While most of America’s political attention was enthralled with President Donald Trump’s scornful rebuke of former BFF Steve Bannon, House Republican leaders dropped a pretty heavy bomb in the war on freedom with the scheduling of a hearing and possible vote on a new FISA bill. The House Rules Committee is going to meet this week on the new FISA rules, which were slipped into a bill it has absolutely nothing to do with. It’s pretty smart of House leadership to sneak the announcement out on a late Friday afternoon, but mass surveillance watchdogs still raised awareness on what was going on.

702 is an abomination to tje constitution. People that support 702 are enemies of the people.

They are doing it this week to have a vote before the IG report comes out because they know once Bami’s Crew abuse of FISA becomes public they will have a hard time pushing this without major push back.

Scumsucking Sewer dwellers!

After the Intelligence Community used 702 to surveil Donald Trump without a warrant, I can't see how this can pass. Wouldn't all Republicans vote against it? Wouldn't President Trump veto it?

The Intelligence Community must have dirt on everyone in Washington. There's no other explanation on why this bill passes.

Good insight.I am convinced you are right!!

Everyone in the District of Corruption is complicit in the Kenyanesian Usurpation.

That violation of the Constitution by BOTH parties is what lead to all the other crimes.

[raiderboy]

&02 is blatantly unconstitutional usurpation of our rights as citizens. It should not be tolerated.

Obama’s administration, including Hillary and her minions, abused this law that was passed nominally to protect Americans after an attack on America. They used this law to try to direct who sits in the White House, and in an attempt to unseat a duly elected President. They spit in the eye of America, using a law passed in response to the death of Americans.

That said, it is precisely because we cannot trust people in government to do the right thing that we cannot have laws like this without much, much more oversight, and many more levels of safeguards against abuse. I would favor making it a capital offense to use the NSA or any other government intelligence agency for political purposes.

Raise hell or they will screw us again. Thank God for Snowden and Assange!!

You hate the people of Nevada?

The IG has only announced a review of the Clinton emails and leaks.

[datura]

Scaffolds and nooses come to mind for some reason.

[Lopeover]

They should not renew the current bill.

[vooch]

yup - it’s all about blackmailing the politicians and the powerful

It s clear that the FISA System has been corrupted by the Deep State and needs to be radically changed as the DOJ and appointed judges were all corrupted by the process.

The 15th of this Month the IG is supposed to issue a summary of their Investigation-Full report due in March into the FISA court, FBI, DOJ abuses of NSA spying related to the Russia/Trump Collusion crap. I also think the unmasking of US Persons by Obama Admin. Agencies is in this.
