Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) on Wednesday explained his apparent flip-flop on a controversial surveillance law, saying that he now favors limited reforms after receiving a classified briefing.
Speaker Johnson was asked by reporters why he changed his opinion on reforming Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA), a controversial surveillance law that is meant to target foreign adversaries, but often surveils Americans’ communications without a warrant.
Johnson this week came out against a warrant requirement for Section 702 and moved not to allow an amendment that would have barred intelligence and law enforcement agencies from purchasing Americans’ private information through third-party data brokers. This is considered a run around the Fourth Amendment protection against warrantless searches.

Even worse, the gullible fool may just believe what they say. Blackmail may not be needed.
It’s very likely that hundreds of thousands of Muslims that immigrate to America are actually filthy spies for HAMAS, Hezbollah and Iran.
Johnson does not want to come right out and say he only wants warrantless surveillance on these filthy “American” Islamist. What he should be doing is preventing Muslims from immigrating to the USA in the first place, period.
But thanks to Obama, we are stuck with these primitive Mohammedan savages, and now need to monitor them.
I would ask the AHs briefing - if you rely upon this authority so much to protect the United States, how come you haven’t hammered into the ground those who threaten the continued possession of this vital power by abusing it for domestic political purposes and other criminal agendae. When you nail those guys to fenceposts, and I mean all of them, every single psychopathic one of them, including Schumer and Shifty, then we can maybe have an adult conversation. Until then, bye bye.
So, who gave the keynote speech? Colin Powell?
Ah, the excuses.
Yes, you have to give up your Constitutional rights.
No, we aren’t going to tell you why, because “It’s Classified”
It also so happens that it helps bolster Deep State budgets, because, you know, “It’s Classified”.
Maybe somebody needs to break into Joe Bidens garage and get to the bottom of this.
Or, he caved under their threats.
Remember what Schumer said about the intel agencies. They can get you anyways from Sunday.
FISA is unconstitutional and should totally be abolished. Anything that goes against the Constitution (that’s all fed agencies also) needs to be abolished. FISA is commie tyranny. LNL
Reminiscent of Trey Gowdy’s FBI briefing (2018) (Russian Hoax)

“Rep. Trey Gowdy (R-SC), told Fox News on Tuesday that after attending the President Trump-mandated classified Justice Department briefing last week, he’s “convinced” the FBI acted correctly in deploying an informant to meet with Trump campaign officials.
“I am even more convinced that the FBI did exactly what my fellow citizens would want them to do when they got the information they got and that it has nothing to do with Trump,” he said Tuesday evening.”
You may elect and select, but we decide what you will see.
F U Johnson.
Probably more likely they had a little closed door meeting laying out the details of what kind of dirt they have on Mike Johnson.
Slimeball.
Remember this.
Do NOT re-elected or support this man in the future.
***He is NOT a Constitutionalist.***
“The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.”
He is sworn in to defend this, and he violated it. Another RINO and conservative traitor.
There are two things you don’t F with: The Bible and the US Constitution. You mess with those, and I don’t care how pretty your hair is, how well your speech is written, or what ivy league school you went to and what your GPA was.
This man has just made himself political driftwood. Another terd that just floats with the bureaucratic / establishment current.
What did NTG say, blackmail?
Looks like it's confirmed.
It’s more like they showed Johnson what they had on him, and he better vote their way.
They surely threw a lot of numbers at him and pretended they stopped this many spies, that many terrorist, bla bla bla.
To bad, there is a Title III which can legally do these things.
To bad most of these numbers are speculative in nature.
He probably knew all along he was going to do this anyway.
First pretend to be conservative, then cave in when you hear the secret briefings and pretend like that changed your mind.
“I have to do this, for our national security.”
It’s a flip-flop intended to make him look reasonable, like some convincing argument changed his mind... I’m sure the bureaucracy/establishment will reward him.
Pure BS!
Those spy powers are used against political oponents more frequently than against our enemies abroad...
Rallies all around the Nation promoting and calling for the total destruction of this country do not need “spy powers”...
There are 60,000,000 migrant invaders sucking the economy dry and committing crimes from drunk driving, rape, random stabbing, and drug sales...
There are communist politicians, moslem leaders, and university administrations promoting destruction of this Nation...
All this is in open view... No spying is required to resolve and eliminate these problems...
Spying is only required in order to keep the serfs under control, and punished if they rattle their chains... (Just ask the J6 prisoners)
Johnson is gone. His allegiance is to those checks that Lindsey Graham and Mitch get.
He’ll oppose conservatives every time. Done deal
No one is above the law, except Hunter, Joe, Hillary, Comey, Pence, Strzok…..
Louisiana loves their moderate Republicans.
