Unfortunately, we've seen time and time again that it does work like that. Dems have yet to be held responsible for their support of terrorists, pedos, etc.
The NSA is probably the only remotely pro-trump intelligence agency right now, it was an NSA head after all that warned trump of the shenanigans the democrats were pulling right after the election.
The real thing here is if they were iPhones, iMessage will encrypt all the data and even Apple can't decrypt it. Now if they had iCloud backup enabled with iMessage saved, then Apple would have decryption keys (and the NSA most likely would have sniffed them up at this point).
Really I don’t know if they would even use the stellarwind database against the political and social elites. That system was made to be used only against us plebs. Otherwise how would the Epstein, Soros, and Clinton’s stay out of their purview for so long. If it was us citizens doing those things we would be caught in an instant.
Same people who think the military is pro-america and MAGA lol. Prepare to face off against the full might of the communist states of america's military if shit ever hit the fan.
Unfortunately, I'm losing faith that many of these issues are possible to solve within the system. We can keep trying to vote our way out, but eventually...
That's an odd thing to say considering it was the director of the NSA who sniffed out the FBI/NSD "contractors" snooping around around his databases. Said director then did an investigation with the FISC to conclude the snooping had been going on since November 2015 until mid-April 2016 (when the NSA began a full audit) and that 85% of their searches were illegal.
I know it's popular around here to assume all and sundry are deep state swamp things, but Trump would never have been able to get as far as he has if that were the case. We wouldn't know even 10% of what we know today about the obama admin's election fuckery if that were the case.
If Rogers was one of the only ones who wasn't corrupt at the NSA, there would be no way he would have been able to do a thorough investigation before and after the election.
As for emails, what did you expect the NSA to do? Prosecute? Only the DOJ can do that and Lynch refused. Lisa Page said this during her testimony when asked about charging crooked with criminal negligence...
RATCLIFFE: So let me if I can, I know I’m testing your memory. But when you say advice you got from the Department, you’re making it sound like it was the Department that told you: You’re not going to charge gross negligence because we’re the prosecutors and we’re telling you we’re not going to…
Like I said yesterday, the only stuff they could have hidden were personal notes and files on the phones, but anything put over internet or SMS is forever.
Even a wipe isn't guaranteed I'd wager. They were probably wiped to NIST800-88 since that's what DoD recommends. BUT I would wager a beer that government agencies have ways of recovering data even from an electronic wipe if there is enough political will to expand the manpower required.
Political will from those in charge, and obedience all the way down the chain to the tech responsible for doing the job. I.e.
Trump says go get the messages;
Barr doesn’t just write it down on a sticky note and throw it in the trash;
Barr’s lieutenant doesn’t just file the request email in his “to do later” folder, aka the trash folder;
The special supreme supervisory agent douchebag in charge of the techs actually relays the request;
The less than special and definitely not supreme supervisory agent isn’t too busy fucking anything in the office with two legs or on a quest to find a “smoking gun” on a triple amputees phone and issues the actual order to the tech;
Who isn’t too busy breaking into his ex girlfriends phone to see if she really thinks that he’s “a fucking creep and a loser” like she told him when she broke up with him on Facebook.
This is probably a reasonable approximation of what goes on in most of the executive branch for anything Trump is trying to do on behalf of the American people.
The only difference is that there are probably many more layers than I described here.
What’s the legality of it, anyone know? I know we can scoop them up but, can this used in criminal proceedings? Or can only Democrats use it for parallel construction purposes?
Sadly, government comms devices tend to not use commercial wire/band. The NSA may have all of my texts and your texts, but they're not capturing Trump's texts or, for instance, those sent or received by phones used by members of the State Department.
No, I'm telling you that government-owned devices aren't sending SMS via pathways that the NSA bulk gathers, the way all of us peasants do.
The government installs all kinds of key loggers and other bullshit on machines before they issue them out, so the data may be somewhere, but they're not going to get it from the regular NSA database.
This is why I have no faith the GOP will do anything to unseat their friends in lower places when they commit crimes. They all know its an endless revolving door of self-enrichment and if you turn on them you're out. We need more ruthless and cunning people doing the right thing and taking action with this knowledge WITHOUT complaining to FUCKS NEWS about it.
