Wray says FBI conduct surrounding Carter Page FISA warrant 'unacceptable' and 'cannot be repeated'

FBI Director Christopher Wray testified Wednesday that the actions taken by the bureau to obtain a Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act warrant against former Trump campaign aide Carter Page were “unacceptable” and “cannot be repeated.”

 

During his first congressional appearance following the release of Justice Department Inspector General Michael Horowitz’s FISA review last year, Wray vowed to reform the FISA system by implementing “specific procedures and safeguards.”

 

“The failures highlighted in the inspector general report are unacceptable, period. And they cannot be repeated,” Wray testified before the House Judiciary Committee.

 

“I have already ordered more than 40 corrective actions to our FISA policies and procedures,” Wray continued, adding that he has “gone above and beyond” in outlining what “should be changed” and “can be changed” and can provide “accountability,” “rigor” and “discipline.”

Words on a page, it seems.  What is being done to punish those that overstepped their bounds?  And those that were behind the ordering of such?

The idea of any agencies operating in secret, being beyond scrutiny, or self-policing, is one of perpetuating abuses against Americans. Wray is clearly on the side of that. These lawless acts go to the heart of democracy when bureau employees seek to interfere in elections (which is precisely what these targeted investigations/doctored FISAs/media leaks/invoked 25th amendment discussions were intended to do) and subvert a candidate AND the sitting President. Needs to go.

I agree, Wray needs to hand out some pink slips.  I am though not holding my breath.

Wray needs to be pink-slipped himself.  He's part of the problem, not of any solution.
