| | On April 18, 2016, following the preliminary audit results, Director Rogers shut down all FBI contractor access to the database after he learned FISA-702 “about”(17) and “to/from”(16) search queries were being done without authorization. The NSA database had been continually illegally misused during the [[Obama administration]] to conduct political surveillance. It was the discovery of the database exploitation and the removal of access as a surveillance tool that created the Obama operatives initial problem. The system users needed to develop another way to get access. On April 19, 2016, [[Fusion-GPS]] founder [[Glenn Simpson]]’s wife, [[Mary Jacoby]], a Hillary Clinton friend going back to [[Little Rock]], visited the White House. Immediately thereafter, the DNC and Clinton campaign hired Fusion GPS, who then hired [[Christopher Steele]]. | | On April 18, 2016, following the preliminary audit results, Director Rogers shut down all FBI contractor access to the database after he learned FISA-702 “about”(17) and “to/from”(16) search queries were being done without authorization.

| − | As FISA Judge Rosemary Collyer later wrote in her report, “many of these non-compliant queries involved the use of the same identifiers over different date ranges.” Put another way: attributes belonging to a specific individual(s) were being targeted and queried, unlawfully. The primary search target, over multiple date ranges, was Donald Trump. There were tens-of-thousands of unauthorized search queries; and as Judge Collyer stated in her report, there is no reason to believe the 85% non compliant rate was any different from the abuse of the NSA database going back to 2012. Judge Collyer wrote: “many of these non-compliant queries involved the use of the same identifiers over different date ranges.” The system users were searching the same phone number, email address, electronic identifier, repeatedly over different dates. Specific persons were being tracked/monitored. Collyer also wrote: “while the government reports it is unable to provide a reliable estimate of” these non lawful searches “since 2012, there is no apparent reason to believe the November 2015 [to] April 2016 coincided with an unusually high error rate”. That means the 85% unlawful FISA-702(16)(17) database abuse had been happening since 2012. There were more than 10,000 illegal FISA database queries by contractors just between November 2015 to April 2016. | + | As FISA Judge Rosemary Collyer later wrote in her report, “many of these non-compliant queries involved the use of the same identifiers over different date ranges.” Put another way: attributes belonging to a specific individual(s) were being targeted and queried, unlawfully.
