According to the Washington Post,
the FBI issued thousands of national security letters many without any clear ties to “emergencies” or current investigations.
Referring to the exigent circumstance letters, Sen. Charles E. Grassley (R-Iowa) wrote in a letter Friday to Justice Department Inspector General Glenn A. Fine: “It is . . . difficult to imagine why there should not have been swift and severe consequences for anyone who knowingly signed . . . a letter containing false statements. Anyone at the FBI who knew about that kind of wrongdoing had an obligation to put a stop to it and report it immediately.”
No kidding. What I don’t get is why everyone is saying that the “FBI’s use of the exigency letters “circumvented” the law” rather than just say “They broke the law and many of the buggers are going to jail”.
