Top FBI official warned James Comey in 2014 of inefficiencies in warrantless phone surveillance program: Report


(Worthy News) – A retired FBI official who supervised the bureau’s warrantless phone surveillance program said then-Director James Comey took no action in response to his warnings about the inefficiencies of the program back in 2014.

Retired special agent Bassem Youssef told The Hill that he informed Comey that the FBI’s Section 215 program, which was enacted after the Sept. 11 attacks and allowed the agency to collect telephone records without a warrant, was “woefully ineffective” and needed to be modified.

The controversial program was revealed to the public by former National Security Agency contractor Edward Snowden in 2013. [ Source: Washington Examiner (Read More…) ]
