Extrapolating and/or parsing...
If 3000 is a few times, then they must be checking a vast amount of people overall in order to make 3000 erroneous wiretaps/email scans/ data mining excursions appear to be miniscule in comparison.

In one of the documents, agency personnel are instructed to remove details and substitute more generic language in reports to the Justice Department and the Office of the Director of National Intelligence. They're all liars.

"Patriot" OR "Traitor"? Seriously?? Here's a whole thread where FReepers were fighting having serious discussions about that question.

ANY whistleblower who exposes the systematic abuse of the USCON and 0buma's Regime is a "Patriot" to me.

WaPo reports it, with a dismissive slant on multiple occasions = probable spin management to immunize a revelation that was due to come out anyway.
An old tactic from the Clinton Machine days.

I guess Prez Snoop Dog was playing cards with Reggie. One things for sure he’s dealing the BS from the bottom of the deck.

- There is only one person that could give that order -
- Remember - if you dispute this - you are a filthy racist
and you will be banned for life from working as a rodeo clown -

And this is what is costing the “conservative” movement all of its credibility. All of it.
When people justify the breaking of the law by the government, be it for “security” or convenience, they become traitors to the US Constitution.

Remembering that were it not for Edward Snowden blowing the whistle, there would’ve been NO discovery of this.

It’s kinda ugly how all this played out, but I am soooo thankful that Snowden finally validated what many already knew yet vilified when spoken of.
