This is the big FISA lie.
The Chimp and many DINOs are still trying to convince us that the illegal wiretapping began "following the 9/11 attacks."
But the wiretapping began as soon as the Chimp settled into the White House.
So how the fucking goddamn hell is it that so many Americans can sit still while the Chimp uses the deaths of 3,000+ Americans to sell
unrelated immunity for telecom criminals?
How is it that so many elected Democrats are able to do the same?
How is it that the media are so willing to help all of them get away with it?
And how is it that Harry Reid hasn't been run out of town on a rail?
...
You know, one of the most important tools is to be able to figure out the intentions of an enemy that still wants to do us harm. If they're making calls into America, we need to know why they're calling, what they're thinking and what they're planning. We passed the Protect America Act that has aided our efforts to monitor the communications of terrorists and foreign intelligence targets. And I want to thank the -- the good work of the people here to get that bill passed last year.
Unfortunately, the bill is set to expire in seven days. The threat to America does not expire in seven days. (Applause.) The Senate Intelligence Committee completed work last fall on a bipartisan bill that we can support. It may need some tweaks, but it's a good bill in this sense: it will maintain the vital flow of intelligence on terrorist threats, to protect the privacy of Americans while making sure we do not extend those same protections to terrorists overseas;
it will provide liability protection to companies now facing billion dollars in lawsuits only because they are believed to have assisted the efforts to defend our nation following the 9/11 attacks.I'm looking forward to coming before you in Congress and to say as plainly as I can: This bill is important to the security of the United States of America, and the Congress needs to get a good bill to my desk as soon as possible. (Applause.)
