Bill Barr blasts Trump for call to kill FISA: ‘Crazy and reckless’

(Barr STFU, no one trusts you anymore, you lie, and lie and lie again. Does he realize at least 100 million American's hate him intensely?)

Fear mongering just starting.

Former Attorney General Bill Barr on Wednesday denounced former President Trump’s exhortation for Congress to kill the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) as “crazy and reckless” and warned there will be “blood on people’s hands” if the intelligence community’s surveillance authority expires and there’s a terrorist attack on the United States. (FF already set up by IC agencies, Anon's spread the word, that's the warning)

Barr, who served in Trump’s Cabinet in 2019 and 2020, noted that Trump at one time supported the expanded surveillance powers authorized under Section 702 of FISA and warned that political “posturing” against extending that authority would be dangerous to national security.

“I think it’s crazy and reckless to not move forward with FISA. It’s our principal tool protecting us from terrorist attacks. We’re living through a time where those threats have never been higher, so it’s blinding us, it’s blinding our allies,” Barr told The Hill in an interview.

“I think President Trump’s opposition seems to have stemmed from personal pique rather than any logic and reason. The provision that he objects to has nothing to do with the provision that’s on the floor,” he said, referring to the legislation that would reauthorize Section 702 of FISA, which stalled in the House on Wednesday after 19 Republicans voted to defeat a rule to move it forward not long after Trump said it should be killed.

“KILL FISA, IT WAS ILLEGALLY USED AGAINST ME, AND MANY OTHERS. THEY SPIED ON MY CAMPAIGN!!!” Trump posted on Truth Social, his social media platform, shortly before the House GOP conference met to discuss the legislation.

Hours later, the House voted 193 to 228 to defeat the rule to advance the reauthorization of surveillance authority. The House vote leaves the future of legislation extending Section 702 of FISA, which expires on April 19, unclear.

Barr argued that Trump’s statement itself is incorrect, pointing out that the wiretap of former Trump campaign adviser Carter Page during the 2016 election had no connection to Section 702. “The part of FISA that was abused during Russia-gate had to do with getting wiretaps for American citizens, and that’s not what’s being considered. This is our ability to exploit foreign communications, and there are no Fourth Amendment issues with respect to the collection of this information,” Barr said of the Section 702 surveillance authority.

“I believe this will result in attacks on the United States we’re not able to intercept,” he warned.Barr pointed out that Trump supported extending Section 702 authority while he was president but then later waffled on the issue.

“Initially, he was willing to have it reauthorized and told me to go ahead and get it reauthorized, and then he flip-flopped around about it depending on who the last person to talk to him was,” he recalled. “As he became angrier and angrier about the left’s attacks on him over Russia-gate, he became less willing to support reauthorization.

“I think that is improper because this is protecting the national security, and the objections he has to Section 1 don’t apply here. I feel there’s a lot of political posturing here. I don’t think when it comes to something this important in protecting the country there should be,” he said. Barr warned that allowing the intelligence community’s surveillance authority to expire could backfire in a major way on Republicans who block the reauthorization of FISA if there’s an attack on U.S. soil that could have been otherwise prevented.

“I hope for Republicans’ sake that there are no attacks, because if there are, I think there will be blood on people’s hands for doing this. It’s reckless,” he said.

And he said the future of intelligence agencies’ ability to surveil foreign threats could be significantly compromised if Trump is elected and continues to opposed Section 702 of FISA.Asked if future surveillance authority would be jeopardized if Trump returns to the White House, Barr said: “Who knows? It would seem that way.” (Not so veiled threats)
