Right. In other news, today is Friday, and the FBI will continue to violate FISA in the future. It has no incentive to stop. If you really want to read up on this non-news story—as non-news as Bull Durham’s Non-Report, try this link: FISA Court Report: FBI Continued to Abuse Surveillance Tool After Trump-Era Abuses
"Only public outrage and jail sentences will change anything."
Totally agree, unfortunately there are just a hand full of "representatives" in our govt presently who share this perspective and would be willing to actually take actions to punish the perps. The rest are simply part of the problem.
So we are left with this unstoppable train wreck on the fast track to oblivion.

“How do you understand the seemingly unchecked growth of this globe-spanning American surveillance apparatus, and how do you understand the danger of that apparatus being turned to domestic political purposes?
There’s always danger inherent in secrecy. And you know secrecy of course is central to intelligence operations. Secrecy most often is used not for the good of the operation, but to safeguard the reputations of those who are running the operations.”
Actually a lot of people want to do that hard work. They will just never get the chance because if they speak up at the school board meeting they get a visit from a government agent. Or like Alex Jones or Roger Stone, or Fox News (Tucker) they get sued to oblivion to shut them up. Like Matt Taibbi, maybe they get a visit from the IRS while they are testifying in Congress. They’re just rubbing our faces in it now. This power will not be easily relinquished. John Kerry says they probably need to start shutting down farms and confiscating the land. Who’s gonna stop them? Ammon Bundy? They want us all dead or enslaved. Better get ready for what’s coming. This fall won’t be pretty.
