I'm glad that the Republican memo has been released. It makes many conclusory assertions, some of which are serious.

Unlike
#FISA702, which authorizes systematic violations of the#4thAmendment, the section of FISA discussed in the memo requires probable cause and a warrant.Show this thread -
The central allegation is that a warrant was obtained fraudulently or without sufficient cause. If true, it shows the dangers of the secret Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court, something
@libertycaucus and@freedomcaucus members have been saying for a long time.Show this thread -
But
#FISA702 is far more dangerous. It permits the FBI and other agencies to conduct unconstitutional, warrantless searches on millions of innocent Americans (whose communications were incidentally collected while targeting foreigners overseas).Show this thread -
If the speaker and others believe abuses are occurring in the execution of one section of FISA, then why would they insist on reauthorizing another section of FISA (702) that has far greater potential for abuse?

Congress now has an obligation to re-examine
#FISA702 and pass reform legislation like the#USARIGHTSAct to protect the rights of the people we represent.Show this thread

Hey Justin - quick question for you... speaking of bipartisan liberty defenders, remember those
#RussiaSanctions that passed both houses with overwhelming bipartisan support? Those ones that POTUS refuses to implement? What's your stance there? Willing to put country over party?Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

How ignorant, this is not a 702 issue it’s an FBI DOJ issue... Dems are so desperate to deflect it really forces them to look dumber than usual.

It wasn’t a 702 FISA warrant though. I hope your followers will research the this. In short, they were spying on US citizens as if they were foreign agents but without a foreign agent FISA warrant
