The House on Thursday reauthorized a surveillance program used by the country’s intelligence agencies to spy on foreigners but voted against limiting it.

I want 3 things on this:
1. 5 year mandatory minimum sentence for using gathered communication’s for political or personal reasons.
2. “Team Sedition” public hangings. All of them. Comey, Brennan, Clapper, Yates, McCabe,Strzok, Ohr, Ohr, etc. All of them.

No American’s liberties are secure as long as the NSA and the CIA exist—it is just that simple.
IMO all Kabuki theater.
This is like saying “We’ll take pictures of you in your bedroom, but we won’t peek at them unless we really, really have to.”
