Caught up, but again, how many are searched illegally without a warrant or unmasked? Usually only the gatherer has unmasked intel

FISC has approved these searches; they're considered legal but Congress may change that. But 5,000 USPs were searched on w/o a warrant.

Ok now I'm definitely starting to feel you are playing with numbers to make it sound as bad as possible and so confusion. You toss out...

106k like it's a massive crime and cover up, then say "oh, that's legal, but someday it might not be"? Then it gets down to 5k USPs?...

Goalposts seem to be moving so much I don't want to even kick the ball.

106K foreigners had all available content moved to NSA, & for some to FBI & CIA. NSA & CIA between them searched for USPs 5,000X in that

The scariest part is FBI, and they literally say they do it so routinely they can't count it.

Exactly. Just gave us a number. They count it or don't count it. I don't expect Comey to count. Hell, he can't count days to an election.

Again: NSA: Counts both content and metadata searches CIA: Counts content but not metadata searches FBI: Counts neither, does it routinely

But NSA collects the data, correct? So they are the gatekeepers? They decide what is seen by other agencies?

FBI, and to a much more limited degree, CIA can say, "Hey, let's include this dude in 702 spying," but in that case both NSA & FBI will vet.
