→FISA abuse
The [[FISA]] warrant approved to surveil [[Carter Page]] in October 2016, labelling him as an "agent of a foreign power," granted the FBI the authority to apply the same extensive intrusions to anyone Carter Page had electronic (cell phone, text & email) communications with in the Trump transition team and Trump administration. The surveillance authority was in effect at least up to August 2017. Being that Special Counsel Robert Mueller was given unprecedented power by taking over a counterintelligence investigation, it is unknown if Mueller has FISA authority. Under the FISA Act, if an American citizen is labelled an "agent of a foreign power," their rights of [[due process]] and protections of the [[Fourth Amendment]] can be ignored. This appears to have happened to an inordinate number of Trump appointees, White House staffers, and even possibly Congressional Republicans.

===Senate Intelligence Committee===
Sundance of theconservativetreehouse.com has repeatedly stated a dictum: {{quotebox| “The most corrupt part of congress is the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence (SSCI). The SSCI is the center of the deepest part of the Deep State swamp. The SSCI never, ever, E.V.E.R… does anything that does not protect and advance the self-interest of the corrupt Washington DC professional political class.”<ref>https://theconservativetreehouse.com/2018/08/08/highly-suspect-corrupt-senate-intelligence-committee-wants-to-interview-julian-assange-behind-closed-doors/</ref>}}
