'Heart Stopping' Constitutional TREASON By CIA Director Hayden

'Heart Stopping' Constitutional TREASON By CIA Director Hayden

In a question and answer session . . . "Jonathan Landay with Knight Ridder [said]:  I'd like to stay on the same issue, and that had to do with the standard by which you use to target your wiretaps.  I'm no lawyer, but my understanding is that the Fourth Amendment of the Constitution specifies that you must have probable cause to be able to do a search that does not violate an American's right against unlawful searches and seizures . . .  The legal standard is probable cause, General. ...  I'd like you to respond to this -- is that what you've actually done is crafted a detour around the FISA court by creating a new standard of "reasonably believe" in place [of] probable cause because the FISA court will not give you a warrant based on reasonable belief, you have to show probable cause.  Could you respond to that, please?" 

 


"The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized."     

This however is how the NSA, CIA, FBI, etcetera . . . have twisted and perverted the 4th Amendment with help of the FISA Courts who have designated the United States as a 'foreign country' in order to completely ignore the Constitution.  They have also struck from the legal language the term 'probable cause' and replace by 'reasonably believe'.  That too began many years ago in 2006, when the TREASONOUS General Michael Hayden was the Director of the CIA.

The following information DEMONSTRATES the 'REASONABLE' standard prevailed while the Constitutional requirement of 'PROBABLE CAUSE' was NOT used to define the NSA's standard of operations.  The 'slippery slope' has evolved to the following: 

In a March 2, 2009 FISA court opinion, the Court noted that the program collects "communication of U.S. person who are not the subject of an FBI investigation to protect against international terrorism or clandestine intelligence activities, and are data that otherwise could not be legally captured in bulk by the government." (first emphasis by the court, second ours).  "Ordinarily, this alone would provide sufficient grounds for a FISC [Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court] judge to deny the application."

The Court noted that, nevertheless, the spying was approved, based on the Court's confidence in the NSA's assurances of a good process and strict controls. By March 2009, however, "The Court no longer has such confidence." The Court's particularly scathing statement about its distrust in the NSA can be found on page 12 here:  (http://www.dni.gov/files/documents/section/pub_March%202%202009%20Order%20from%20FISC.pdf)

What happened was that the FISC required the NSA have a "reasonable articulable suspicion" before conducting a search on a phone number.  The NSA decided, independently, that it could run searches on the database to develop the basis for the reasonable articulable suspicion.  Hence, the NSA was conducting suspicionless searches for information to obtain the court-required basis to search for that information.  How clever by half is THAT???  Had 'Probable Cause' been the requirement there would have been NO way they could have gotten around the law.  But . . . that's what happens when you ignore and subvert the Constitution . . . chaos reigns and thus it has allowed the NSA to run rampant!
