More FISA Orders Were Denied During President Trump's First Year in Office Than in the Court's 40-Year History (zdnet.com)
In its first year, the Trump administration kept one little-known courtroom in the capital busy. From a report: A secretive Washington DC-based court that oversees the US government's foreign spy programs denied more surveillance orders during President Donald Trump's first year than in the court's 40-year history, according to newly released figures. Annual data published Wednesday by the US Courts shows that the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance (FISA) Court last year denied 26 applications in full, and 50 applications in part. That's compared to 21 orders between when the court was first formed in 1978 and President Barack Obama's final year in office in 2016.

Bullshit alarm is going off due to being aligned w/ mainstream media, and there's important missing information. If they say Obama refused 21, and Trump has said fsck off to 26, that doesn't tell us anything. We need to at minimum know the percentages. My suspicion is that number of FISA orders has been increased substantially. To have only half a dozen more "um, no" responses with tons more orders would make Trump look good. Therefore, it would make sense biased media sources would conveniently leave that context out.
Congratulations on being tricked by the media... Again...
Unfortunately for your narrative, criminal charges for several high ranking Democrats are still coming, despite all of your lying, sniveling, squirming bullshit.
