The original purpose, of course, was to monitor foreign nationals and corporations that might engage in illegal activities. Nevertheless, modifications made after the 9/11 attacks the system opened the system to charges of domestic spying. In addition, it opened the door for even greater abuse in these secret courts.

This is the type of abuse demonstrated within the Obama Administration in a vain attempt by the IRS to silence the Tea Party movement. Starting in 2008, the Obama Administration showed, beyond denial, that it was willing to use the executive branch as a weapon. This administration viewed the Bill of Rights as too limiting and Obama actually called it a list of negative right, which did not say what the government had to do. This twisting of The Constitution showed a total disrespect for the true owners of the country, the citizens. This was a total betrayal of his oath of office.
Since 2016, the Democrat Party put the nation through three years of attacks against a President in what many are calling a silent coup attempt. This started on the day of his election. Starting with the previous administration, it is accused and there is public evidence that government agencies worked against his election attempt and interfered with his Constitutional mandated authority once he entered office. Once the Democrats took control of the House of Representatives, they immediately began both overt and covert impeachment inquiries.

This episode opened a major breach in the trust that is required for the courts and law enforcement agencies to protect and defend the nation. By lying to the courts and obtaining warrants to spy on the Trump campaign using faked documents they have brought into question the existence of the FISA court, and in some cases the intelligence community, as a whole.
Surveillance warrants to spy on Carter Page violate everything Americans expect from those in power. To head of future abuses and stop violations of the basic trust, valid questions require answers. In addition, safety guards and fixes put into place to head off possible future abuses. Nevertheless, people run these courts and people are not perfect, which could necessitate elimination of a system designed to protect us from foreign spying.
In the ultimate betrayal of the American people, those in government have put the nation at risk of attack in a desperate attempt to hold their failing grasp of power. Their selfish desire to defeat a President lawfully elected they are willing to damage the nation beyond repair. To regain any semblance of justice those involved should not walk away unpunished. Examples of what happens when you put personal power ahead of the life and liberty of our nation are not subject to reward.
