The Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court that approved the Carter Page wiretap now wants to know more about all applications it's seen from an FBI attorney who allegedly changed a detail in the Page application
The review, revealed in an order released by the court on Friday, suggests a sweeping attempt by the ultra-secretive court to reassess surveillance, and comes as the court is responding to Justice Department Inspector General Michael Horowitz's findings of mistakes in the Page application process. On December 5, the FISC ordered the executive branch to identify for it"all other matters currently or previously before this Court" that involved FBI lawyer Kevin Clinesmith.
Justice Department watchdog says FBI could have ended Carter Page surveillance months earlier The FISC order also asks for information on whether Clinesmith -- referred to as"an attorney in the FBI's Office of the General Counsel" in the order -- faces possible disciplinary action from the bar.
