James Clapper loosened rules to Spy on Congress

Unbelievable

People who say "There is no such thing as the deep state." Here is a perfect example of what the deep state is. Unelected career beurocrats who have more power then elected representatives in the government using their powers to thwart democracy.

Don't feel too bad, intelligence officials totally say it wasn't politically motivated.

That pretty much settles that, if it was politically motivated these anonymous intelligence officials would have told us.

Just like Obama increasing how many agencies would have access to classified information right before he left office wasn't politically motivated either.

😂

Im sure the people caught would have told us before being caught.

"Procedures issued by Director of National Intelligence James Clapper in March 2013 formally supplanted a 1992 set of rules that made the dissemination of names of intercepted lawmakers or congressional aides an act of last resort.

The new standard allowed for a lawmaker’s or staffer’s name to be unmasked ifÂ_ “an executive branch recipient of intelligence” believed that learning “the identity of the Member of Congress or the Congressional staff is necessary to understand and assess the associated intelligence and further a lawful activity of the recipient agency,”Â_according to a memo released earlier this month by the DNI's office with little public fanfare.
