WASHINGTON (AP) — The FBI should stop using a U.S. spy database of foreigners’ emails and other communications for investigating crimes that aren’t related to national security, a group of White House intelligence advisers recommended in a report released Monday....
This is the dynamic that prevented Pelosi and Schiff from getting the #FBI’s Patriot Act powers reauthorized a couple years ago, and instead this time it is #FISA and FBI’s warrantless backdoor searches of foreign intel for Americans’ info.
A newly declassified report from the Office of the Director of National Intelligence reveals that the federal government is buying troves of data about Americans.
#FBI says it is instituting a three-strike policy for misuse of #FISA 702 data, including unintentional misuse. Penalties up to and including "dismissal," per deputy director. (Actual details of this are unclear, new policy just announced moments ago.) #privacy

Carlson's senior executive producer Justin Wells has also been terminated, according to people familiar with the matter.
"#Kremlin talking points? If he or his staff were getting them from someone connected to the Kremlin, those communications could be subject to 702 #FISA collections directed at the source without a FISA Court order directed at #Carlson."
"...the many appearances of snippets of his show on #Russian state television had not been on a "pro bono" basis? What if there were a money trail?..."
