Trump Urges Supreme Court Chief Justice To Act on Russiagate Dossier, FISA Abuse

Aug. 30, 2018 (EIRNS)—President Donald Trump has called for the U.S. Supreme Court’s Chief Justice to direct the Presiding Judge in charge of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) Court to question FBI and U.S. Justice Department officials about their use of the so-called Christopher Steele Russia dossier in seeking a warrant to surveil people associated with his campaign.

He tweeted yesterday:

“Ohr told the FBI it (the Fake Dossier) wasn’t true, it was a lie and the FBI was determined to use it anyway to damage Trump and to perpetrate a fraud on the court to spy on the Trump campaign. This is a fraud on the court. The Chief Justice of the U.S. Supreme Court is in charge of the FISA court. He should direct the Presiding Judge, Rosemary Collier, to hold a hearing, haul all of these people from the DOJ & FBI in there, & if she finds there were crimes committed, and there were, there should be a criminal referral by her....” [ellipses in original].
