One “great” thing about Trump taking office has been all of the sunlight on the FBI/DOJ abuses. We already knew these surveillance systems would be abused, and now we have many evidences of smoking guns. Unfortunately right now the only places picking them up are conservative researchers. Don’t ask me why.

This quote is a verifiable fact and should frighten everyone:

> We know from Collyers report the FISA-702(16)(17) process was extraordinarily abused by verified “contractors” who had access to the FBI/NSA database. The rate of abuse was 85%. Meaning 85 out of every 100 FISA702 database searches were unauthorized and outside of compliance.[1]

It gets worse. The data was used/sold for political purposes by opposition researchers.

The whole thing stinks and it’s not a partisan issue. Anyone that cares about this stuff should be rallying around this news and demanding more information. Parties aside, this is serious.
