Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court presiding Judge Rosemary Collyer released a public order Friday, demanding to see all the applications handled by the FBI attorney, who is alleged to have changed the details in the FISA application on Carter Page.
In the two-page Dec. 5, order Collyer also requested that the bureau advise the court if FBI Attorney Kevin Clinesmith, who was involved in altering Page's application has been reported to the appropriate bar association for disciplinary action.
Page, who was a short term campaign volunteer for President Donald Trump, was wiretapped by the FBI. The bureau was given approval by the secret court to spy on Page based on the information it provided in the application to obtain the warrant from the court.
Collyer also asks the FBI to advise the court if Clinesmith's conduct "Has been referred to the appropriate bar association(s) for investigation or possible disciplinary action."
READ COURT ORDER HERE. In her letter Collyer states that "The Supplemental Letter identified the the USGA and provided additional information on the matter, some specific requests made by the Court concerning the conduct of the FBI OGC attorney and the nature of Page's prior reporting relationship," Collyer stated.
Further, Collyer advises that the court is reassessing the surveillance procedures utilized by the FBI in an effort to obtain the warrant to spy on Page.
Collyer's letter addressing the FBI's failure in the Page case is significant and was the first time the court has been given information that law enforcement officials directly violated the court standards to wiretap an American citizen.
