The Republicans new Fisa Plan.

Meet the new plan, same as the old plan.

There are few meaningful reforms in the planned renewal of the FISA system, which so terribly abused Donald Trump and those who have opposed the power of the Ruling Class.

Here is the kicker:

"As the Hill reports, the new package "focus[es] on more reforms at the FBI to address misuse of the powerful spy tool,” but the deal does not include requirements for a warrant, which is "deemed a red line for the intelligence community but nonetheless a top priority for privacy advocates in Congress.”

The new measure "would severely limit the number of FBI personnel who can query the database, forcing more oversight from some 550 supervisors or lawyers before agents can tap into the database to gain information on Americans.” The bill aims to "protect members of Congress or other high-profile officials” by requiring consent before a "defensive briefing.”

The FBI will be required to "notify a member of Congress, with some limitation, if they have been queried in the 702 database.” As members of Congress and the public may have noticed, the FBI, tasked with counterintelligence, has become a law unto itself."

End

Get that? Congress is exemptingthemselves from spying BUT NOT THE AMERICAN PEOPLE.

Nice work when you can get it.

As the article mentions, the FBI has failed to stop multiple terrorist attacks since 911 despite a massive increase in their budget. The prefer to go after people like Aretha Franklin, parents fighting trans promotion at school board meetings, and Catholic nuns.

And the GOP is going right along with all this.

No wonder everyone in Washington hates Donald Trump; he's the only guy calling for a return to sanity.
