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

      I assume you have read this. I know how you like to break these things down. They won't be able to do this again! http://dni.gov/files/documents/icotr/51117/2016_Cert_FISC_Memo_Opin_Order_Apr_2017.pdf …pic.twitter.com/PmlZz2vwaL

          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....

          Yes. Well. Complex memo. Here's a piece you might find more accessible on the 12-year law breaking.https://motherboard.vice.com/en_us/article/vb7eg9/the-nsas-12-year-struggle-to-follow-the-law …

          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

          Maybe it'll all make more sense after we #ReleasetheMemo. But all in all, did they address the problem? Or not?

          My sources say Trump told Coates to fix it and not to come back until he did or else he'd find someone to do it himself.

          Your sources could not be more hilariously wrong. SO much so I'd stop talking to them, ever.

          Would you like to elaborate on that? Or are you just going to proclaim? I think you'll be surprised. I am surprised you don't know. What about my question?
