Recently released documents show that Obama was using FISA to illegally surveil American citizens, even when the are in another country. The report made by DOJ IG Michael Horowitz will be coming out soon. His investigation includes looking at FISA abuse by the Obama administration. Once that is released things should start getting lively.
An October 2018 ruling from the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court (FISC) found that the FBI violated Section 702 by not keeping track of searches that pertained to “United States persons,” and that proposed changes were still not enough to comply with the law. That ruling was later affirmed on appeal in July 2019. The documents were declassified and released Tuesday.
