36. The FISA court issues surveillance warrants to Federal authorities not state

Tue May 30, 2017, 08:58 PM

May 2017

Schneiderman undoubtedly knows this and wouldn't go to the FISA court for a warrant. And the FISA court doesn't "hear cases" so he wouldn't have brought his investigation there either.

And there was no reason and no likelihood that the Sergeant at Arms of the Senate went to the White House to notify Trump that Rep. Green had given a speech on the House floor (not the Senate) calling for his impeachment -- a speech that had no legal effect in terms of initiating the impeachment process.

So the fact that some lawyer no one has ever heard of uncritically posted an article on Abrams' website basically restating Mensch's most recent blog piece means pretty much nothing.
