      Can @FBI monitor American citizens if they are on foreign soil, or do they still have to be masked? @emptywheel?https://twitter.com/irishkurs/status/898351494839324674 …

      😂😂😂Assange is technically on foreign soil and the FBI has a little thing called a FISA that makes listening to them perfectly legal. #HotMic

      Unmasking is done only in the case of an American caught up in intelligence agency monitoring of foreign communications. And requires cause.

      Also false. Perhaps you should not opine on topics you know nothing about?

      Perhaps you should expand your knowledge of these topics. My second tweet describes 'incidental collection'. Neither tweet is false.

      Perhaps you, my little friend, should learn a little about how Americans get read w/o unmasking? Honestly, this is very basic stuff.

      America 1, American 2... Unmasking reveals the name of the individual. My little condescending friend.

      SORRY. Americans can be read w/no evidence of wrong-doing w/o unmasking. Go back and study just a little bit big boy. THIS IS SO BASIC.

      Or maybe ask to learn a bit rather than embarrassing yourself as an ignorant?

          My point being that it's is too complex an issue to explain in just 140 characters. You really are an arrogant individual aren't you?So smug

          And I'm sorry if I appear arrogant to someone who refused to be corrected. Sorry if being corrected hurts your feelings.
