702 is a part of FISA used for collection on OCONUS non-USPERS,
I don’t know why the writer thinks 702 is relative to American Citizens; it’s literally the FISA provision used exclusively for non-US Citz.
Respectfully- it sounds like you don't understand how collection works today. I will explain it:
It's not
"a warrantless wiretap" against a guy named Mohammed, so who cares?
What it IS is mass collection of communications through huge dragnet operations, and then "making the best effort" to exclude US devices and follow the 4th Amendment. That's literally-exactly what they say.
BUT there are exceptions- when collecting and storing all this data, the unlawfully collected US device info doesn't get thrown out... it just goes in a different bucket.
UNLESS they can prove some nexus between it and an ongoing investigation or a target of interest... which doesn't mean the next KSM like you think it does... it means you pinged in front of the arepa stand in Caqueta on vacation, and the Abuela used to bang a guy in ELN back in the 90s. (Those damn Caquetians! Worse than the Atropians!)
THAT'S how it pops up as evidence collected against American citizens and your lawyer says, "What kind of dystopian Big Brother shit is this? How did you obtain this?" and the Prosecutor says, "FISA... it's secret... I can't tell you... but anyway, what about it, Defendant?"
And you're all like, "If I'm being charged in a Criminal trial, where is the 'Intelligence' angle on this?"
And they can just say STFU, we can take anticonstitutional action legally- thanks to Section 702.
FISA is a huge piece of National Security and I don’t see it going away. It has definitely helped prevent 9/11-type events a time or two, at least.
If you talk to any of these Tubby Gallardo types (they all look like Ryan McBeth, whether they are male or female) in the IC they will tell you that they, "Stop a 9/11 attack every day!" thanks to their heroic efforts in the shadows.
It's fake bullshit though.
Y'know what really stops the next 9/11? Not sending $26B to the J-state so that they can bomb schools, hospitals, houses of worship... promote famine... violently expand into neighboring countries... etc.
OT, though.
And she's Trump's pick. Who/What is Trump and how does she fit with Trump's goal?
Simple: Person X is appointed to lead Agency Y and fold it down, so that our adversaries may stand up and exercise power over the United States.
Use this madlib to understand everything that is about to happen to us.