They need to haul them in and put them under oath like they did Flynn. When they lie and say they accidentally wiped the phones (like with a cloth), let them go home and then raid their homes at 5am like they did with Roger Stone.
NSA hoovers up nearly any data that is transmitted over the internet. They destroyed a shit ton of it a year or so ago, but their data center in Bluffdale Utah is no joke.
Spez: forgot to add the authority comes from a FISA court.
It all violates the constitution, and is still overseen by our good friend John Roberts (see Epstein flight logs) the chief justice of the Supreme Court, which of course is the body that should be upholding said constitution.
This is dumb. They DEFINITELY were not using SMS which is never encrypted, not over the air, not at the telco, not anywhere. They were using iMessage at the worst, but kore likely signal or telegram which is end to end encrypted but then wanted to wipe the device.
Anyone seriously thinking the NSA has them has no idea what they are talking about.
So, what will be done about any of this? Another stern letter, or maybe, a stern "don't do that again" or else. I'll bet like all things corrupt, nothing will come of any of it...and, that's why this crap happens over & over. They all know they are untouchable! They are all in the same damn club. You know, that club that you & I don't belong to.....
Unfortunately this is not true. iPhones sent their messaging traffic over iMessage via Apple servers. They only default to SMS when the other party is not an Apple customer.
So for the majority of intra-team communication (which I'm assuming everyone was using iPhones for this exact reason) none of the conversation would have been captured... unless the NSA has hooks into Apple's own servers which is entirely possible but would either Apple or the NSA admit this?
And given who would benefit, it's very likely that Apple claims their own privacy policy mandates the deletion of iMessage logs when a device is wipes, or after whatever period of time would have conveniently elapsed.
Regardless the intent with wiping is clear: it's a cover-up and destruction of evidence.
I was saying this when the news first came out. I'm sure the NSA will try to put in their password too many times incorrectly as well.
What if they weren’t SMS text messages? The federal government uses iPhones.
Yeah imessage and whatsapp is encrypted, NSA got nofen
Very
Lol the Mueller team guaranteed that they have an insider to wipe the Stellarwind database too. :(
Doesn't work like that... The NSA has been at quiet war with the FBI for a while....
Unfortunately, we've seen time and time again that it does work like that. Dems have yet to be held responsible for their support of terrorists, pedos, etc.
Someone has cleaned up for them.
In this particular situation it absolutely does work like that... It isn't just a joke that stuff on the internet is forever, it's literal
I know, and I agree with you.
Unless you're part of the Meuller fiasco. And everything else the demon left is doing.
Weird because we've all read Strzok's texts after they wiped their phones too, wonder how we all got to read them.
Didn't know he wiped his phone as well. Hmmmm... perhaps I am wrong. I hope I am! :)
The NSA is probably the only remotely pro-trump intelligence agency right now, it was an NSA head after all that warned trump of the shenanigans the democrats were pulling right after the election.
The real thing here is if they were iPhones, iMessage will encrypt all the data and even Apple can't decrypt it. Now if they had iCloud backup enabled with iMessage saved, then Apple would have decryption keys (and the NSA most likely would have sniffed them up at this point).
Yesssss
This is true. White hats primarily NSA
Forgive my skepticism, I presume all federal agencies are staffed by Reality Winners at this point
If I was AG, i would raid all of their homes at 5am with an OAN news crew to capture it all like they did to Roger Stone.
Small suggestions:
4 am.
Breitbart should be there too
Need 2 Helicopters too!
Never know when you need to give communists a ride in a heli.
oan news crewPredator missle
No knock tear gas raid
Really I don’t know if they would even use the stellarwind database against the political and social elites. That system was made to be used only against us plebs.

Same people who think the military is pro-america and MAGA lol. Prepare to face off against the full might of the communist states of america's military if shit ever hit the fan.
I’m still hoping for surgery.
LOVE BILL BINNEY
Binney knows where the bodies are buried...
Didnt we think the same thing with Hillarys emails?
Unfortunately, I'm losing faith that many of these issues are possible to solve within the system. We can keep trying to vote our way out, but eventually...

So that's why Hillary used hammers....
What’s the legality of it, anyone know? I know we can scoop them up but, can this used in criminal proceedings? Or can only Democrats use it for parallel construction purposes?
