Wall Street Journal: Secretive Surveillance Court Rebukes FBI Over Handling of Wiretapping of Trump Aide

(From The Wall Street Journal)

Judge Rosemary Collyer, the presiding judge of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court, called the FBI’s actions”antithetical to the heightened duty of candor” owed to the court by government agents.

“The frequency with which representations made by FBI personnel turned out to be unsupported or contradicted by information in their possession, and with which they withheld information detrimental to their case, calls into question whether information contained in other FBI applications is reliable,” Judge Collyer wrote, referring to the behavior of FBI personnel criticized in a recent Justice Department watchdog report.
