These are equivalent? What kind of warrant does the CCP have to get before they surveil someone?

back in 2018, DOJ deputy AG Rod Rosenstein testified under oath to Congress that when he signed the authorization for the FISA warrant against Carter Page in 2017, that it was rock solid because every FISA warrant "package" is 250 pages long and is meticulously combed through by a small army of DOJ attorneys.

then last year winter 2019, after the DOJ OIG reported that every FISA warrant submitted by FBI dating back to 2013 was riddled with multiple legal errors that should have invalidated those warrants, Rod Rosenstein once again was summoned to explain himself to Congress.

Rosenstein told Congress the reason he signed the 4 FISA warrants extending NSA/FBI/CIA surveillance of Carter Page was because he didnt read the warrants, he just trusted DOJ and FBI and blindly signed away.

that is how America ends up just like China. we dont even question the system.

So you're saying that not every US search warrant received enough scrutiny?

What kind of warrant does the CCP have to get before they surveil someone? Since you think their system is equivalent, please explain why you think CCP warrants receive an equivalent amount of scrutiny.
