Great News: The FBI Reports It Has Cut Back (Not Stopped) Spying On Americans Without Warrants

[Zincwarrior]

In public view is not spying.

Exactly. For just a few dollars, so much information on a person can be found. Its terrifying.

 

[HaShev]

Calling the Russian embassy triggers surveillance of communication since at least 1970.

Except if you are Obama who had Kislyak visit him 25 times at the WH according to his logs. Even if Obama used what he himself labeled a Russian spy as a means to recuse Sessions, obstruct Justice, use a foreign agent to manipulate not just 2016 Presidential election, but also the 2018 midterm and used him as a means to spy on Flynn thus Trump as well. Then it doesn't draw any surveillance because we as a nation don't spy on presidents present or former, Only Obama Does.-oops.

Kisylak was the Russian ambassador to the US.

I remember him as the guy who visited Trump when Trump exposed Israeli intelligence assets.

Exclusive: What Trump Really Told Kislyak After Comey Was Canned

During a May 10 meeting in the Oval Office, the president betrayed his intelligence community by leaking the content of a classified, and highly sensitive, Israeli intelligence operation to two high-ranking Russian envoys, Sergey Kislyak and Sergey Lavrov. This is what he told them—and the...

'The FBI has some fantastic news for you.

The agency has reportedly cut back on conducting surveillance on Americans without warrants. This means they have supposedly been violating our rights fewer times than they were a couple of years ago.'


Now don't you feel better?

Haven't your feelings changed and your confidence in the FBI improved after this?


Yes, yes. Yes...they are STILL violating the Constitution, violating the Patriot Act, and trampling Americans' rights ... BUT THEY HAVE CUT BACK the number of times they are doing it.

'The number of warrantless searches of Americans’ telephone calls, emails and text messages conducted by the Federal Bureau of Investigation plummeted last year, dropping from millions of searches to about 120,000, according to a U.S. intelligence report.'

The drop in number is reportedly due to the fact that the FBI is now complying more often with search restrictions. They aren't in compliance ALL THE TIME, but they are complying MORE:

'This drop is attributed to improved compliance with search restrictions following internal reforms and variations in national security investigations.'

Some would argue that these do not meet the criteria to qualify as 'violating rhe Patriot Act / Constitution'; however, you are either complying with the law - and all of its restrictions - or you are NOT.

This FBI report caught the attention of Congress, and it is considering amending the law that authorizes the surveillance program before it expires at the end of the year...to ensure COMPLETE compliance.


'Supporters of the program argue that it is a valuable intelligence tool for national security, aiding in counterterrorism efforts and providing insights into the strategic ambitions of adversaries like Russia and China.'

Of course the FBI and others argue that the program - which they have illegally abused apparantly thousands of times - is important ... but is it more important than the Constitution and protecting Americans' Constitutional rights?

After it was made public during the failed "coup' against then President Trump that the FBI had illegally spied on Americans (defrauding tbe FISA Court and violating the Patriot Act) ... after it was publicly revealed the FBI had done so under FBI Directors Mueller, Comey, and even Wray...Congress voted to keep the Patriot Act in place with no changes being made ... even when they knew tbe FBI had repeatedly violated it and would continue to do so.



'However, privacy advocates argue that the program lacks transparency and raises concerns about warrantless access to Americans’ data.'

The FBI has already proven them to be right.

How much of its freedom are Americans willing to give up To be 'safe' (from the 'bad guys')?
-

Emough of that....great news - time to celebrate!: The FBI has been willing to comply more with restrictions resulting in less spying without warrants!

WooHooooo!

The FBI Wants You to Celebrate Because It Has Spied on Fewer Americans Without Warrants

No you remember wrong, Obama kicked them out claiming them spys because the narratives were to claim them the "RUSSIANS" to sound like ambassadors were doing more or part of a scheme they created hence Obama meeting with them constantly including having Sessions meet with him so that narrative could force him to recuse himself thus obstruct the DOJ. He sent Kislyak out of the country for that affect but also so he couldn't testify or be available to the press who did nothing because they are clueless pawns in on the sham.

So you are saying Obama who set up the Sessions meeting with a normal ambassador means Sessions recused himself for nothing and Flynn was
wrongfully harrassed? And Obama kicked him out for being an ambassador?
You really are clueless thanks to your news source being the worst at revealling this stuff. Why do I always have to do their job?

The Constitution doesn't specify phones either but yet, it applies. It's pretty simple. The government can't spy on the people without a warrant. Period.

Agree on both points. The constitution only needs interpreted to encompass those thing's (all things), that fall under the jurisdiction of the United States of America. It basically can be applied to any and all things when interpreted correctly.

When Obama showed up out of no where, and he began rattling off like the most sleazy used car salesman one could come across, that's when I knew we were in trouble. I wasn't wrong then, and I'm still not wrong now.

You can thank George Bush for creating the Department of Fatherland Security.

All the right wingers were singing his praises. "He's keeping us safe!"

How quickly they have forgotten there were all in favor of warrantless spying on American citizens!

 

[MarathonMike]

The Trumpies aren't calling the Russian embassy all the time.

Prime example of the Democratic Party Psy Ops experiment on their supporters.

The key word is out of nowhere, in the city that founded the American Communist party and the rules for radicals. Used Car Salesman is a good analogy.

You sound like the Trump supporters talking about a "stolen" election.

The election wasn't stolen.

Why Would Jeff Sessions Hide His Talks with Sergey Kislyak?

There is nothing inherently wrong with the fact that Mike Flynn, Jeff Sessions, and other Trump advisers talked to the Russian Ambassador.

You can't deny the facts, dipshit.

Every president since Bush has spied on Americans without warrants, including Dear Leader.

Trump signs surveillance extension into law

The law tweaks the sweeping warrantless programs that intercept digital traffic of foreign targets while hoovering up the personal information of an unknown number of Americans.

You just proved my point, yet Kislyak was used by Obama for his Fisa to Spy on a party opponent's leading candidate.
I like to remind you, at first they spied on Ben Carson who in the beginning lead the pack. Obama did something worse than Nixon, because he used a foreign agent as a ploy to spy and used it to manipulate an election thus foreign interference, the charge they were falsely trying to oust a duly elected president through.
Not only a crime, but a treasonous crime=a coup.

Yeah. Ben Carson who claimed Joseph built the pyramids to store grain.

Who did Kisylak spy on?
