Featuring Julian Sanchez (@normative), Senior Fellow, Cato Institute; Caleb O. Brown (@cobrown), Director of Multimedia, Cato Institute
The infamous “Nunes memo” has landed. Produced by Congressional staff and declassified by the President, the document alleged surveillance warrants on Trump campaign officials from the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court (FISC) were obtained without providing the court with important information.
Intelligence experts have generally been skeptical of the memo’s conclusions, but the fight over this document may do long‐term damage to attempts to provide important oversight for the secretive FISC.
