1. Mike Lee:

   Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., supports the legislation and had hoped to pass it last Thursday, but Mitch McConnell was forced to delay consideration past the expiration date after Mike Lee, R-Utah, and two other senators Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., and Ron Wyden said they would object. The House legislation, negotiated by White House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Republican leader Kevin McCarthy, would renew several provisions the FBI sees as vital to fighting terrorism but also aim to ensure stricter oversight of how the bureau conducts surveillance. PAUL : MY FISA AMENDMENT WILL KEEP Mike Lee had proposed a deal on the Senate floor Thursday extension of the current authorities if the Senate would consider several amendments to the White House bill that would further limit them. Senate Intelligence Committee Chairman Richard Burr, speaking on the floor for Mitch McConnell, objected to that deal, saying the Senate should instead pass the House bill. Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., has pushed for FISA reforms. ( AP Photo/J. Scott Applewhite) Were not a rubberstamp for the House of Representatives, were certainly not a rubber stamp for the Deep State.

2. Carter Page:

   There have been various reports [about FISA documents and FBI surveillance of him], but I was so happy to hear that further confirmation is now being revealed. It shows how low the Clinton/Obama regime went to destroy our democracy and suppress dissidents who did not fully support their failed foreign policy. It will be interesting to see what comes out when the unjustified basis for those FISA requests are more fully disclosed over time, including potentially the Dodgy Dossier -- a document that clearly is false evidence, which could represent yet another potential crime.

3. Senate Judiciary Committee chairman:

   I'm going to let Bob Mueller do Bob Mueller job and we'll see what Bob Mueller finds, but Mueller's not in charge of looking at the FISA warrant application, Bob Mueller's not in charge of overseeing the FBI. What they did during the 2016 election on behalf of Clinton appalls me.

4. David Kris:

   FISA applications are typically quite long -- theyre big enough that you dont want to drop one on your foot, they contain a lot of information and detail, because the statute is quite exacting in what it requires the government to establish to get the warrant granted.

5. House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy:

   In moving forward today, it won't be signed into law. The President has questions, the attorney general has questions, since the time we had passed the bill in the The House, there has been more information coming forward with the FISA court being used in processes it shouldn't have been.
