United States Scnat COMMITTEE ON THE AUDICARY WASHINGTON DC 2050 627 June 27, 2017 ONI The Honorable Rod J. Rosenstein Deputy Attorney General U.S. Department of Justice 950 Pennsylvania Avenue, N.W Washington, DC 20530 The Honorable Andrew McCabe Director Federal Bureau of Investigation 935 Pennsylvania Avenue, N.W Washington, DC 20535 Dear Deputy Attorney General Rosenstein and Acting Director McCabe: We are writing to request information regarding FISA-related actions by the FBI and the Justice Department in the course of the investigation of Russian interference in the 2016 election, including the investigations into allegations of collusion between the Trump campaign and the Russians. As explained below, we are writing to request the following related materials: all proposed FISA applications that the FBI and Justice Department submitted to the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court (FISC); the FISC's responses to such proposed FISA applications; all final, signed FISA applications that the FBI and the Justice Department submitted to the FISC; and the FISC's responses to the final, signed applications. Media reports and the FISC's 2016 annual report provide reason to believe that, in the course of these investigations, the FBI and Justice Department may have submitted proposed FISA applications that the FISC preliminarily evaluated and stated it would reject, which the FBI and Justice Department then modified and resubmitted. Media reports also provide reason to believe that the FBI and Justice Department may have submitted some final, signed FISA applications in these matters that the FISC rejected outright. The Committee needs all of these documents to evaluate fully the FBI's and Justice Department's actions in this situation. Under Rule 9(a) of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court's Rules of Procedure, the government provides the Court its proposed FISA applications at least seven days before filing its final, signed FISA applications. This preview gives the Court the chance to assess each proposed application before actually ruling on it, and to recommend changes to the government. As noted in the Report of the Director of the Administrative Office of the U.S Courts on Activities of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Courtsfor 2016("2016 FISC Report"), "[iln some instances, the Court examinations resulted in the govermment making material changes to applications and certifications; Deputy Attorney General Rosenstein and Acting Director McCabe June 27, 2017 for example, proffering additional facts to support a required judicial finding of probable cause or to The 2016 FISC Report, which provides annual statistics about the Court's actions in general, states that in 2016 the FISC denied nine applications or certifications, and denied in part or modified 365 orders3 While the 2016 FISC Report provides Congress and the public this information, it does not report "any modifications made by the government to [a proposed] application or certification that it had submitted pursuant to Rule 9(a) while we understand that this may be part of a routine FISC process, it is important for the Committee to understand fully the context of and basis for requests to the FISC related to this particular matter. We have some reason to believe these processes have been used in these investigations. For example, on January 11, 2017, the Guardian reported that: [The FBI applied for a warrant from the foreign intelligence surveillance court (FISA) over the summer in order to monitor four members of the Trump team suspected of irregular contact with Russian officials. The FISA court turned down the application asking FBI counter-intelligence investigators to narrow its focus.5 The next day, the BBC stated that Justice Department attormeys involved in the investigation of Russian election interference submitted a FISA application to the FISC focused on two Russian banks, reporting: Their first application, in June, was rejected outright by the judge. They returned with a more narrowly drawn order in July and were rejected again. There have been subsequent media reports claiming the FBI submitted and received approval of a FISA application in the investigation that was based on the political opposition research dossier. In order for the Committee to asses this situation, please provide the following information by no later than July 11, 2017: 1. Copies of all proposed and all final signed FISA applications submitted to the FISC relating to: Russian interference in the 2016 election; allegations of collusion between people associated with the Trump campaign and Russia; and any known Trump associates regardless of context. 2. Copies of all FISC responses to the above-mentioned applications in which the Court notified the FBI or Justice Department that it would not grant the proposed applications or recommended changes.

NO COLLUSION NO OBSTRUCTION FOR THE HATERS AND THE RADICAL LEFT DEMOCRATS GAME-GIVER

Dr Shaym 18 hours ago You are showing flat Earther levels of denial if you believe there's even the slimmest possibility that Trump will still be convicted of collusion with Russia after today. We're looking at 2,800 subpoenas, nearly 500 search warrants, more than 230 orders for communication records, almost 50 orders authorizing use of pen registers, 13 requests to foreign governments for evidence, and interviews with 500 witnesses over the course of 22 months. The 9/11 attacks weren't investigated this thoroughly. It's over. Trump is drinking your milkshake.
