Former FBI Official Calls Revelations in IG Report on FISA Abuses ‘Terrifying’

A former FBI official responded to the release of the Department of Justice Inspector General’s report about FISA abuses, calling the revelations “terrifying.”

Former FBI Assistant Director Chris Swecker made the comments to Neil Cavuto on his Fox News show on Wednesday. . .

“These are serious abuses. FISA is the most intrusive technique you can use. You can put a microphone in someone’s house, you can put a camera in their house. You can intercept their phone calls, you can intercept their emails, their texts, you can mirror their hard drives,” he explained.

“You can look at every aspect of someone’s life with a FISA order. It’s extremely intrusive and to find out there were 17 different errors, omissions and unsupported assertions in there, is absolutely is terrifying to me,” he concluded.

“We gotta make sure that the people who did this are held accountable,” Swecker continued. “It’s not the FBI, it’s the Comey leadership team, it comes from the top.” (Read more from “Former FBI Official Calls Revelations in IG Report on FISA Abuses ‘Terrifying'” HERE)
