Simple Questions

January 21, 2018 by Jeff Carlson, CFA

A fellow researcher, @ar68599812 – recently posed the following (paraphrased) question:

Why did the FBI use outside contractors in the first place when the FBI already had direct access to the raw FISA information. Why risk the use of outside contractors who would likely draw unwanted attention – especially when the Dossier wasn’t even being constructed at this point.

In reality, the Dossier may not even have been considered at this point.Continue Reading

The Uncovering – Section 702 “About” Queries, Independent Contractors & a New Narrative

January 15, 2018 by Jeff Carlson, CFA

As I’ve been traveling for a few days, today will serve as an overview of sorts.

Before we move forward, theconservativetreehouse provides us with a good overview of FISA-702 (16)(17):

  • (17) – A search query based on “ABOUT”

FISA searches can be conducted on any foreign person without issue.  All non-U.S. citizens on the entire planet can be searched 24/7/365 no issues.  FISA searches on foreign people have no restrictions at all.
