Abundant tweets about civil liberties & national security. "Has a longer memory than an elephant & keeps more records than Jim Comey.” Legendary potty mouth.

      @PatrickCToomey No. He said he didn't know of any. Cause if he did, there'd be notice, right? Hahahaha! Bwahahaha! Hahahaha! @normative

      @emptywheel Also, did he distinguish between using 702 info directly in court, and evidence "derived from" 702 collection? @normative

      @PatrickCToomey @emptywheel Whereas “derived from” might mean parallel construction.

      @normative @emptywheel Yeah, they could almost always re-obtain the same communications using other authorities

      @PatrickCToomey One QI have is whether timed this NOT to 1 year on Obama but to initial read that 702 challenges going nowhere. @normative

      @emptywheel If they think suits are going nowhere, why embrace add'l limits? @normative

      @PatrickCToomey As I've said, I think these don't work as limits, but as permissions. Big Q is why not and not in summer 2013. @normative

      @emptywheel Why do they need permission? Backdoor searches were ok'd in 2011 when they withdrew the prohibition @normative

      @PatrickCToomey Also suspect this relates to FBI's greater role in targeting. If you target then you can get criminal easier. @normative

      @emptywheel Yes—it allows FBI to relabel any transnational criminal investigation an FI investigation @normative

      @PatrickCToomey My suspicion is they have already done that in awkward ways (w/o notice, of course) & this normalizes status quo @normative
