It’s pretty obvious that your TDS doesn’t allow you to document something in an honest way. You’re an absolute clown.

Just a few tidbits your “forgot”’to leave out in your attempt to pin this on Pres Trump, you moron:

In order to detect and prevent attacks before they happen, we must be able to intercept the communications of FOREIGN TARGETS who are reasonably believed to possess foreign intelligence information. Section 702 provides the necessary authority, and it has proven to be among the Nation’s most effective foreign intelligence tools.

Section 702 provides robust privacy protections for American citizens, and most importantly prohibits the Government from using it to target Americans and persons located in the United States.

Only foreigners located abroad may be targeted for surveillance under section 702. While every court to have considered section 702 has found it to be legal and consistent with the Fourth Amendment to the Constitution, the Act establishes additional procedures to further protect the privacy of Americans whose communications are incidentally collected under section 702

Among these is a new requirement that in a predicated criminal investigation—an investigation with an elevated factual foundation—the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) apply for and obtain an order from the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court before accessing the contents of section 702—acquired communications that were retrieved using certain United States person “query” terms.

Your attempt to manipulate what was said is pretty f**king pathetic, but the TDS is overwhelming with you and you can’t help it.

Absolutely pathetic.

First you challenge the fact that Trump signed FISA Section 702 into law. When I provide you Trump’s actual signing statement from Trump White House site, you go launch into a personal attack. Typicall

The FISA Courts are star chambers. Warrants are handed out like candy. The FISA warrants sweep up Americans and their communications .

From Senator Rand Paul

“…once again, the intelligence agencies that ignore the constraints on their power will go unaddressed and unpunished. And the warrantless surveillance of Americans, in violation of the Bill of Rights, will continue. “Using 702, Americans’ communications content and metadata is inevitably swept up and kept in government databases without a warrant. Law enforcement agencies then access Americans’ communications without a warrant.

“In other words, your texts, emails, and phone calls are collected and stored in a government database without a warrant and then searched by government law enforcement without a warrant.” … “Those who make the lazy and predictable argument that government is your only shield from threats always fail to mention that government itself often is the threat. “I think it is high time we quit letting fear overrun our constitutional duty. The Members of this body should do themselves the honor of standing by their oath to the Constitution.
