"I'm Leaving Office, But Here's Some Vast New Powers So you Can Spy on Trump for Me. You're Welcome. Love, Obama"

Doot Do-Doot Doot Doot Doot-Do, Livin' in the NSA

Somebody gimme' a cheeseburger:


"In its final days, the Obama administration has expanded the power of the National Security Agency to share globally intercepted personal communications with the government’s 16 other intelligence agencies before applying privacy protections.

The new rules significantly relax longstanding limits on what the N.S.A. may do with the information gathered by its most powerful surveillance operations, which are largely unregulated by American wiretapping laws.

...Now, other intelligence agencies will be able to search directly through raw repositories of communications intercepted by the N.S.A. and then apply such rules for “minimizing” privacy intrusions.' .......

Comrade O: "Gee, I don't know why I didn't think of this eight years ago!"
