51% : Finally, these reforms would open up the FISA Court by requiring proceedings to be transcribed and made available to congressional oversight while assigning a court-appointed counsel to scrutinize U.S. person surveillance applications.
48% : This week, Congress has the chance to pass the single-largest overhaul to the FBI in nearly 20 years.Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA), which monitors foreign nationals overseas, is set to expire on April 19.
19% : Without corroboration, the FBI used the Steele dossier, which was paid for by Hillary Clinton's presidential campaign, as the basis to launch its Crossfire Hurricane investigation into allegations of collusion between Donald Trump and Russia.
19% : As the world would eventually learn, the FBI built a false narrative to justify their illegal actions by withholding key information from the judges who approved and renewed the bureau's application to monitor Donald Trump.
