clearly, as it can be said: judges do not independently research the contents of the warrant
REP. GOWDY: No. I-- I-- the judges are only as good as what's put in front of them. Judges don't do independent research. So, you're looking at--
MARGARET BRENNAN: Well, this is an --
REP. GOWDY: -- this stack of paper.
MARGARET BRENNAN: -- an extensive process from-- from what I'm told. I mean, this isn't just something people sign off on quickly. It's, you know, a sizable application with, as you said, multi-part information that's submitted.
REP. GOWDY: But that's true for --
MARGARET BRENNAN: Were the judges not doing their jobs?
REP. GOWDY: No, I think they were. I mean, judges signed Title 3 applications all the time. They sign search warrants. They sign arrest warrants. There's a reason the affiant swears to the truthfulness of the underlying information.
Judges can't then go research and say, "Well, gosh I wonder if Chris Steele knew this all himself or -- wonder if he was relying on hearsay from sub-sources in Russia?" That's not the judge's job. It is the FBI and DOJ's job to present full, credible information to the court. So, I don't-- look, I'll never miss a chance to blame judges if I can, because I was a former litigator. There's nothing judges can do about information that is not presented to them.
