The CIA has been collecting the personal information of Americans for years in a secret surveillance program that has no congressional approval, according to a newly declassified letter released by a pair of Democratic senators said late Thursday night.
Sens. Ron Wyden of Oregon and Martin Heinrich of New Mexico are branding the collection 'warrantless backdoor searches.' They sent a letter to top intelligence officials calling more details about the program to be declassified and demanded immediate action.
The program is 'entirely outside the statutory framework that Congress and the public believe govern this collection, and without any of the judicial, congressional or even executive branch oversight that comes from [Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act] collection,' the senators wrote.
The only item that somewhat bothers me is the two guys putting their name on this info are Democrats. It gives me pause. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-10500779/Senators-CIA-secret-program-collects-American-data.html
