Jay Sekulow on FISA Abuse: If There Was Ever a Need for a Special Counsel This Is One of Those Moments

USH EXCERPT:

SEKULOW: "Well, you have to look at the time line here, Sean, to show how dangerous the precedent that’s been established by the FBI. James Comey and the FBI attempted to get a FISA warrant in the summer of 2016. They were not successful. They then moved in October by adding to their request the Steele dossier. Then they get a FISA warrant so that FISA warrant is issued. In January, before the president was sworn in James Comey meets and says dangerous and unsolicited dossier. The president was not uninvestigation and that not to worry about that. Yet, seven weeks before then, he obtained a FISA warrant based on that dossier. Then it was renewed a day before the inauguration and then renewed subsequently again. So, when you look at just the chain of events. And that’s what I want people to focus on the time line here is very, very not only dangerous what did they tell the FISA court? They didn’t say this was political opposition research. They didn’t say it was unverified. Chris Steele leaked the information to a media source. The FBI says they cut off formal relations to them did. They tell that to the FISA judge in the real issue here is both to the nature of what they did but also what they did to the court and I think all that has to be reviewed obviously. And I think special counsel is necessary to review this entire matter. Because we’re not even including the Bruce Ohr situation or any of that you add all of that together, I think it needs to be outside counsel.
