AND?! DOJ: FBI Used Patriot Act to Obtain ‘Large Collections’ of Data on Americans

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.


Editor’s Note: Are we getting numb to headlines like this one yet? The shock of this headline left us speechless (sarcasm)! Who doesn’t know this by now? Thanks DOJ for that astonishing conclusion that everyone else in America had already been made aware of at least a dozen times over since the Snowden revelations.

Are they going to actually do something about it then?? If not, they are wasting our time.

Either they cannot keep up the pretense and lies that they aren’t spying on us or it’s much worse than we thought. (Pick #2! Pick #2!)

Report by department’s inspector general found that the FBI received from the Fisa court 51 orders for such data between 2007 and 2009.

As lawmakers and security agencies braced for a potential loss of the heart of the Patriot Act, a long-delayed Justice Department report showed that the FBI uses the surveillance authorities it provides for “large collections” of Americans’ internet records.

Section 215 of the Patriot Act permits the FBI to collect business records, such as medical, educational and tax information or other “tangible things” relevant to an ongoing counter–terrorism or espionage investigation. Since 2006, the NSA had also secretly used it to collect US phone data in bulk.

After Edward Snowden’s leaks allowed the Guardian to reveal the phone-records bulk collection in June 2013, deep political opposition coalesced around the bulk program – eclipsing the FBI’s acquisition of other data, which has long been an issue only for civil libertarians.

But a Justice Department inspector general’s report finally released on Thursday covering the FBI’s use of Section 215 from 2007 to 2009 found that the bureau is using the business-records authority “to obtain large collections of metadata”, such as “electronic communication transactional information”.
