I say ‘evidence’, as it can be as slim as “You were present in a location that we determined OTHER people we’re looking at were”, or “You replied to a message from someone you barely know saying “Let’s take these Washington Ba$tards DOWN!” with “LOL”.
MANY of the Jan6 defendants were indicted for FELONIES on just such ‘evidence’.
Section 702 ostensibly allows federal intelligence officials to monitor “non-U.S. persons, located abroad, who are expected to possess, receive, or communicate foreign intelligence information.” FISA has been abused, however, to conduct domestic surveillance of the regime’s political opponents.
ALL without the normal warrants that have to persuade a judge that the searches have a basis in fact. The ONLY permission the government needs is a FISA court’s approval.
I believe it’s clear that Section 702 has been used against political opponents more than violent terrorists. It’s a weapon the Biden administration, and the previous Obama one, used to solidify their power in Washington, and is now using to make sure that no opposition party will EVER be more than a defanged minority party.
Think I’m exaggerating? Straight from the horse’s mouth:
Morell, the former acting CIA director who signed both letters, was a campaign surrogate for President Biden in the 2020 election and “admitted he drafted and circulated the letter to give Joe Biden a talking point to use during a 2020 presidential debate against then-President Donald Trump.”
The media, and the Left (same thing) will promote the idea that this is just a “4 month extension”.
Don’t believe that LIE. Even EFF, the Electronic Freedom Foundation, admits that 702’s reach will be in play for the next THREE years - in other words, the 2024 AND 2026 elections.
the House Judiciary Committee bill, H.R. 6570, the Protect Liberty and End Warrantless Surveillance Act, would actually address a major problem with Section 702 by banning warrantless backdoor searches of Section 702 databases for Americans’ communications. This bill would also prohibit law enforcement from purchasing Americans’ data that they would otherwise need a warrant to obtain, a practice that circumvents core constitutional protections. Importantly, this bill would also renew this authority for only three more years, giving Congress another opportunity to revisit how the reforms are implemented and to make further changes if the government is still abusing the program.
Send a link to this post when you contact Congress. Let them know you are informed about this issue, and have the links to back up my assertions.

There’s a search button near the top to find out who your Senators and Reps are (don’t neglect contacting Dems - if they know you’re serious, and will both donate to primary opponents and in any election, AND share this post widely, they may hesitate to extend 702, lest they be voted out).
