    Edward Snowden Retweeted Edward Snowden

    The 1978 basis for creating a secret #FISA court (#FISC) was that "real" courts wouldn't be able to hide surveillance from suspects. But for decades since, real courts have regularly overseen surveillance against sophisticated criminals and won convictions. Real courts work fine.https://twitter.com/Snowden/status/959500212376145921 …

    Those upset about #MemoDay should consider regardless of what the FBI does or doesn't put into an application, FISA warrants have had a 99.97% chance of being granted over 33 years. https://www.motherjones.com/crime-justice/2013/06/fisa-court-nsa-spying-opinion-reject-request/ …

        YES! Thank you, Edward. What you risked to expose government corruption and the hideousness of the players, will never be forgotten by real Americans like myself. This is a diabolical machine that is designed for greed, power, and control. This is a weaponized Intel community.

        Shenanigans involving a secret court with no oversight? What are the chances? And why no outrage over all the past abuses? This whole charade is so disingenuous.

        Yup. Republicans have been ignoring Libertarians on this for DECADES and now that it's their president on the wrong end of a intelligence industrial complex run utterly amok, now we're supposed to care? A week after you voted to expand all of it? psshhh.

        Point taken, @Snowden. But that’s not what this memo is. This memo is a omission-riddled pretext to gun for Rosenstein, and then Mueller after him. I know we all have axes to grind, but rescuing USA from a constitutional crisis may be the biggest hole worth plugging right now

        The FBI literally lied to the FISA Court based on a DNC funded oppo research report (published by Fusion GPS, a firm that consists of FBI agent Ohr’s wife) in order to get a warrant on a Trump associate during the election.

        What they really dont like is when it comes out they screwed up or intentionally went on a fishing expedition against political opposition. Secrecy anymore isnt about sources and methods it about protecting an out of control bureaucracy. U can only hurt the public by holding back

        ......YUP. "Real courts" get convictions. After being on an Arizona Federal Grand Jury for 18 months, I witnessed that first hand. AND also the expenditure of millions of dollars on pissant crimes. AND some pretty scary methods to acquire evidence.
