Michael Horowitz, inspector general for the Department of Justice, released a damning report about the FBI’s counterintelligence investigation into Donald Trump’s 2016 presidential campaign. Specifically, Horowitz found that the FBI abused the process of obtaining warrants to initiate surveillance on the campaign through the secretive Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court under the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act, better known as FISA.
My guest is Jerry Dunleavy, Justice Department reporter for the Washington Examiner.
On today’s show, we’re going to discuss the inspector general report, how the FISA courts are supposed to work, and how the FBI abused the process.
