Perhaps most egregiously: In their letter Cotton and Grassley claim they reached "agreement with our Democrat counterparts" on their bill to extend FISA 702 for 3 years
In reality, Grassley's Judiciacy Cmte counterpart, Senator Durbin, was not involved in negotiation and strongly opposes the bill 🙃

My latest piece for @techpolicypress.bsky.social, debunking the false claims & fear-mongering in a letter from Intelligence and Judiciary Cmte. Chairs Cotton and Grassley:
FISA 702 collection doesn't stop if sunset happens, and there is broad bipartisan opposition to simply continuing the status quo
Jake Laperruque
Jake Laperruque argues that lawmakers should reject fearmongering over a FISA 702 lapse and allow votes on bipartisan reforms to curb surveillance abuses.
