“I don’t know any counsel in their right mind that would sign off on that, or any member of Congress that would say, ‘That’s OK,’” Bachner said. “If these people are out there interviewing folks that still have constitutional privileges, without their lawyer present, that’s immoral.”
“What do they do with that information they collect, and is it legal?” Bachner questioned. “Where do they store that information?”
The report raised disputes about how U.S. law applied to the program's interactions with American citizens. Many employees were concerned about the legality of the program, and the documents obtained by Politico suggested that there were serious issues with oversight, management, and accountability within the program, Politico noted. Around 2012, then-NSA whistleblower Edward Snowden revealed that his agency was spying on the electronic communications of all Americans, completely in violation of the agency's mandate. Nothing ever happened; no one was punished, no one was charged, and, certainly, no one went to jail. That's why spying on Americans continues to this day, and is increasing across a myriad of federal agencies.
