I am asking Republicans to UNIFY, and vote together on the test vote to bring a clean Bill to the floor. We need to stick together when this Bill comes before the House Rules Committee today to keep it CLEAN! I was a victim of the worst and most illegal abuse of FISA in our Nation's History, by Radical Left Lunatics, who lied to the FISA Court to spy on my 2016 Presidential Campaign in their attempt to RIG the Election in favor of Crooked Hillary Clinton. Their use of this instrument in the 2020 Presidential Election was even worse! When the Dirty Cop, James Comey, the failed Head of the FBI, went after me, he was using FISA Title I, the Domestic Collection, not FISA 702, the Foreign Collection, which needs to be extended today. While parts of FISA were illegally and unfortunately used against me in the Democrats' disgraceful Witch Hunt and Attack in the RUSSIA, RUSSIA, RUSSIA Hoax, and perhaps would be used against me in the future, I am willing to risk that as a Citizen in order to do what is right for our Country. Our Military desperately needs FISA 702, and it is one of the reasons we have had such tremendous SUCCESS on the battlefield, both in Venezuela and Iran. Since the first day of my already Historic Second Term, my Administration has worked tirelessly to ensure these FISA Reforms are being aggressively executed at every level of the Executive Branch to keep Americans safe, while protecting our sacred Civil Liberties guaranteed by our Great Constitution. With the ongoing successful Military activities against the Terrorist Iranian Regime, it is more important than ever that we remain vigilant, PROTECT our Homeland, Troops, and Diplomats stationed abroad, and maintain our ability to quickly stop bad actors seeking to cause harm to our People and our Country. The fact is, whether you like FISA or not, it is extremely important to our Military. I have spoken to many Generals about this, and they consider it VITAL. Not one said, even tacitly, that they can do without it, especially right now with our brilliant Military Operation in Iran. Thank you for your attention to this matter!" - "Europe is desperate for Energy, and yet the United Kingdom refuses to open North Sea Oil, one of the greatest fields in the World. Norway sells its North Sea Oil to the U. K., which is better situated on the North Sea for purposes of energy than Norway, should, DRILL, BABY, DRILL!!! It is absolutely crazy that they don't... AND, NO MORE WINDMILLS!" - "Scott Bedke has been a tremendous Lieutenant Governor of Idaho, a place I love and WON BIG in 2016, 2020, and 2024! A very successful Businessman, Cattle Rancher, and Highly Respected Speaker of the Idaho House, prior to becoming a very distinguished Lieutenant Governor, working with the wonderful Governor, Brad Little, and outstanding Senator, Jim Risch, Scott has dedicated his life to serving his Community. Scott is fighting tirelessly to Grow our Economy, Cut Taxes and Regulations, Promote MADE IN THE U.

When does this Corrupt Media Outlet apologize for their LIES and horrible actions against me, my supporters, and our Country itself! HAVE THEY NO SHAME? HAVE THEY NO SENSE OF DECENCY?" Explanation: President Donald Trump publicly calls for Republican unity to pass a clean extension of FISA Section 702, emphasizing its critical role in ongoing U.S. military operations in Iran and Venezuela. He acknowledges past abuses of FISA but prioritizes its continuation for national security and intelligence advantages. Probability assessment: There is a high probability that this call from the President will increase pressure on House Republicans to support the clean FISA 702 extension, as he emphasizes military reliance on the authority and involvement of top Republican lawmakers. The likelihood of passage is moderate to high given the coordinated political push and security framing. Change from previous statements: This post represents continuity in President Trump's approach to intelligence and national security matters, maintaining his critical view of FISA abuses while supporting its operational utility for counterterrorism and military readiness. It does not signal an escalation but reaffirms his established stance.
