Since the president is tweeting about the #CarterPage #FISA application, here's a re-up of my thread going through it last night
Also analysis here by @DavidKris, who genuinely knows more about FISA than anyone else.
A thread by @normative on his read of the application from last night
And his longer-form analysis for @nytimes over here nytimes.com/2018/07/21/us/…
Not a thread, but a one tweet summary by @FranTownsend who not only knows a ton about FISA from her career at DOJ, but was reportedly also shortlisted to become Dir FBI after Comey.
Also @carriecordero who is another rare genuine expert on all things FISA
If there are any other serious non-partisan threads or breakdowns of the FISA application add a link to it and I'll add it to this meta-thread.
Late but very welcome addition to this meta-thread of threads with this thread from @aprilfdoss

So many, many problems with the past few weeks. But folks intentionally blurring FBI special background checks--which are always for and whose terms are always set by the WH--from the rest of the FBI's work is going to suuuuuuck so bad for everyone.
Here's the thing: when you say "the FBI is a partisan political organization", that makes it easier for politicians to say "the things it does that I don't like are just partisan, and we should make it do more partisan things I do want, and that's fine because it was always thus"
It's really a White House check, with FBI people on loan to do it. And even that's weird, because for advice and consent, it's really the Senate who should be doing the investigation; they are just outsourcing it to WH who are then getting FBI to do the groundwork.

Nothing says independent impartial judge like writing a badly edited piece for the opinion section of a conservative-aligned newspaper
On the plus side if he is confirmed we can at least rename oral argument "scotus bar fights"
Everything about all of this is terrible

Former NSA Employee Nghia Hoang Pho, 68, Sentenced to 5½ Years in Prison After Pleading Guilty to Willful Removal and Retention of Classified National Defense Information justice.gov/opa/pr/former-…
According to the plea agreement, Pho was a developer at NSA's Tailored Access Operations (TAO) hacking group from April 2006, and began unlawfully removing and retaining TS/SCI material from 2010 thru March 2015 including tools and documents in both hardcopy and digital form.
It has been widely alleged in the media (tho not confirmed or alleged by USG) that the Shadow Brokers tools—repurposed in the 2017 WannaCry mass-ransomware incident—were NSA tools lost as a consequence of Pho's removal of them from NSA to his unsecured internet-connected computer

I guess if you freak out at every weekly pre-scheduled rosenstein meeting at the WH eventually one of them has to be the one where he gets fired
Fun times. Let's do this again next week

So let's get this straight: Rosenstein sarcastically shoots down Andy McCabe's plan to "investigate the president" and that's a pretext to fire Rosenstein? Really? That's where we are?
1. "Come on Andy, what are you going to do? Wiretap the president? Get real"

2. "OMG look he said he was going to wiretap the president!!!!11!1eleventy-one!!"
3. "Stop saying 25th Amendment; that amendment doesn't work like you think it does"

4. OMG they also discussed invoking the 25th Amendment!!!!
