EXPOSED: THE WORST OFFENSE OF A SECRETIVE THUG ADMINISTRATION. NOW ALL OF IT MAKES SENSE. BLACKMAIL!
First lets cut the crap and call it what it is.
"Unmasking" in simple terms is "SPYING".
Why Justice Roberts switched his vote. Why Angela Merkel became the Pro Islamic German leader she is. Why Pope Benedict suddenly retired. Why John Boehner sided with Obama and suddenly retired. Why Romney Ryan were always one step behind in the 2012 elections. Why the Republicans were always exposed and why Key Conservatives like John McCain and Lindsay Graham switched sides in the fight. They had all their dirty little secrets!
BLACK MAIL IS A POWERFUL TOOL USED BY SPYMASTERS AROUND THE GLOBE.
The National Security Agency under former President Barack Obama
routinely violated American privacy protections while scouring through
overseas intercepts and failed to disclose the extent of the problems
until the final days before Donald Trump was elected president last
fall, according to once top-secret documents that chronicle some of the
most serious constitutional abuses to date by the U.S. intelligence
community.
More than 5 percent, or one out of every 20 searches seeking upstream
Internet data on Americans inside the NSA’s so-called Section 702
database violated the safeguards Obama and his intelligence chiefs vowed
to follow in 2011, according to one classified internal report reviewed
by Circa.
The Obama administration self-disclosed the problems at a closed-door
hearing Oct. 26 before the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court that
set off alarm. Trump was elected less than two weeks later.
The normally supportive court censured administration officials,
saying the failure to disclose the extent of the violations earlier
amounted to an “institutional lack of candor” and that the improper
searches constituted a “very serious Fourth Amendment issue,” according
to a recently unsealed court document dated April 26, 2017.
The admitted violations undercut one of the primary defenses that the
intelligence community and Obama officials have used in recent weeks to
justify their snooping into incidental NSA intercepts about Americans.
Circa has reported that there was a three-fold increase in NSA data
searches about Americans and a rise in the unmasking of U.S. person’s
identities in intelligence reports after Obama loosened the privacy
rules in 2011.
Officials like former National Security Adviser Susan Rice have
argued their activities were legal under the so-called minimization rule
changes Obama made, and that the intelligence agencies were strictly
monitored to avoid abuses.
The intelligence court and the NSA’s own internal watchdog found that not to be true. The American Civil Liberties Union said the newly disclosed
violations are some of the most serious to ever be documented and
strongly call into question the U.S. intelligence community’s ability to
police itself and safeguard American’s privacy as guaranteed by the
Constitution’s Fourth Amendment protections against unlawful search and
seizure.
Yes ...
Obama Intel agency secretly conducted illegal searches on Americans for years.
For what you have to ask yourself. Not because it could.. but because they had a plan. To STEAL AMERICA! No other answer will make sense! You can see the results.

Circa has reported that there was a three-fold increase in NSA data
searches about Americans and a rise in the unmasking of U.S. person’s
identities in intelligence reports after Obama loosened the privacy
rules in 2011. Officials like former National Security Adviser
Susan Rice have argued their activities were legal under the so-called
minimization rule changes Obama made, and that the intelligence agencies
were strictly monitored to avoid abuses. The intelligence court and the NSA’s own internal watchdog found that not to be true. “Since
2011, NSA’s minimization procedures have prohibited use of U.S.-person
identifiers to query the results of upstream Internet collections under
Section 702,” the unsealed court ruling declared. “The Oct. 26, 2016
notice informed the court that NSA analysts had been conducting such
queries in violation of that prohibition, with much greater frequency
than had been previously disclosed to the Court.” Speaking
Wednesday on Fox News, Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) said there was an apparent
effort under the Obama Administration to increase the number of
unmaskings of Americans. "If we determine this to be true, this is an enormous abuse of power," Paul said. “This will dwarf all other stories.” “There are hundreds and hundreds of people,” Paul added. The
American Civil Liberties Union said the newly disclosed violations are
some of the most serious to ever be documented and strongly call into
question the U.S. intelligence community’s ability to police itself and
safeguard American’s privacy as guaranteed by the Constitution’s Fourth
Amendment protections against unlawful search and seizure. “I
think what this emphasizes is the shocking lack of oversight of these
programs,” said Neema Singh Guliani, the ACLU’s legislative counsel in
Washington. “You have these problems going on for years that only
come to the attention of the court late in the game and then it takes
additional years to change its practices. “I think it does call
into question all those defenses that we kept hearing, that we always
have a robust oversight structure and we have culture of adherence to
privacy standards,” she added. “And the headline now is they actually
haven’t been in compliance for years and the FISA court itself says in
its opinion is that the NSA suffers from a culture of a lack of candor.” The
NSA acknowledged it self-disclosed the mass violations to the court
last fall and that in April it took the extraordinary step of suspending
the type of searches that were violating the rules, even deleting prior
collected data on Americans to avoid any further violations. “NSA
will no longer collect certain internet communications that merely
mention a foreign intelligence target,” the agency said in the statement
that was dated April 28 and placed on its Web site without capturing
much media or congressional attention. In question is the
collection of what is known as upstream “about data”about an American
that is collected even though they were not directly in contact with a
foreigner that the NSA was legally allowed to intercept. The NSA
said it doesn't have the ability to stop collecting ‘about’ information
on Americans, “without losing some other important data. ” It, however,
said it would stop the practice to “reduce the chance that it would
acquire communication of U.S. persons or others who are not in direct
contact with a foreign intelligence target.” The NSA said it also
plans to “delete the vast majority of its upstream internet data to
further protect the privacy of U.S. person communications.” Agency
officials called the violations “inadvertent compliance lapses.” But
the court and IG documents suggest the NSA had not developed a
technological way to comply with the rules they had submitted to the
court in 2011. Officials "explained that NSA query compliance is
largely maintained through a series of manual checks" and had not
"included the proper limiters" to prevent unlawful searches, the NSA
internal watchdog reported in a top secret report in January that was
just declassified. A new system is being developed now, officials said. The
NSA conducts thousand of searches a year on data involving Americans
and the actual numbers of violations were redacted from the documents
Circa reviewed. But a chart in the report showed there three types
of violations, the most frequent being 5.2 percent of the time when NSA
Section 702 upstream data on U.S. persons was searched. The
inspector general also found noncompliance between 0.7 percent and 1.4
percent of the time involving NSA activities in which there was a court
order to target an American for spying but the rules were still not
followed. Those activities are known as Section 702 and Section 705
spying.
The
IG report spared few words for the NSA’s efforts before the disclosure
to ensure it was complying with practices, some that date to rules
issued in 2008 in the final days of the Bush administration and others
that Obama put into effect in 2011. “We found that the Agency
controls for monitoring query compliance have not been completely
developed,” the inspector general reported, citing problems ranging from
missing requirements for documentation to the failure to complete
controls that would ensure “query compliance.” The NSA’s Signal
Intelligence Directorate, the nation’s main foreign surveillance arm,
wrote a letter back to the IG saying it agreed with the findings and
that “corrective action plans” are in the works.
NOW YOU KNOW...
DO NOT LET SOME FOOLISH TALKING HEAD SWAY YOUR UNDERSTANDING. WE ARE LIVING IN A POLICE STATE IF THE TRUMP JUSTICE DEPARTMENT DOES NOT PROSECUTE AND HANG THE PERPETRATORS!
