NSA Reports Data Deletion
National Security Agency | Central Security Service ^ | June 28, 2018 | none stated

Posted on 07/08/2018 3:09:14 PM PDT by Texas Fossil

Consistent with NSA’s core values of respect for the law, accountability, integrity, and transparency we are making public notice that on May 23, 2018, NSA began deleting all call detail records (CDRs) acquired since 2015 under Title V of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA)

The Government relies on Title V of FISA to obtain CDRs, which do not include the content of any calls. In accordance with this law, the Government obtains these CDRs, following a specific court-authorized process.

NSA is deleting the CDRs because several months ago NSA analysts noted technical irregularities in some data received from telecommunications service providers. These irregularities also resulted in the production to NSA of some CDRs that NSA was not authorized to receive. Because it was infeasible to identify and isolate properly produced data, NSA concluded that it should not use any of the CDRs. Consequently, NSA, in consultation with the Department of Justice and the Office of the Director of National Intelligence, decided that the appropriate course of action was to delete all CDRs. NSA notified the Congressional Oversight Committees, the Privacy and Civil Liberties Oversight Board, and the Department of Justice of this decision. The Department of Justice, in turn, notified the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court. The root cause of the problem has since been addressed for future CDR acquisitions, and NSA has reviewed and revalidated its intelligence reporting to ensure that the reports were based on properly received CDRs.

NSA is roughly 1/3 military. Outgoing DIRNSA was Admiral Rogers, I didn’t pay any attention as to who (What service!) replaced him. By statute the NSA DIRNSA must be military.

Thank you. I did not know that. I do know some Navy personnel who worked there.

Trump could have easily stopped this and turned it into a noisy “destruction of evidence” issue related to the Special Prosecutor and to the political corruption at the DOJ and FBI.

Instead, Trump does nothing.

While I’m at it...

Judicial Watch and Congress have filed at least a dozen requests for documents from the DOJ and FBI, which the agencies completely ignore.

Trump could release every one of those documents tomorrow morning.

Instead, he does nothing.

I expect he will do so in October when Mueller attempts his Midterm October Surprise.
