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

      When surveillance fans reveal a lack of awareness that virtually all of the things that Comey balked at in 2004 have been integrated into 702 and related programs.https://twitter.com/AshaRangappa_/status/952957090707968000 …

      Replying to @AshaRangappa_ @JakeLaperruque @SenWarren
      Even wrt foreign surveillance, a fact you and others conveniently forget to mention: When George W. tried to get the FBI and DOJ to sign off on the TSP, both the FBI Director and the Deputy AG had a literal standoff with POTUS, and refused to authorize it.

      Item 1 Comey balked at: Collection of content as metadata. Continued for years under PRTT until John Bates approved content as metadata in 5 page redacted def of metadata. This bill codifies content as metadata.

      Item 3 Comey balked at: Back door searches. FBI resumed it in 2008, codified it in 2009, NSA and CIA got it approved in 2011, NCTC got it approved last year.

      Item 4 Comey balked at: The sharing of domestic data with CIA (Not positive of details of this). Codified in back door searches in 2011; CIA currently refuses to count US person metadata back door searches.

      Item 5 Comey balked at: Spying on domestic dissidents in the same of force protection. This bill codifies that. Already adopted for 12333 spying.

      Voila! All those things Comey "heroically" stood against in 2004, codified in the bill that @AshaRangappa_ is backing.

      So the ONLY problematic practice from Stellar Wind that hasn't been codified IN Section 702 is letting 12333 trump (heh) FISA. But with EO 12333 sharing implemented last year, you may well have that.
