The article discusses the anticipated confirmation process for Jay Clayton as DNI and the subsequent reauthorization of FISA (702). It argues that the speed of these legislative actions demonstrates when political entities control government functions. The author repeatedly asserts that FISA (702) is a mechanism allowing the DOJ/FBI to conduct secret surveillance on American citizens, circumventing Fourth Amendment protections.
Key points
- The Senate Select Committee on Intelligence (SSCI) is expected to hold a confirmation hearing for Jay Clayton soon, followed by potential full Senate votes.
- The author notes that the process suggests political entities control government functions rather than the executive branch itself.
- A key focus of the article is FISA (702), which the author claims permits secret surveillance on American citizens, bypassing constitutional protections.
- The text alleges that Title-1 surveillance warrants associated with 702 allow the government to review private records and metadata of Americans.
