Title: FISA Judge rules Obama's team approved illegal intel on 30,055 citizens during 2016 Presidential ele
Post by: Free Vulcan on May 22, 2019, 05:01:32 pm
FISA Court Judge Rosemary M. Collyer ruled that President Barack Obama and his top officials approved illegal surveillance on 30,055 citizens. Furthermore, Judge Collyer disclosed that one of every 20 data searches by the NSA on other citizens were illegal.

This collection of illegal data was compiled during the 2016 Presidential Election Campaign.

FISA is an abbreviation for the U.S. Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court. The NSA is an abbreviation for the National Security Agency.

A time stamp of the court ruling is attached above. Judge Collyer's entire 99-page court ruling is in the first link below:

   The only thing I've read recently @Sanguine was that obummer was channeling some NSA data through MI6 getting around the requirement that he couldn't spy on Americans without a warrant, certainly seemed plausible to me.

Thanks @Sanguine!

It's not old news to me as this is the first I've heard of it.  Why was it labeled "Top Secret" to begin with?

I am pretty certain that the version linked in the article is the same *redacted* version that we have seen for some time now.

The hope is that unredacted version Judge Collyer's 99 page report will be released during the upcoming (hopefully!) declassifications.

Recall that is was the work of Admiral Rodgers and what he brought to Judge Collyer that is motivation for her analysis and findings.
