National Security Agency to release records about Americans illegally spied on by FBI

Law Flog ^ | June 17, 2021 | Ty Clevenger

[Dr. Franklin]

As you may recall, Admiral Mike Rogers tried to shut down FBI access to the NSA database in 2016 (while he was serving as NSA director) after learning that FBI contractors were illegally searching the database. Over at The Conservative Treehouse, Sundance has built a solid case that FBI contractors were exploiting the NSA database for opposition research on political enemies (also see here and here and here). One of the contractors with access to the NSA database, for example, appears to be Fusion GPS, which helped Christopher Steele produce the infamous “Russian collusion” dossier.

...

Given the history of animosity between the FBI and NSA over misuse of the database, I cannot help but wonder whether the NSA is taking a shot at the FBI by preemptively producing the records that the FBI refused to produce, i.e., records of the FBI’s ongoing illegal surveillance of U.S. citizens. The FBI is downright dangerous, and perhaps some patriots at the NSA recognize that. Consider, for example, the growing evidence that the FBI not only infiltrated but helped orchestrate the January 6, 2021 “insurrection” at the U.S. Capitol.

In a separate FOIA request, I have asked for records of illegal surveillance dating back to the beginning of the Obama Administration. It is widely known that the Obama Administration used government resources to spy on the Trump campaign, but sources have told me for several years that Obama & Co. were spying on every candidate in the 2016 election, from Ted Cruz to Bernie Sanders, all for the purpose of helping Hillary Clinton. If you go all the way back to 2008, the number of Americans illegally surveilled could be far higher than 16,000.

[Dr. Franklin]

In short, Clevenger, (with the Transparency Project), made a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request to the FBI for records of domestic surveillance. The FBI replied that it would take decades to provide the records. The NSA, however, responded much more favorably and agreed to process the request. The NSA's response indicates that it is in disagreement with the FBI and DOJ, who are in delay mode. Could the the NSA now be blowing the whistle on the Deep State? Does the NSA remain loyal to Trump, and not the pretender?

unCivil war in the deep state.

Very discouraging to know the extent of the corruption that exists within the DOJ/FBI.

Prayers, and I mean Prayers!!!, that some capable, authorized faction can help to set things straight.

Sharyl Attkisson has personal experience with FBI spying.

FBI/DOJ are corrupt. But I wouldn’t trust the NSA, either. Interagency squabbles may cause one agency to expose another. Briefly. But it is likely that they will close ranks before too much info is released.

[Bullish]

Going forward all feckless do-nothings should be called Durhams.

[Diogenesis]

Americans want the list of conservatives, vets, and homeless
beheaded by FBI, Comey, Obama, and FEMA.

NOW. How many have they guillotined
in Comey’s and Obama’s TERRROR TESTS???

[Joe Boucher]

I remember how I was told how the people in the FBI were the best of the best.
Seems that is opposite of the truth.
Bunch of biased crappola they be.

Is this an interagency squabble, or a sign of dissent by an NSA whose loyalty isn't to the Biden regime? It might prove that the letter by the 124 "Flag Officers 4 America" recently has more support in the U.S. military than meets the eye. I see this as a good sign. Without the consent of the governed, no court ruling, or certification, has any real value.

I failed to see the “to release” part in this article. He requested. Big deal.

Yes, you failed to see that the NSA upheld his appeal from the initial denial. The letter states that the request was returned to the FOIA office for processing the release of documents. See the letter here:

So they have been ordered to release.

This can take years.

Article makes it sound imminent.
