I don't get why anyone believes the NSA will only search phone records per FISC orders when DEA had a program they ran with AT&T for years

@emptywheel but you're right. "if there isn't a law that explicitly bans me from doing this" = how the government works, with court approval -
@onekade Yep! But DEA and FBI push things further than NSA, which should be concerning bc they can put us in jail. -
@emptywheel right. but who has the most technical capacity? don't answer DEA. -
@onekade Don't think in terms of technical capacity. Think in terms of bureaucratic capacity to get those with it to do your work for you. -
@emptywheel ok. well perhaps we can agree on this: abolish the DEA slash the FBI's funding by 90% -
@onekade No. abolish the DEA. slash FBI's funding by 30%, make them use 25% hunting banksters. -
@emptywheel NO NO NO they do mostly bullshit. if you slash 90% they'll be required to spend the remaining ten on serial killers