Well government property so this should be all fair, I’m guessing that’s why Binney tweeted this.
Sadly, government comms devices tend to not use commercial wire/band. The NSA may have all of my texts and your texts, but they're not capturing Trump's texts or, for instance, those sent or received by phones used by members of the State Department.
Source: I developed for "black wire" devices
You're telling me the government can read a license plate from space but can't read their own employees' text messages?
No, I'm telling you that government-owned devices aren't sending SMS via pathways that the NSA bulk gathers, the way all of us peasants do.
The government installs all kinds of key loggers and other bullshit on machines before they issue them out, so the data may be somewhere, but they're not going to get it from the regular NSA database.
Well at least now we have the answer to that old question. Nemo custodiet.
Sounds like its totally legal for one president to use the NSA database against his rivals. Trump should just start using it full time.
This is why I have no faith the GOP will do anything to unseat their friends in lower places when they commit crimes. They all know its an endless revolving door of self-enrichment and if you turn on them you're out. We need more ruthless and cunning people doing the right thing and taking action with this knowledge WITHOUT complaining to FUCKS NEWS about it.
Bunch of do-nothings!
They need to haul them in and put them under oath like they did Flynn. When they lie and say they accidentally wiped the phones (like with a cloth), let them go home and then raid their homes at 5am like they did with Roger Stone.
How are they allowed to do that?
PRISM
NSA hoovers up nearly any data that is transmitted over the internet. They destroyed a shit ton of it a year or so ago, but their data center in Bluffdale Utah is no joke.
Spez: forgot to add the authority comes from a FISA court.
Established during the traitor GW Bush years?
All of this violates the Constitution. They should not be able to acquire any of this info without a Warrant.
Meaning, get warrant and acquire data, not get warrant and search already acquired data.
It all violates the constitution, and is still overseen by our good friend John Roberts (see Epstein flight logs) the chief justice of the Supreme Court, which of course is the body that should be upholding said constitution.
They're not. We've been in a post-Constitutional world for two decades.
What is the Muller team?
Mueller. The guy who tried to take down an elected president with the debunked pee dossier claiming Trump was a Russian asset.
I aware of who former FBI director Robert Mueller is.
But who is Muller?
Is this some really shitty attempt at humor or do you have downs?
It sounds to me like you don't know who Muller is, either? I don't understand your comment.
Who or what is this Team Muller and why have I never heard of him/them?
They can’t be that stupid to say anything over text. They know how the system works. They e proved me wrong before though.
The NSA doesnt listen to american citizens, its against the law
Hahahahaha that moment when the deep state catches the deep state.
I'm sure they don't capture the messages of their own corrupt agents. If they did, they've likely stopped doing it. These bastards are not stupid.
They didn't forget. The NSA is a black box. Nothing is going to be released from the NSA.
Forcing trump to use fisa to claim false equivalence?
If it's being tweeted about, they were deleted from the NSA database too.
Exactly my thoughts
We have a backup
I’m sure mueller has nothing to hide and won’t oppose backup to being used
Lol except this is simply not true and on of the many reasons I dislike snowden.
The NSA is a shithole and a myth. The claims on their abilities are blown way out of proportion.
This is dumb. They DEFINITELY were not using SMS which is never encrypted, not over the air, not at the telco, not anywhere. They were using iMessage at the worst, but kore likely signal or telegram which is end to end encrypted but then wanted to wipe the device.
Anyone seriously thinking the NSA has them has no idea what they are talking about.
I don't think they forgot about the NSA. They just know nothing will come of it. The frustrating thing is that they are absolutely right.
So, what will be done about any of this? Another stern letter, or maybe, a stern "don't do that again" or else. I'll bet like all things corrupt, nothing will come of any of it...and, that's why this crap happens over & over. They all know they are untouchable! They are all in the same damn club. You know, that club that you & I don't belong to.....
Yeah, that won't happen.
Unfortunately this is not true. iPhones sent their messaging traffic over iMessage via Apple servers. They only default to SMS when the other party is not an Apple customer.

Regardless the intent with wiping is clear: it's a cover-up and destruction of evidence.
Aw, nobody told the FBI that even their phones are monitored by the NSA.
I don’t think they had the brain cells to know that deleting it doesn’t mean it’s gone for good you have to clear the whole phone.
