The problem with looking at CIA and other intelligence reports from a law enforcement eye is they are not nearly the same.
Intelligence need not be based on a predicate but instead looks at all available information for possible threats. With this they then look further for evidence of what is going on.
Law enforcement needs a predicate to investigate, i.e. evidence of a crime.
FISA is the bridge between the two that enables law enforcement to go from intelligence to predicate.
It is pretty dangerous territory from a constitutional standpoint but each president, including Floridaman, has continued it since it started.
I hope that they have been presented with serious justification for doing so and considered it carefully.
