This is our problem – Chief Justice Roberts, nominated by Bush I and his entire family defected to the Democrats, is attached to Obama and is continuing this coup – all for the One World Order Project. Remember what Roberts did to the people with Obamacare and the tax.
After the coup by the Democrats, we cannot trust any of them.
He needs to be impeached.
Chief Justice Roberts tapped Judge James Boasberg, an Obama appointee to replace Collyer. Then this jake leg Boasberg appointed another Obama lawyer, David Kris. Therefore, we are back to the original problem – so that they can cover their own a$$.
The moves were in response to the FBI abusing the FISA process after it obtained a total of four FISA warrants on Carter Page.
Until all of the Democrats who were part of the coup are removed from the government – nothing will change. They will continue this Democrat coup.
David Kris, a former assistant attorney general with the DOJ’s national security division during the Obama administration was selected to help reform the FISA COURT. We need to dump all of the Democrat lawyers in the DOJ and start over like Bush II did. The DOJ, THE STATE DEPARTMENT, AND THE PENTAGON are infiltrated with spies who are working for Obama/Iran.
It is called, the fox in the hen house. Kris was a part of the original problem. We need to dissolve the FISA Court and the spying on the American people after what has been going on with the Democrats who were using this FISA COURT as a tool against the American people. AGAIN, DISSOLVE THE FISA COURT in its entirety.
The FISA Court is not trying to abolish itself. It is called – CYA and we all know what that means. The Trump-hating loon will only keep “playing with himself” until he re-institutes the same Obama measures to continue playing the “same” game with himself so you can’t find the treason they have committed. That is why the Obummer people are never removed from their original places and plans. They think no one will notice.
They just repaint the chairs and reappear.

‘Ridiculous choice’: Obama lawyer David Kris picked to oversee FISA reform oversight

Hashing it Out: Jerry Dunleavy on the IG Report and the FISA Court
The FISA Court selected a longtime defender of the FBI’s Trump-Russia investigation to be its adviser in overseeing the FBI’s implementation of reforms following the Justice Department’s watchdog report on the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act.
David Kris, a former assistant attorney general with the DOJ’s national security division during the Obama administration, is a controversial choice, having spent most of President Trump’s term defending the bureau’s decision-making, including its use of British ex-spy Christopher Steele’s salacious and unverified dossier to obtain surveillance warrants against former Trump campaign associate Carter Page. Kris also defended the FISA Court itself from accusations it hadn’t done its due diligence to ensure the bureau’s investigation was conducted properly.Kris harshly criticized the FISA memo put together by Republican California Rep. Devin Nunes in early 2018 that alleged “abuses related to the FISA process” by the FBI, though DOJ Inspector General Michael Horowitz’s report released late last year showed nearly all the claims made by Nunes in his memo were correct, a fact acknowledged even by Democratic California Rep. Adam Schiff, who released a competing memo at the time.
He claimed “the central irony” of the Nunes memo “is that it tried to deceive the American people in precisely the same way that it falsely accused the FBI of deceiving the FISA Court” and “the key question going forward is whether the memo’s authors and sponsors will face any consequences for their dishonesty” in one of many articles for Lawfare, a website created by fired FBI Director James Comey’s friend, Benjamin Wittes.
Nunes told Fox News contributor Sara Carter: “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.”
Horowitz concluded the FBI’s investigation was flawed and criticized the DOJ and the FBI for 17 “significant errors and omissions” in targeting Page and relying on Steele’s dossier, affirming most of the claims Nunes made almost two years prior and criticizing the bureau’s “entire chain of command.” Horowitz was unable to determine whether the FBI’s screw-ups were due to “gross negligence” or “intentional misconduct.” Horowitz also referred one FBI lawyer to the DOJ for possible criminal prosecution.
“You can’t make this up!” Trump tweeted of Kris on Sunday. “Zero credibility. THE SWAMP!”
“The fact that of all the people in the swamp … this is the guy you come up with?” Nunes said Sunday on Fox News. “The court must be trying to abolish itself … He picks one of the guys who was essentially covering up for the dirty cops.”
James Boasberg, the presiding judge over the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court, appointed Kris to serve as the court’s amicus curiae — a position which is supposed to provide impartial advice to the court. Kris has defended the FISA Court against criticism, claiming, “FISA applications are subjected to exacting … and serious scrutiny” and “the FISA Court is not a rubber stamp.”
Kris claimed “the Nunes memo looks even worse” when hundreds of heavily redacted pages from the Carter Page FISA applications were released in July 2018. And he went on MSNBC and agreed with host Rachel Maddow’s claims that fuller disclosures about the FISA process would make Trump look worse.
“Yes, I think you are right that these applications already substantially undermine the president’s narrative and that of his proxies. And it seems to me very likely that if we get below the tip of the iceberg into the submerged parts and more is revealed, it will get worse, not better,” he said.
After the release of Horowitz’s report, Kris conceded in late December that Nunes memo had been right about many things, including that the FBI incorrectly told the FISA Court Steele wasn’t the source of a Yahoo News article they used in the FISA applications, DOJ official Bruce Ohr acted improperly in a multitude of ways, and the Steele dossier formed a central part of the bureau’s pursuit of FISA surveillance.
“Even if the Nunes memo had some of the details wrong, its basic point that this behavior was highly irregular was correct,” Kris said.
But Kris stood by his contention that the FBI did nothing wrong when it didn’t inform the FISA Court that Steele was being paid by the Clinton campaign through cut-outs, and he did not retract his Nunes attacks.
Kris also criticized the decision by Attorney General William Barr and U.S Attorney John Durham to publicly disagree with Horowitz’s conclusion that the launch of the Trump-Russia investigation was properly predicated, suggesting both will be the subjects of complaints within the DOJ office which investigates misconduct and seeming to hope for an inspector general investigation into Barr himself, accusing Barr of acting upon political considerations and quoting former Attorney General Eric Holder’s claim that Barr is “unfit to lead the Justice Department.”
And Kris said, “Nor am I outraged by the FBI’s actions” last January because “the FBI effectively could not avoid investigating the president.” Kris claimed the Steele dossier “has held up quite well … according to the best and most recent assessment that I have seen” and was “properly taken seriously.”
He repeatedly speculated that Trump would end up being charged by special counsel Robert Mueller or other investigators.
Kris did not respond to the Washington Examiner’s request for comment.

Clear the deck with all of these traitors. They can’t be trusted. They get two paychecks – one from the government and one from Soros.

On Friday,Judge James Boasberg, the new head of the FISA Court, announced in an order that he has appointed Obama-era national security leader at the DOJ David S. Kris as amicus counsel to review the reforms the FBI will be making to its FISA application process.
In December presiding FISA judge Rosemary Collyer announced she would be stepping down early from the FISA Court due to ‘health issues.’
Chief Justice Roberts tapped Judge James Boasberg, an Obama appointee to replace Collyer.
The moves were in response to the FBI abusing the FISA process after it obtained a total of four FISA warrants on Carter Page.
David Kris is an anti-Trump activist who wrote several articles lying about Rep. Devin Nunes and President Trump.
And HE was picked to clean up the FISA process!
This is UNBELIEVABLE!
On Sunday Rep. Devin Nunes joined Maria Bartiromo on Sunday Morning Futures
