Nothing to see here, just the NSA seeking reauthorization of a bulk collection program that was previously shuttered. We suppose they figure we’re all so busy watching the rest of the hot mess the Intelligence Community has turned into with the endless Trump investigations to notice …
Luckily TF is paying attention for all of us.
Check this out.

We are alarmed Mike, we promise.
Mental health records, medical records, searches of Google, conversations captured on Alexa, which church or Synagogue you attend …
Holy crap you guys.

These are the same sort of people who get interview notes confused.
Ahem.
The NSA program had previously been closed after recent findings of:
(1) Abuse in the collection of millions of records; and
(2) Using those improperly obtained records to obtain additional records "pursuant to a court order" pic.twitter.com/85ntOwG3xa

Double yikes.
But sure, let’s give the government that power again … seems legit.
We’ve always thought that the FBI , CIA, etc were the good guys. Now we know better.

Certainly hope they refuse to reauthorize until the mess surrounding the President is cleared up. We still don't know the full scope of the problems created.
