1.) “We can tell from the space of the redaction the number of searches were between 10,000 and 99,999 [six digits]... The [six digit] amount (more than 10,000, less than 99,999), and 85% error rate, was captured in a six month period, November 2015 to April 2016...
“The government reports that it is unable to provide an estimate of the total number of uncompliant queries since 2012, id., there is no apparent reason to believe the November 2015 to April 2016 period coincided with an unusually high error rate”
The FISA court identified and quantified tens-of-thousands of search queries of the NSA/FBI database using the FISA-702(16)(17) system.”
So (back of the envelope calculations...)
(n estimate of queries over 6 months period) * (6-month periods going back to 2012)...
Low end = approx. 90,000
High(?) end = approx. 900,000
Keep in mind inside a single query “using the “About” parameter there may be thousands or millions of returns.”
2.) the article goes into the IRS ‘secret research project’ that involved Tea Party targets (likely ‘pede larvae):
“The IRS sent the FBI “21 disks constituting a 1.1 million page database of information from 501(c)(4) tax exempt organizations, to the Federal Bureau of Investigation.”
I was just thinking about #2 today. I WILL NEVER be surprised again at what people will do, NEVER. There is no line they will not cross. We have been asleep as a people, the media advertising has been telling us this was not possible, they are not "news" or "journalism" they are "advertising" and propaganda, the worst, the very worst.

All the unmaskings. How many Pedes among these?
The article addresses that question in two ways:
