers Tuesday to withdraw his guilty plea, saying federal prosecutors had acted in “bad faith” and breached their deal with him.
The request comes one week after the Justice Department changed its position on Flynn’s punishment by recommending that he serve up to six months in prison for lying to the FBI during its investigation into ties between the Trump campaign and Russia.
Prosecutors had earlier said Flynn was entitled to avoid prison time because of his extensive cooperation, but they changed their view after he hired new lawyers, who leveled accusations of misconduct against the government that a judge has since rejected.
In the court filing, defense lawyers said the Justice Department is attempting to “rewrite history” by withdrawing its recommendation that he be sentenced to probation and by suggesting he had not been forthcoming or cooperative.
“Michael T. Flynn is innocent. Mr. Flynn has cooperated with the government in good faith for two years. He gave the prosecution his full cooperation,” the lawyers wrote.
This story is developing.

A bill put forward by Delegate Mark Levine (D) would make it a felony to own legally purchased firearm suppressors in Virginia.
Suppressors fall under the purview of the National Firearms Act of 1934, which means the sale of the devices is overseen by various federal agencies.
For example, to acquire a suppressor, one has to undergo an in-depth background check from the FBI, pay the federal government a $200 tax, register the firearm with the ATF, be fingerprinted, photographed, etc. The process takes about nine months.
Under Levine’s bill, H.B.961, Virginians who have undergone the legal process to acquire a suppressor would be labeled felons after the passage of a six-month grace period in which suppressors can be transferred to persons out-of-state who are allowed to own them, destroyed or rendered inoperable, or surrendered to a “state or local law enforcement agency.” – READ MORE

As for when President Donald Trump authorized the killing of late Iranian general Qasem Soleimani, a new report shows it may have been months prior to the death of the head of the Quds Force.
NBC News reports that Trump apparently authorized Soleimani’s death roughly seven months prior, on the condition if an American was killed, according to five former and current senior administration officials.
The authorization, according to the sources, came last June. However, Trump had to have the final sign off on a specific attack that would kill Soleimani, as NBC News reports.
One official told the outlet, “There have been a number of options presented to the president over the course of time.”
According to NBC News, both former National Security Advisor John Bolton and Secretary of State Mike Pompeo wanted Trump to kill Soleimani after Iran’s Revolutionary Guard Corps shot down a U.S. drone in June of 2019. – READ MORE
