Several people asked me to make a post on this for one thing. The reason it's a burr in my ass was explained in the post.  I have a huge problem with accusing good people of doing evil shit.    "You've still not persuaded me that the government did due diligence." This isn't about the government at large and I was never trying to persuade you of such a thing anyhow.  It's about accusing a single woman of being a traitor when all the evidence and Admiral Rogers' own testimony says she's not. I have no problem with picking apart the FISA process itself.  Obviously something about it is fucked up.  When it was passed as law in the early 2000's, we were promised that it would be used to spy on foreigners only.  So criticize that shit all you want.  I never argued against such criticism.  But again, that process being broken is a different issue entirely than picking on this woman for shit she didn't do.
