I keep thinking that I’m missing something. Doesn’t the article say that Justice doesn’t like it because it cracks down on them too much (by requiring warrants)?
I think “Justice” doesn’t like the Lee provision where outside counsel represents the recipient of the warrant.
Meanwhile, Sen. Rand Paul just doesn’t like the bill full stop and see’s it as weak sauce.
Both sides calling for the veto so it’ going to happen...
One thing is the three “key” provisions that allow roving wiretaps will NOT be renewed. They will expire and cannot be used much to the disappointment of the FBI and the Deep State! :)
Another thing I just thought of...
Shifty Adam Schiff was trying to slip in a provision to allow the FBI have access to people’s web searches.
Sen. Ron Wyden (D-Ore.) called him out on it much to his credit.
Obviously this won’t happen either once the bill is VETO’d!
So yes this is a major Victory!!
If signers of FISA warrant applications are willing to lie and sully their reputations (such as they are), all the while knowing there's a very low likelihood of them ever being held to account, the process is still worthless.
