Trump nominates NSA 'backdoor search' defender to lead privacy board
Washington Examiner ^ | August 31

President Trump is moving to revive the watchdog agency that oversees major surveillance programs, but some privacy advocates see his pick to lead it as overly deferential to the intelligence community.

Adam Klein, nominated Friday to serve as chairman of the Privacy and Civil Liberties Oversight Board, has taken sides in one of the biggest policy debates this year: whether authorities need a warrant to search American communications collected "incidentally" under Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act, which expires later this year unless Congress acts.

More crap of the crap that only works if Trump is stupid. I don’t think he’s as stupid as this crap of the crap makes him out to be.

In other words #fakenews

I agree. Instead of Trump draining the swamp, the swamp has him up to his neck in quicksand, and he’s taking swamp creatures left and right on face value, having no one unconnected to the swamp doing any real vetting for him.

Maybe that’s why Diane Feinstein said recently that Trump “could BECOME a good president” (yea, like once all their Dim swamp creatures have him surrounded as part of his own team).
