FISA Court knew of illegal Obama surveillance - Rebuked Obama Admin prior to election...

"
New revelations have surfaced that the Obama administration abused intelligence during the election by launching a massive domestic-spy campaign that included snooping on Trump officials.

The irony is mind-boggling: Targeting political opposition is long a technique of police states like Russia, which Team Obama has loudly condemned for allegedly using its own intelligence agencies to hack into our election.

The revelations, as well as testimony this week from former Obama intel officials, show the extent to which the Obama administration politicized and weaponized intelligence against Americans.

Thanks to Circa News, we now know the National Security Agency under President Barack Obama routinely violated privacy protections while snooping through foreign intercepts involving US citizens — and failed to disclose the breaches, prompting the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court a month before the election to rebuke administration officials.

The story concerns what’s known as “upstream” data collection under Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act, under which the NSA looks at the content of electronic communication. Upstream refers to intel scooped up about third parties: Person A sends Person B an e-mail mentioning Person C. Though Person C isn’t a party to the e-mail, his information will be scooped up and potentially used by the NSA.

Further, the number of NSA data searches about Americans mushroomed after Obama loosened rules for protecting such identities from government officials and thus the reporters they talk to.

The FISA court called it a “very serious Fourth Amendment issue” that NSA analysts — in violation of a 2011 rule change prohibiting officials from searching Americans’ information without a warrant — “had been conducting such queries in violation of that prohibition, with much greater frequency than had been previously disclosed to the Court.”

A number of those searches were made from the White House, and included private citizens working for the Trump campaign, some of whose identities were leaked to the media. The revelations earned a stern rebuke from the ACLU and from civil-liberties champion Sen. Rand Paul.

Excerpt from the article:

"The FISA court called it a “very serious Fourth Amendment issue” that NSA analysts — in violation of a 2011 rule change prohibiting officials from searching Americans’ information without a warrant — “had been conducting such queries in violation of that prohibition, with much greater frequency than had been previously disclosed to the Court.” "

The Obama ADMIN WAS CAUGHT BY THE COURT AND THE COURT ESSENTIALLY DID NOTHING...

Where is that special prosecutor?

Hard evidence of violations of the espionage act and the court did nothing... WTF!

 

[LoneLaugher]

You believe that, huh?

 

[Billy_Bob]

Sent a copy of this to my senator.. Asking for his reasoning for not demanding a special prosecutor..

 

[Billy_Bob]

You believe that, huh?

Its called verifiable evidence... And it is verified.. The court did indeed give the Obama Admin WRITTEN NOTICE OF VIOLATION.. It is now in the public domain..

 

[depotoo]

How about reading the ig's report for yourself. Also look up where they have been warned a few times by Judges for crossing the line. Important cases have even had to be thrown out.

You believe that, huh?

More than 5 percent, or one out of every 20 searches seeking upstream Internet data on Americans inside the NSA’s so-called Section 702 database violated the safeguards Obama and his intelligence chiefs vowed to follow in 2011, according to one classified internal report reviewed by Circa.

The Obama administration self-disclosed the problems at a closed-door hearing Oct. 26 before the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court that set off alarm. Trump was elected less than two weeks later.

This just gets better and better... "Self Admission"... Which means it was INTENTIONALLY DONE...

Barack Obama's team secretly disclosed years of illegal NSA searches spying on Americans

When the Justice Department breaks the law, who is there to investigate and prosecute?

I agree that the people who were involved in violating the law should be fired but I don't think we are anywhere close to a civil war.

The Ny Post confirmed their findings.. But lets ignore the lib paper who confirmed the sources who are named... I bet you would have gave it greater credibility if the sources were unnamed..

The article contains court documents and the IG report to support the story, so what you're really saying is if it's true that the FBI has been illegally sharing classified information with people who are not authorized to receive it and if the FBI is illegally surveilling Americans, it is of no interest to you.

I read it. It doesn't provide any documentation. Let's see the goods.
