I thought it was cool that this appeared on the front page for me even though it was already [flagged]. I can actually see why it's flagged; of mostly political import with very little technical detail.
- AmericanChopper 7y agoIt’s pretty obviously just flagged for violating the permitted narratives. If this document is ‘of mostly political import’, then this[0] one most certainly is. Though I think it’s pretty funny how this scandal has mutated from a “far-right conspiracy theory” to “FISA courts are obviously being political”. Really this is just a CYA move to heap all the blame onto the FBI, but it’s hard to try and claim this isn’t relevant when it’s sharing the front page with threads like this[1], where the top comment thread is discussing FISA courts as a solution to litigating against the government.
