The American Civil Liberties Union has uncovered memos that show the National Security Agency (NSA) and FBI “violated specific civil liberty protections during the Obama administration by improperly searching and disseminating raw intelligence on Americans or failing to promptly delete unauthorized intercepts,” as reported by The Hill on Tuesday. The memos, which The Hill was able to review, were obtained through a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request by the ACLU. They cover compliance with privacy rules between 2009 and 2016. Equivalent assessments of the Trump administration’s first year will not be prepared until next spring.
NSA spokesman Michael Halbig is quoted arguing that the 90-plus incidents documented by the memos represent a small fraction of the hundreds of thousands of phones and email addresses monitored under the FISA Section 702 warrantless surveillance program – an argument that may not be all that comforting to privacy advocates. Halbig also said the violations described by the memos are proof that the NSA’s compliance program is working.

Yeah? So what? It was the Obama admin spying on citizens. Good luck getting DoJ to pursue even one indictment let alone 90 or so.
“the 90-plus incidents documented by the memos represent a small fraction”
And those 90 just happen to be in political opposition to the sitting administration.
Hey, “American Civil Liberties Union”, when are ya going to sue Obama, since YOU put yourselves as ‘the American civil liberties watchdog’??
Time to put up or shut up.
Don’t forget “It was the fault of a video.. . . .” along with “Not a smidgen of corruption . . . .”

If the ACLU had a gift shop all they would sell would be broken clocks.
So NOW they blame Obozo and his gang of thugs.
Where the hell were they for 8 years?....................
Oh, the force is rich and deep with this one. Shaking my head.
Now that Obambi is gone, they’ll probably sue “The Justice Department” as an entity.
Drag the Trump Team into lawsuits for what Chief Imposter did while in-residence at The White Hut.
They ain’t played yet with “The Donald”.
Oh Boy, are THEY gonna get a jolt up their wazoos.

How convenient they tell us this now.
Don’t think the ACLU didn’t know this all along.
Somebody needs to go to prison for this.
The ACLU attacking a fellow communist?
They must be scared of something. But what?
Yeah, and our illustrious, ever-elusive AG will get right on investigating that. Suuuuuuuuuuuuure.
