Swampers gotta swamp.
Come on President Trump. Cornyn and Graham have got to go! They are anti-MAGA!
Despicable haters of Freedoms.
FISA would be ok if they only were permitted to use it against foreign terrorists...
Cancel it if it can be applied to American citizens!
Cornyn loves 702, but wants to protect Americans.
What a joke Cornyn is, he’s worried about himself being 702ed by the DOJ. But if average Americans are protected from 702 abuse, it just by chance.
Certified card carrying DEEP STATE scum flashing their membership cards in public.
Kinda surprised really.
When the Bush/Cheney crime family was in charge that stuff was exchanged behind closed doors.
The fact they came out in the open is a good sign.
They are worried that change is coming.
They already used it against Trump. If the people can’t elect who they want, we have no republic.
This law enforcement “tool” has made the government a bigger threat to the public than terrorists.
What if in the course of investigating foreign suspects an American is shown to be part of a plot?
Shouldn’t that name be turned to FBI etc for further investigation ?
What about a known foreign terrorist in contact with an American citizen. I don’t think it should be ignored.
Who watches the watchers?
It is obvious the U.S. Senate is totally compromised and is useless for that task.
So, now any objection to a politician’s agenda is “misinformation”.
Make lying to the FISA court a death penalty crime, to be executed by hanging, drawing, and quartering.
The Democrats think half of Americans are domestic terrorists—and FISA became a tool in their toolkit for the past four years.
We have been played.
Look...we communicate now electronically via a variety of devices. Bad guys are communicating with American citizens. It's exactly what FISA was meant for.
How can the US investigate foreign bad actors here is our country??
Or do you think there are no foreign terrorists here plotting to attack us?
They didn’t use it against Trump. They just spied on him....period...
So, you just have to go and throw Biden, Obama, and those who served them into my face? 🙄😎
If there was the slightest chance, I’d agree to modify my position...
“...federal agents “incidentally collect the communications of American citizens, either because they’re perhaps unwittingly talking to someone who might be an agent of a foreign power, and themselves under 702 surveillance” and place them on a “big database.” He said members of the FBI have accessed the database without a warrant....”
If you stop and think about this line of questioning, it is probably one of the big reasons that FBI and the “Deep State” are able to blackmail so very many politicians and business leaders to manipulate them. No one wants to hear or have “leaked to the media” that one is working with an agent of a foreign government against the interests of the USA and American people.
I have to wonder how many WA DC politicians have been blackmailed by the Deep State over working for China, Russia, and Iran because of being caught up in the FISA trap against US citizens?
It is a tough problem. How do you keep the baby while cleaning up the bathwater.
My answer is clean up the bathwater first.
That means that those who abused the FISA system must be identified, indicted, convicted and forced to serve long prison terms.
That would hopefully serve as a deterrent for future bad actors.
Otherwise we are just destroying the village to save it.
