      Dear Reporters: Every time someone makes a claim like this and you DON'T ask, "then why did you just give FBI more authority to spy on Americans w/o a warrant," you're abdicating your job.https://twitter.com/stevenportnoy/status/958358730319462401 …

      And in case you're wondering, No, none of these #ReleaseTheMemo people have mentioned the FISA abuse that Carter Page probably WAS subjected to. That's how bogus this all is.

      I for one have. The FISA 702 (16,17) abuses were outrageous. FYI NSA Dir: Adm. M. Rogers shut down the private contractor FISA access on 5/16 and terminated the NSA FISA (17) about queries 4/17. So that nasty end around the Obama FBI/NSD used to monitor Page/Trump team is gone.

      1) You've got the details wrong. Virtually all of them. 2) Coats/Sessions FOR THE FIRST TIME successfully kept unlawfully obtained info on Americans--that's how the abuses were resolved. So Coats/Sessions deviated from past practice in lawbreaking.

      And btw, I was the first person to do analysis on that memo and unlike every other person who has done so know what normal reauthorization memos look like.

      Indeed you did. I understand how confusing this is for people who know fuckall about what they're reading.

      riddle me this. if coates/sessions did this. why does the report call out errors in upstream collection dating back to 2015? Citing numerous errors that always lead to over-collection and widespread unauthorized access? BTW really no need for condescension.

      Replying to @enzerj

      The memo alludes to errors in upstream collection dating back to 2007 (it's not allowed to allude to the outright upstream collection lawbreaking from 2002-2007). And it ALSO notes that it was letting Coats/Sessions break from past practice by KEEPING illegally obtained data.

      Btw, one of the reasons I'm pretty sure I know more about this than the propagandist you read this from is bc I reported on the problems in 2016 before the FISA memo came out.
