Opinion: The FBI’s lawless spying on America
The program that was code-named Stellarwind violated the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act of 1978 by allowing phone calls and electronic communications to or from a targeted foreign person to be scooped up by United States government agencies and retained in a database, without a warrant, even if a U.S. person’s communications were incidentally collected.
Serious abuses and errors under Section 702 have been documented in multiple reports by Justice Department Inspector General Michael Horowitz, and in December, a required semiannual assessment of the government’s compliance with Section 702’s procedures and guidelines was released by the Office of the Director of National Intelligence.
During an April 27 hearing held by the House Judiciary Committee, Inspector General Horowitz testified that the FBI conducted more than 1 million secret database searches erroneously in 2021, an error rate of about 30 percent.
