  This comes from an oversight report. The FBI itself reformed its procedures earlier this year, resulting in far fewer such cases after, and people are pushing for more reforms in the law itself before reauthorization. Every single time, people do something, making it better over time. https://www.brennancenter.org/our-work/research-reports/coalition-statement-urges-congress-reform-section-702 https://www.brennancenter.org/our-work/research-reports/coal...

    Fewer cases or fewer cases that can be discovered? Who's going to verify actual change to a better, less corrupt FBI? From the very first, the FBI spied on politicians using that information to control them and protect itself from investigations. They have never been reigned in and have never been given a reason to stop these practices (and asking them to regulate themselves is self-evidently a crazy proposal).

Believing that the FBI is unstoppable demonstrates both a fundamental misunderstanding of checks and balances and democratic government as well as an unfamiliarity with history.
