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

    As a reminder, here's how those leading the #ReleaseTheMemo campaign voted on 702. If they believed FBI is abusing its authority, they just voted for more abuse of you. https://www.emptywheel.net/2018/01/19/steve-king-just-voted-to-subject-americans-to-worse-than-watergate/ …pic.twitter.com/rDuPKZMeDH

        Also, it looks like Obama's admin was severely abusing the system. There's no doubt about that is there?

        Why not start by reading what I wrote? https://www.emptywheel.net/2017/05/30/the-problems-with-rosemary-collyers-shitty-upstream-702-opinion/ … The abuses were bipartisan, going back to ~2002. Coates' DNI was less serious about fixing than Clapper's.

        I might as well read the 99 pages myself. You ARE a little wordy -- no offense. To understand what I was saying you can listen to the yt I sent you from today. They talk about it although I am not sure they realize when the 99 pages came out. Nevertheless....

        The post on the left is Trump's pen on top of a @WhiteHouse stationery turned over. The name of the photo is RTM Release the Memo. Trump is ready to sign. The one of the right posted earlier -- speaks for itself. Seriously Marcy, you need to get on board here.pic.twitter.com/UVTOb4rLN1

        Trumpies don’t care. As long as some kind of action is being taken that supposedly protects Daffy Donald, that’s all that matters.

        I think you're oversimplifying. Its perfectly reasonable that different legislation, with different caveats and requirements may be appropriate where others are flawed.
