21. FISA isn’t about *protecting Americans*.
FISA is about CONTROLLING AMERICANS.
FISA is about CONTROLLING AMERICANS.
1. I want to make a follow up point about FISA, and how it is too powerful to trust our government with.
Its forgotten by many now, but during the Bush administration while Hayden was NSA director, there was a controversial spying program that was killed out of privacy concerns.

2. The Program was run by NSA out of the Director’s office. It was approved by AG John Ashcroft and was set to be re-approved- if the Bush admin could pressure ashcroft lying in a hospital bed to sign it.
Ashcroft had nearly died of ruptured gallbladder & underwent emergency surgery & was barely out of the operating room when Bush White House Officials attempted to get his signature to re-authoritize the program.

3. A famous showdown in that hospital bed ensued- white house officials versus none other than FBI director Mueller & Deputy Attorney General James Comey who auccessfully prevented the AG from reauthorizing the program.

Comey, Mueller and the showdown at John Ashcroft's hospital bed
It's not the first time James B. Comey and Robert S.
4. As we all know the program was later replaced with a much more shadowy much larger program.
5. Isnt it interesting that people like Comey will prevent spying to hinder some political enemies, but will abuse those same tools without limit to use them on his own political enemies?

1. Holy crap. Did Obama and his thugs frame and remove CIA Director General Davis Petraeus, to replace him with John Brennan? Check this extract from an article from 10 November 2012: https://t.co/5LlBeJbU9M

Mitch, I love you, but this is 100% true. Time is running out. Get tough and move quickly, or it will be too late. The Dems are vicious, but got caught. They MUST pay a big price for what they have done to our Country. Don’t let them get away with this! …
