Is there a link?
It was Admiral Mike Rogers who as head of the NSA (and one of the apparently few good guys in the Trump Russia-gate story) who shut down “contractor” mining and abuse of these section 702 rules.
The DNC and FBI simply had “contractors” do the mining of data on Trump under this 702 authorization. Rogers then warned Trump he was being illegally spied upon. Trump literally moved his campaign headquarters to his NJ golf club the next day. The filthy deep-state hacks Clapper and Brennan wanted to go after Rogers for that.
It was after that the FBI then went on the abuse of FISA route to continue spying on Trump.
Anyone concerned about the Constitution would demand radical changes to this Section 702 law.
Republicans should focus on reducing the size of government.
Trump signed the same one in 2018, even if he said it was different.
most likely used to spy on americans. cuz they have no idea what goes on in any other country.
When they say "terrorism," they mean people like the J6 protesters.
and maybe next they can work on not lying to the FISA court to get a warrant to listen to innocent people’s communications…
According to a declassified FISA court opinion this year, the FBI committed FISA violations 278,000 times in recent years, including on people believed to be connected to violent George Floyd protests and the Capitol riot.

A somewhat different take on this reauthorization:
Dump it!
The Huns are already within our borders...
“U.S. Intelligence” is a contradiction in terms...
The smartest guy in government, elected & unelected, is Joe Biden...
Isn’t that something to be proud of?
Were there ever any consequences for the people that lied to the FISA court to get a warrant, and later used that warrant to spy on then candidate Donald J. Trump?
Repeal the Patriot Act!!!
Frankly, I am against most of the FISA as updated and administered by the secret FISC. It has mainly been used to spy on Americans for reasons other than communication with foreign nationals, IMO and more of a government political tool to go after those Americans not considered friendly to the administration. Let it lapse. ICs are no better than any other part of LE. If they have reason to believe something funny is going on then fully document it and get a warrant.
I’m old enough to remember when reporters were 100% against spying on Americans. But then Obama happened…
Haha!
Republican... a Trump supporter
Democrat... a staunch supporter of civil liberty
Republican... a Trump supporter
This is just more smoke being blown up our a$$€$.
The nsa has a HUGE data center in Colorado that records EVERYTHING and they look at what they want, when they want to. And take it from there.
Forget all the hi tech stuff. Just reauthorize Fang Fang. You know it hasn’t stopped.
There, fixed it.
