That’s my senator and he’s one of the last heroes.
Oh boy! I wonder what horrors will be uncovered once this administration is over!
This administration will face prison time or the United States will collapse like the Soviet Union…and no empire lasts forever.
So what’s happening at the CIA that has Wyden sending a two-sentence letter that amounts to “I legally cannot tell you what’s wrong, but something is very wrong”?
Could it be that he observed that the so called “agentic” operating systems (current versions of Windows, MacOS, iOS, Android) are essentially screen-scraping everything people do, and funneling it to the intelligence apparatus? Security researchers have been squawking about this for a while, and even recently the Signal Foundation CEO pointed it out. Or is that too mundane? Is it much worse? Intelligence gathering tools like Microsoft Recall are an intelligence agency’s wet dream.
The election interference thing certainly doesn’t strain credulity, but wouldn’t he be able to disclose something so wildly illegal? That is the whole point of congressional oversight.
