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

      Ok, that's not been my experience with FISA court. So it's easy now to spy on Americans, is that good or bad? @emptywheel @Thomas_Drake1

      Right. NSA would still need reason to do that for USP. Not FBI. FBI also doesn't track this closely @Thomas_Drake1 @RameshK__
