FreedomWorks’ Alex Deise writes, “We’ve all watched the cringeworthy hearings where senators take turns ‘grilling’ Big Tech CEOs over why their constituent emails have such low open rates. While the fight over regulating Big Tech rages, Americans’ 4th Amendment rights continue to be abused in other areas that do in fact require a measured response. As it turns out, such a remedy already exists.

The Reactionary’s Techno Fog writes, “Knowing the history of the FISA Court excusing government misconduct, we present the same question now that we did after the Clinesmith sentencing: What does it say about the FISA Court’s ‘heightened duty of candor’ if there aren’t heightened punishments for violating that duty?

And we have one final question – one that has applied to Director Wray for the last few years: how could the FBI Director allow these abuses to continue?”

Fox News reported Thursday: “DOJ watchdog Horowitz reveals over 200 errors in FBI FISA applications.”
