What if the collection point is in England, an ECHELON collection point. Then the intercept is foreign as long as it isn’t located in England, correct eh? Gets right around that little issue.

The FBI has twice in recent times actually invaded a Congressional office without the approval of the Speaker of the House. In both cases the agents got a court to provide a warrant.

In neither case did the House exercise its authority and punish the FBI agents, and given limited resources on Capitol Hill to imprison someone, there's really only one thing they could do, and they didn't do that, and they didn't do anything to those agents.

I said that down the road other federal cops will see how weak Congress is and take advantage of it, and so here we are.

Wrong. The NSA listens to ALL electronic communications, you idiot. More disinformation by the guilty. None of our government agencies give a damn whether electronic intelligence gathering is done legally or not.

It means there was an active cell within the NSA... he wasn’t working alone...

Is that it?

To eaves drop is to listen in real-time. So of course no agents are listening in real-time. That's the job of the computers. What the agents can do after the fact is access the zingabytes of private phone conversations that are gathered real-time by computer and then stored on the zygabyte servers.

So tired of the lies.

In trying to sell this to the American people, they overlook one important fact. We can no longer trust our government with any information. They have betrayed us and used the powerful IRS to attack Conservatives because of their beliefs. Now they say, “Trust me?”

My odds are better with a terrorist.

Bottom line is this... The NSA used tax payer dollars to create systems to spy on the very tax payers that funded it. Of course they kept the capability of these systems secret in order to create laws that would envelop those capabilities and the knowledge of their existence secret. Its like the movie the sting... The horse race has already been run, meanwhile the wiseguys are using our money to fund the rip off.... Think its time to stop talking and start ....

The statement that a single analyst can eavesdrop on domestic communications without proper legal authorization is incorrect.

Does "proper legal authorization" mean a warrant served according to due process? If not, then it's still Tyrannical, whether it takes one analyst or ten.

As Eddie Snowden might say.”I ain’t no empty suit. I am an IT guy. I learned to hack around systems before I ever got a paycheck. I don’t need no stinkin’ legal authorization. Booz-Allen takes care of business by cashing the checks for their contracting fees and they leave the IT business to those who understand the IT protocols such as twenty nine year old high school dropouts like me.”

I’d like to hear the conversation between Tim Russert and Scooter Libbey.

Yes, but this might have more twists and turns than we originally thought...

"served" isn't necessarily part of the equation ~ they might have to get a warrant, but if you've flown the coup that doesn't prevent them from doing the search and seizure.

There are people who imagine that's the case though so they run from the process server ~
