Newly Declassified Documents Detail Further Illegal Spying Under Obama NSA (http://www.thedailysheeple.com/declassified-documents-detail-scope-of-illegal-spying-under-obamas-nsa_072017)

Under the Obama administration, the NSA and FBI illegally searched and disseminated raw intelligence on American citizens and failed to delete unauthorized intercepts, according to newly declassified documents (http://thehill.com/policy/national-security/343785-newly-declassified-memos-detail-extent-of-improper-obama-era-nsa) obtained by the ACLU.

The memos were released to the public on July 11 via Freedom of Information Act litigation spearheaded by the ACLU and shed light on violations committed by the NSA and FBI during the whole span of Obama’s two terms, from 2009 to 2016.

ACLU chief legislative council Neema Guilani gives more detail on the release:

What the documents show is that’s [they violated the law]. We’re seeing violation after violation of the terms of court orders and the terms of the surveillance laws that they’re expected to follow.

There are examples where they disseminated information about Americans in intelligence reports in a way that was improper. There are examples about cases where they kept communications that should have been purged. There are examples about cases where they searched for information about Americans in a way that was unlawful—and all of that, I think, points to what were now seeing, a history of the NSA not being able to police itself. …

Considering the astronomical number of NSA collections, however, the “1 percent” figure might not provide much comfort. In 2012, for example, using its Xkeyscore program the NSA collected some 41 billion records in a single 30-day period (https://www.theguardian.com/world/2013/jul/31/nsa-top-secret-program-online-data).

“Americans should be alarmed that the NSA is vacuuming up their emails and phone calls without a warrant,” said ACLU staff attorney Patrick Toomey …

In May, another batch of unsealed documents obtained by journalists John Soloman and Sara Carter (then writing for Circa (http://circa.com/politics/barack-obamas-team-secretly-disclosed-years-of-illegal-nsa-searches-spying-on-americans)) revealed yet more NSA violations (http://www.thedailysheeple.com/new-revelations-shed-light-on-extent-of-nsa-spying-under-obama_052017) and abuses of the agency’s Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) authorities, illegally targeting American citizens in what is known as “upstream collection,” a form of surveillance of internet communications, and failing to purge information on Americans when it was swept up inadvertently. …

the NSA violated the rules routinely and extensively. … the Obama administration knew of these abuses, but failed to disclose them until late 2016, …


The document release is just one in a long line of revelations regarding the abuse of mass, bulk-collection surveillance in the United States. While certainly not (http://america.aljazeera.com/watch/shows/america-tonight/articles/2015/11/12/nsa-whistleblower-thomas-drake-protections-espionage.html) the first (http://www.washingtonsblog.com/2014/06/original-nsa-whistleblower-snowden-never-access-juicy-documents.html) NSA whistle blower, Edward Snowden’s explosive 2013 document leak (http://www.cjfe.org/snowden) provided a virtual mountain of damning evidence against the U.S. intelligence community and its snooping into Americans’ lives. Since then, that mountain has only grown in size and scope, consistently showing more and more abuses and violations of the rights of Americans and the U.S. Constitution.

...and they'll support it anyway. Edward Snowden = traitor - say the traitors.

What's 'interesting' is that
the parallel NSA 'unmasking' story that Nunez ran with
resulting in the subpoenas of Lynch/Powers etc...
started
with the guy who McMaster just fired:
Ezra Cohen-Watnick (he 'shared' the classified intel w/ Nunez back in April.)
'Establishment' no likey him.
