borrowed from Frank over on LB's thread.....the three-letter agencies, especially the FBI, need to be burned to the ground.

Thread by Roscoe B. Davis, part of it copied below.

If you notice in this 300 page document, Schiff has introduced Phone records, specifically call logs into evidence that wasn't presented during the hearing, yet here they are.
These are AT&T call logs of Lev Parnas & Rudy Giuliani. You see other names in there but all are in one way or another either talking to Parnas or Rudy.

Now Parnas has a case pending in the SDNY for Campaign Funding Violations.

Here's my point. This is the product of an NSL
Those who are asking what is an NSL. An NSL is a national security letter (NSL) and is an administrative subpoena issued by the United States government to gather information for national security purposes. NSLs do not require prior approval from a judge.
This tells me that the SDNY has used an NSL to obtain the phone records of Lev Parnas and Rudy Giuliani. If you ask how can I tell? Well these are simply call logs, no content of the conversations just basic call data. Who, when where and how long. That's all that an NSL produces
Here's the rub, the problem. Lev Parnas is only charged with a campaign funding violation. Not any breach of National Security by any stretch by anyone's imagination.

SO someone in the SDNY has some explaining to do. Schiff cannot request an NSL.
When asked directly Schiff got all squirmy and said he couldn't divulge where he got the records. Damn right he couldn't because here once again someone is abuse the surveillance programs in the government for political purposes and not in the National Security interests.
This is absolute bullshit and @realDonaldTrump should have Barr look into WTF is going on in the SDNY. @MattWhitaker46 knows damn well what is going on here, the NSL powers are being abused again.
mentions NSLs typically contain a non disclosure requirement forbidding the recipient of an NSL from disclosing that the FBI had requested the information. You read that right the FBI. This is a real problem, but this isn't localized to just the SDNY and here's why.
The non disclosure provision must be authorized by the Director of the FBI, and only after he certifies "that otherwise there may result a danger to the national security of the United States.

That means that this had to be approved by Chris Wray. That's a real problem.
Here a protective order issued in the Parna s case
