I presume FISA courts are in D.C., so I suppose this could be true. But judges, ADAs, Federal justice employees live in, and work closely together in, hundreds of localities across the USA. No ADA/Agent in any of them ever have stories that start with "A judge found out I (even sorta kinda) lied" that ended well for everyone involved.
- jessaustin 7y agoDoJ lies all the time. The judges know this. The system does not exist to police itself.
- pkilgore 7y agoThose are two different systems, so it's not clear what you are trying to say, other than, like, burn it all down man.
- jessaustin 7y agoIn the public courts, DoJ lies with impunity. It's very difficult for defendants to escape with their freedom; holding federal prosecutors responsible for their misdeeds is the last thing on their minds. In the FISA courts, DoJ lies with impunity. The judges occasionally throw a warrant back and tell them to try harder, but mostly DGAF, because no publicity. Now there is publicity, and suddenly a judge cares... I am an anarchist, so I oppose all arbitrary authority. If burning will solve these problems, then let's burn. If not, let's do something else.
