If only that were true. Read some search warrant application affidavits sometime. Especially technical ones.

It's different if you live in the Beltway, attend the same cocktail parties as the federal judge you're lying to, and have children who attend the same private schools.

I presume FISA courts are in D.C., so I suppose this could be true. But judges, ADAs, Federal justice employees live in, and work closely together in, hundreds of localities across the USA. No ADA/Agent in any of them ever have stories that start with "A judge found out I (even sorta kinda) lied" that ended well for everyone involved.

DoJ lies all the time. The judges know this. The system does not exist to police itself.

Those are two different systems, so it's not clear what you are trying to say, other than, like, burn it all down man.

In the public courts, DoJ lies with impunity. It's very difficult for defendants to escape with their freedom; holding federal prosecutors responsible for their misdeeds is the last thing on their minds.
In the FISA courts, DoJ lies with impunity. The judges occasionally throw a warrant back and tell them to try harder, but mostly DGAF, because no publicity. Now there is publicity, and suddenly a judge cares...
I am an anarchist, so I oppose all arbitrary authority. If burning will solve these problems, then let's burn. If not, let's do something else.

I was under the impression the judges who are on the court are kept secret?
