Nothing to see here, just the NSA seeking reauthorization of a bulk collection program that was previously shuttered. We suppose they figure we’re all so busy watching the rest of the hot mess the Intelligence Community has turned into with the endless Trump investigations to notice …

Luckily TF is paying attention for all of us.

Check this out.

Under the radar: Intelligence Community – with impending IG report on FISA abuse and long track record on surveillance abuse – seeks reauthorization of controversial NSA bulk collection program that was previously shuttered.@SenMikeLee has concerns… pic.twitter.com/rF3QJU6bxx — Techno Fog (@Techno_Fog) November 8, 2019

We are alarmed Mike, we promise.

Mental health records, medical records, searches of Google, conversations captured on Alexa, which church or Synagogue you attend …

Holy crap you guys.

It adds deeply to OUR suspicion as well, dude.

Sen. Coons [referring to the previous deletion of improperly collected mass collection records]: "Has there been any loss in intelligence value as a result ?"

These are the same sort of people who get interview notes confused.

Ahem.

The NSA program had previously been closed after recent findings of: (1) Abuse in the collection of millions of records; and (2) Using those improperly obtained records to obtain additional records "pursuant to a court order" pic.twitter.com/85ntOwG3xa — Techno Fog (@Techno_Fog) November 8, 2019

Double yikes.

But sure, let’s give the government that power again … seems legit.

Scary stuff.

Certainly hope they refuse to reauthorize until the mess surrounding the President is cleared up. We still don't know the full scope of the problems created. — Steve Bradley (@stevencbradley) November 8, 2019

Hell NO — Paul Vuxta (@PVUXTA) November 8, 2019

Right? Not just no but hell no.
