You label them "backdoor searches" (scary!), implying that this happens ALL THE TIME, to just any old Jane Doe. Comey says that?
-
Comey, Bob Litt, and PCLOB all say it happens so routinely (on USPs against whom there's no evidence of wrongdoing) they can't count.

I'm no where near as plugged in as you, proven by your esoteric alphabet soup. Please translate PCLOB and USPs into mere proletariat for me.

"please"

PCLOB is the privacy and civil liberties oversight board. USPs are US persons--citizens plus permanent residents.
-
So your premise is any agent of any IC or the Just. Dept., or Exec br. can request and get any convo between an USPs and any foreign person?
-
No. CIA, NSA, FBI, & (for even more focused content) National Counterterorirsm Center. Biggest concern is FBI, which does so all the time
