Here is someone making the case against reauthorizing.....aggiehawg said:I didn't hear any questions about that but then again there is soo much wrong with the FBI, that's kind of low on the priority list. Whether 702 is reathorized without significant changes is more important and time sensitive since they don't get many more chances at Wray. In my view, they should have him on the Hill twice a month. Bring him back to answer every question to which he answered, "I don't have those numbers before me right now," and make him provide that information in the follow-up hearing.nortex97 said:
I suppose no one even asked him about the Nashville ****** shooter's manifesto, and why the FBI thinks we can't possibly handle its release without becoming violently enraged.
I remember my jaw hitting the floor back in March 2017 when Comey claimed he had no idea how any FBI employees authorized to do 702 queries. You don't know? That is warrantless spying on American citizens yet those allowed to do so is so big the Director of the FBI has no idea?

Additionally, IG Horowitz also admitted that somewhere north of 10,000 federal employees have access to conduct these searches of the NSA database; a database which contains the electronic data of every single American, including emails, text messages, social media posts, instant messages, direct messages, phone calls, geolocation identifiers, purchases by electronic funds, banking records and any keystroke any American person puts into any electronic device for any reason.
Perhaps this fits in with Wray's "ignorance" of "parallel construction".
