I don't think so. Based on public info there was an individualized FISA order for Carter Page's comms. This is the original part of the law passed in 1978. The law re-authorized last week, which allows mass surveillance, is actually much worse, but not the same.https://twitter.com/AriMelber/status/959268772682129408 …

Actually, Nunes reauthorized Title VII, which would have covered (705(b)) Page while he was in Russia and London and Abu Dhabi, the abuses of which there's no evidence have ended.

Well, that was probably added bc of targeting of people in this investigation. But no. I mean straight up 704/705(b). I wrote in...oh, May 2016 that it should be reviewed as part of reauthorization. https://www.emptywheel.net/2016/05/13/while-it-is-reauthorizing-fisa-amendments-act-congress-should-reform-section-704/ … Turns out NSA was frantically trying to review it then

Fair point, but -- and I could be wrong -- I doubt thats what most people are talking about in this context.

No one (except me) is talking about it in this context. Which tells you how serious these people are about actual abuse.
