The Transparency Project, a Texas nonprofit, filed a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request through their attorney, Ty Clevenger. The FOIA request sought classified information about the FBI’s illegal tactics and search inquiries into intelligence databases. After acquiring the information, U.S. District Judge James Boasberg determined that the FBI violated the government’s rules for using foreign intelligence information. The FBI pleaded in court that the 16,000 searches “were reasonably likely to return foreign intelligence information or evidence of a crime.” The judge found the FBI’s position “unsupportable.” He ruled that the FBI was justified in just seven of their searches, but the remaining 15,993 searches violated the rules set forth by the federal government.

NSA vs FBI?
The National Security Agency (NSA) is going to war with the Federal Bureau of Investigations (FBI) over the Fourth Amendment and the warrant-less surveillance of Americans. In a recent letter, the NSA agreed to disclose a trove of FBI records. These records prove that the FBI conducted an illegal spying operation that violated the privacy of 16,000 Americans.
This issue underscores the importance of the Fourth Amendment and the dangers of mass surveillance programs being initiated under the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA). The two biggest violators of the Fourth Amendment are seeing the abuses play out in real time. Some of the agents in the NSA are fighting to preserve American’s rights, as the issue of warrant-less surveillance takes center focus.
In my opinion, both NSA, and FBI need totally over-hauled, deprogramming since both compromised as known to be reputed, and FBI needs to become a totally new entity with new agents now picked from special op forces, IMO!!!
ReplyDeleteThey need be hand picked, and with great skill-sets, they will be better equipped to not play games, but get er done WITHOUT hanging good citizen's out to dry in the processes, in my opinion!!!!! No more FBI, implement a New Agency; This would be called, "Invisible Warrior's" working for AMERICAN CITIZEN'S ONLY"!!!! They don't work for ME oil men w/Terrorist Ties, for CCP that extort Officials here, Drug Cartels to make interest of their $$ with for funds, Billionaire paid off groups that spread hate, violence, to push Anti-American communism on our soil, etc..................... "Invisible Warrior's" for AMERICAN CITIZEN'S ONLY: They would work for us to keep us safe, for real!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (: Hey, manifesting here, OK?
In my opinion, NSA needs to redirect to spying on ENEMIES, not populace known to be upstanding citizen's; Technology shows ID's real fast, so move on to suspects then, focus on real terrorists groups, not USA Citizen's that want a Government for the people, rather than coup groups or some Communism ran Gov. in USA, for the love of GOD, IMO!!
