How The FBI (Or Congress) Can Use Warrant Surveilling One American To Spy On Many More

• https://www.zerohedge.com by Sharyl Attkisson

Critics say such an alleged invasion of citizens' privacy and rights for political purposes is beyond the pale.

But Democrats argue that Schiff didn't really target Nunes or Solomon in his information dragnet. He says their calls were merely picked up incidentally because they spoke to two people who are targets: the president's lawyer Rudy Giuliani or Lev Parnas, a figure charged with violating campaign finance violations.

However, Schiff's controversial release of information naming Nunes and Solomon provides a window into how the FBI secretly operates to obtain information on Americans for whom they have no explicit permission to wiretap or monitor.

Believe it or now, intelligence agencies can use one legal wiretap to monitor as many as 25,000 people for which there was no wiretap justification.

The following is an excerpt from my reporting on Full Measure with Sharyl Attkisson that explains this phenomenon.

Through a single warrant, government agents can capture phone calls, texts, emails and bank records from people "two hops" away. That means all of the suspected spy's direct contacts— "one hop" —and everybody who contacts those people or even visits their Facebook pages or websites—two hops.
