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

      Never forget: when trying to explain a bad organizational outcome, incompetence is usually the better explanation than malevolence.https://twitter.com/foxnewspolitics/status/956253180844826624 …

      That's true for FBI but I'm less convinced that's true for NSA.

          Yep. Remember, this is the same FBI that couldn't seem to find a way to modernize it's computer system for a decade.

          Here's a WaPo article from 2006 about their struggles, and another from Newsweek...in 2014. The FBI isn't exactly a paragon of IT competence. http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2006/08/17/AR2006081701485.html …http://www.newsweek.com/fbis-expensive-sentinel-computer-system-still-isnt-working-despite-report-272855 …

          What a bunch of psychos 🤨 “glitch”..... this is ridiculous. Just as ridiculous as the #FakeWatchlist they use to manipulate the public using infragard and neighborhood watch. ROBERT MUELLER 1996 ... hmm. Clinton was president in 1996 🤔https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=RXQEqhpPgCI …

          You're in luck, the Inspector General has recovered the missing texts.
