Different factions of the police state arguing with each other.

Where are the FISA judges outraged over being lied to?

Sunshine Week is actually a thing. This year it is March 10-16.

Why only a week long?

Look at the things that last a month.

FISA abuse was totally predictable and inevitable.

Congress needs to stop pretending otherwise.

End it.

“The Drug Enforcement Administration collected massive amounts of telephone records for 20 years before the program was shuttered.”

It was never shuttered... It never stopped. Just the name of the operation was changed and it was handed off to other agencies.

That is true.

It is also true that the gov purchases commercially available marketing data from private companies and uses it for their purposes, the same as retailers and advertisers target and tailor advertising on apps and websites. Whether or not the phone service providers or smartphone manufacturers are cooperative, the info is available on the market.

Edward Snowden is entitled to some kind of special award.
Maybe the Snowden medal will be announced some day.
A special honor for whistleblowers.
What Mr. Snowden did sure took a lot of guts; maybe even some planning.
But I almost wonder if the whole thing was some kind of CIA head-fake triple-cross. There are so many wrinkles and rabbit-holes to everything that happens these days.

The Drug Enforcement Administration collected massive amounts of telephone records for 20 years before the program was shuttered amid the Edward Snowden revelations in 2013.

DEA?? It's a pack of effing lies. With millions entering illegally, many of which are infected with God knows what, with killer Fentanyl pouring across the border by the ton, who out there thinks those in this government gives two shits about the welfare of Americans?

Anyone?

None of you people understand - the intel op taking over the US, bringing in all the migrants to destroy everything in a Sampson option for 2024, Havana’d a cabinet level official in Trump’s administration in his home. It hit two high level staffers on White House grounds, and Secret Service was powerless. The entire Miami field office of the FBI is being Havana’d by it in their homes, which means family members are likely getting splash-back, and FBI can’t do anything. I am getting hit for my website right now.

What is happening is so much bigger than anyone can imagine.
