That is not what EO 12333 says/does. It says that if anyone is going to conduct the activities in question in the US, it will only be the FBI. FISA dictates the requirements as to how.
- boomboomsubban 6y ago>In other words...EO 12333 specifically authorizes activities for the FBI as they relate to foreign intelligence and counterintelligence activities;
- bladegash 6y agoEO 12333 says the FBI can conduct foreign intelligence and counterintelligence activities; then it states if those activities take place regardless of authorities it must be done by the FBI; FISA then lays out statutory requirements in order to carry out the authorities specifically as they relate to US persons. So no, the author is not correct. Or maybe a more generous way to put it is their point was incomplete in a substantive way. I’m not sure where the miscommunication is taking place.
- boomboomsubban 6y agoThe miscommunication seems to that you are taking it as a given that the FBI is acting in good faith, despite the history of both the organization and the use of EO 12333. Former government officials have said that the order is used to justify vast amounts of "incidental" collection, allowing the FBI to find one FISA approved target and commit the surveillance described.
