Never let an emergency go to waste.
Careful reading of the coronavirus emergency funding bill that will pass Congress soon will likely also uncover a reauthorization provision for the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA).
Just don’t expect to see any of the reforms Republicans say must be enacted to prevent future recurrences of the FBI surveillance abuses against the Trump campaign in 2016. Most important among those reforms is a ban on bulk metadata collection derived from telephone calls by individuals within and without the country.
Democrats and republicans sitting in a tree, K-I-S-S-I-N-G. There’s one thing we can all agree on all of the time. The masses need to be controlled, and that can’t happen without omniscience. We are gods without knowledge – so “all of your information and data are belong to us.”

Sure. The ban that shouldn’t be needed because it was supposed to be banned already and the program terminated. And before that, the proven perjurer Clapper completely denying to Congress that it occurred at all.
Rope. Lamp posts.
