Obama Expands Surveillance Powers on His Way Out

With mere days left before President-elect Donald Trump takes the White House, President Barack Obama’s administration just finalized rules to make it easier for the nation’s intelligence agencies to share unfiltered information about innocent people.
New rules issued by the Obama administration under Executive Order 12333 will let the NSA—which collects information under that authority with little oversight, transparency, or concern for privacy—share the raw streams of communications it intercepts directly with agencies including the FBI, the DEA, and the Department of Homeland Security, according to a report today by the New York Times.
That’s a huge and troubling shift in the way those intelligence agencies receive information collected by the NSA. Domestic agencies like the FBI are subject to more privacy protections, including warrant requirements. Previously, the NSA shared data with these agencies only after it had screened the data, filtering out unnecessary personal information, including about innocent people whose communications were swept up the NSA’s massive surveillance operations.

I may be misremembering this but wasn't Samantha Power given the unmasking power right around this time?
yes...and apparently she had nearly 300 unmasking requests. she testified that she didn't do that.
so is she lying or was someone illegally submitting unmasking requests under her name?

You can tell this is really really bad, when CNN will not even report on a story of this magnitude.

Just tuned into CNN and Tapper leads with WHO says Virus may never go away. I guess they are going to pretend this didn’t happen.

This will get interesting when it comes out that they were spying on the entire Tump team on domestic calls. Then it will hit the fan

A simple google search of bunyan tigerdroppings yields some laughs.

Doesn't this make Sullivan look like a political hack/idiot of the first order?

Biden wasnt provided a report or paper on some analysis. He wanted to see raw detailed signals intelligence. Typically the type of activity that is reserved for analyst. I cant think of any reason why a VP would need to see those details.
Now we have another VP potentially looking at raw SigInt, and I guarantee those same people would see no issue with it.

Another fire fighter in the MSM
Glenn Kessler

@GlennKesslerWP
Read the fine print, @KellyannePolls:
“While the principals are identified below, we cannot confirm they saw the unmasked information.”
Kellyanne Conway
?
@KellyannePolls
Read the BIG print in @washingtonpost for the past 3 years @GlennKesslerWP & at least wince or blush. If you can't apologize, at least get a grip. Your paper incessantly accused a campaign I managed of colluding with Russia to win. Time to "fact-check" the Obama-Biden crew.
@SteveKrak
Maybe someone should ask Brennan, Clapper, or Power about it during one of their endless hits on CNN or MSNBC? Or should we just let the facts go unchecked, Washington Post Fact Checker?

Thank you. I thought I had read that somewhere but I tried searching and couldn't find it. It's incredible that she was given this authority and then was the very first person to request a Flynn unmasking. Not a smidgen of corruption though.

And why is this a big deal? I know you can't unmask for political reasons, but wouldn't people need to be unmasked for various other reasons?
Its illegal to leak their name to the public

Dumb question since I cant remember how the merry go round started. What led them to want this individuals named unmasked in the first place.
They have the right to unmask for political connections, like flynn. The crime was leaking his name to the media and the public.

The Democrats will simply say each person had to request and explain why they requested the unmasking and it went through the NSA standard process. It also states that even though the requests were made there is no guarantee that the person even saw it.

It was leaked to the press by one of them.
