Unlawful FISA Spying Widespread Under Obama Administration
The Epoch Times ^ | March 15, 2018 | Jasper Fakkert

Relaxation of privacy policies paved the way for FBI and NSA to spy on Americans

The FBI and the National Security Agency (NSA), under the Obama administration, committed numerous violations of procedures intended to safeguard Americans’ personal data and communications collected under Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA).

Under the section, which was part of amendments to FISA passed in 2008 under President George W. Bush, the intelligence community has broad powers to collect internet and telephone data to spy on foreign nationals.

Procedures to protect Americans’ data collected under the program were weakened under President Barack Obama in 2011, allowing the NSA to search through Americans’ data using their names. Previously, these types of searches, known as “queries using United States person identifiers,” were prohibited.

Think ahead six months from now after more have been forced out for FISA abuse than have been over the previous six months for sex abuse.

Everything we implement should be considered duly as an implement to benefit and to harm. If it’s ability to harm is equal to or greater than its benefit, it should never be implemented. The enemy will ALWAYS use our tools against us if given the opportunity.

What you are saying is very true. Biggest reason to oppose those terrible Florida gun grabber laws.

Imagine those gun confiscation laws in the hands of RATS. The way Florida is going, that may be sooner rather than later.

A feel good law on the spur of the moment with horrible repercussions.

I've been saying for YEARS that Obama was spying on EVERYONE, including ALL of Congress, SCOTUS, everyone within our alphabet agencies, politicians, private citizens.. DID I LEAVE ANYONE OUT?

Between the AWAN BROS. and ILLEGAL FISA ACTIVITIES, so-called 'good people' got turned by Obama such as JOHN ROBERTS with his dreadful Obamacare decision. And all of the shocking court decisions? Chalk that up to Team Obama having DIRT on judges and threatening them.. What about 'good guy' Sessions? WHAT DOES THE DEEP STATE HAVE ON HIM? Something embarrassing in his past? THEY HAVE HIM BY THE BALLS, OBVIOUSLY. He has been neutered.

ALL of the FISA court judges BELONG IN PRISON. They are all complicit in the attempted COUP by the Deep State!

I’d like to see it come out that Obama spied on Romney’s campaign in 2012. That would be the straw that broke the camel’s back for a lot of people because it would have nothing to do with Trump or Russia. It would just be straight up abuse of power.

Exactly what I would have expected an ineligible usurper to do.

There were very good reasons for the founders to require someone who was naturally an American because they could not be anything else.

Well....if they were spying on Trump, they were (ahem), just trying to save America.

The coup happened on Usurpation Day, January 20, 2009.

Both parties colluded to violate the Constitution.
Obama is not a natural born citizen.

Eric Holder told people that they only need to follow the laws they feel like following.

...the intelligence community has broad powers to collect internet and telephone data to spy on foreign nationals.

Strikeout what thou wilt.

You are correct rarestia. Our government employees (our servants) make too many laws “to protect us” then use those laws against us.

These People attempted a Coup!

We the People shall not Rest until they are all investigated and tried for sedition and treason – nothing less – they covered up the Clinton Crimes and then tried to destroy the President-elect and our current President Donald Trump. They are still in the process of attempting a Coup! They have to be stopped!

Exactly. Except they didn’t need no stinkin FISA warrants. They went to the FISC with Trump, to cover their asses(make it all legal like) in case they found something to use against him.

I agree with you though that “all of the FISA court judges BELONG IN PRISON.”

Thank you. Spread the word! A lot of people around here don't know how serious this is. Some are retired folks and all they watch, habit from the old days, is the "nightly news" on the networks, CNN or even MSNBC. Red Pill them! (Red Pill = Knowledge, freedom, adversity and the brutal truth of reality.)
