Senate Select Committee on Intelligence (view source)
Revision as of 23:26, August 13, 2019
, 23:26, August 13, 2019no edit summary
When the [[Obama administration]] illegally used the foreign intelligence gathering apparatus for domestic political spying, this presented unique unprecedented problems for the committee. The [[FISA court]]s and intelligence committee oversight were created specifically to deal with [[Nixon]]-era and [[J. Edgar Hoover]]'s [[Fourth Amendment]] abuses of American citizens' rights. The Obama administration exploited loopholes in the [[Patriot Act]] and amendments to target members of an opposing political campaign as a network of "agents of a foreign power."

In March of 2017, SSCI director of security James Wolfe [[leak]]ed the Carter Page FISA warrant to the ''[[New York Times]]'',<ref>https://threadreaderapp.com/thread/1074181501774815234.html</ref> setting off a media firestorm of [[Trump-Russia collusion]]. Wolfe apparently leaked the classified information upon instruction from his Senate bosses.
