NSA
For years the Judiciary Report has repeatedly
written that the FBI and NSA are illegally spying on Americans and
doing so in tandem with each other (Pentagon Has Weak Computer
Security Procedures and

Sound Off Column). A new report published recently indicates
the FBI and NSA have indeed been jointly spying on Americans and
sharing information with each other (see article excerpt below).
The Constitution has been pushed aside by the FBI
and NSA and this is not a good thing. The exorbitant multi-billion
dollar spying budgets to illegally spy on Americans is not helping
the economy. It’s a waste of time and money, not to mention defying
the Constitution.

New documents: NSA provided 2-3 daily “tips” to FBI for at

tipping off the FBI at least two to three times per day going back
at least to 2006.
Hours after President Barack Obama finished his
speech last Friday on proposed intelligence and surveillance
reforms, the Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI)
declassified a number of documents from the nation’s most secretive
court.
The new documents are heavily redacted orders from
FISC to the FBI. These items request that the court order an entity
(likely a business) to provide “tangible things” under Section 215
of the PATRIOT Act. The documents do not refer to who the target is,
nor which company or organization they apply to.
"The Court understands that NSA expects that it will
continue to provide on average approximately three telephone
identifiers per day to the FBI,” reads a footnote in a 2007 court
order (PDF) authored by FISC Judge Frederick Scullin, Jr...
