Worse still, it also lets the government use this Tor exception to spy on anyone or anything the AG deems related to national security. This authority is, under this bill, non reviewable. That means Jeff Sessions gets UNREVIEWABLE authority to spy on anyone using Tor.
65 Democrats just voted in favor of Jeff Sessions having that unreviewable authority. http://clerk.house.gov/evs/2018/roll016.xml …
I'm actually very sympathetic to arg FBI should have a way to access Tor and VPN traffic (they use subpoenas for the latter for regular old crimes); I suspect getting this authority has been key to success w/Dark Markets. But not doing so in a pretend foreign spying bill.
If Congress debated and passed "The Tor Spying Bill of 2018," it'd pass easily. And if they did so, defendants would get notice of that spying. Not so now. They'll never learn about it.
So effectively, on top of everything else that's wrong with this bill, it codifies the government moving criminal investigations under the jurisdiction of a secret court.
are the italicized congress people the Dems?
thank you! Making a list, taking names and all
Rapid DNA Act?
I think this is a docket error - s 139 for 2018 is the FISA reauthorization act (see below) but last august that number referenced the rapid DNA act that already passed and was signed in 2017. https://intelligence.house.gov/uploadedfiles/s_139_text_as_amended.pdf …
It's the vehicle they used to pass it so it still has that name.
Dang substitute amendments. Thanks for clarifying.
@RepLujanGrisham why would you do this? I voted for you and I want to know why you voted to give Sessions even more power! I will not tolerate any representatives who are working against the people.
We gotta stop the madness. This unreviewable authority is a blatant slap in the face of the Constitution.

Scary. (uh oh, is it OK to write that Mr Sessions?)
It's extremely unlikely that Trump can be gotten rid of so easily, even if money laundering is proven. Regardless, president Pence would be doing the same thing.
Trump is not Trump. He's not who you think he is, because he can be anything. So far, he's been a GOP and millitary-complex puppet, all wrapped with childish naivety and right wing lunacy. Legislation via Pence would be no different, despite being a a less crude "better person".
Why? What makes you think that right-wing, GOP-establishment Pence won't tow the corrosive line that the GOP has always collectively done?
