🚨 JUST IN—IT’S OFFICIAL: Conservatives have BLOCKED an attempt to RAM THROUGH a 5 year extension of FISA in the dead of night, extending it by only 2 weeks
@timburchett, @laurenboebert, and @RepThomasMassie are out here celebrating a win against the deep state 🇺🇸🔥
“They try to bring us in all these classified briefings and tell us how DANGEROUS it is to have warrants to spy on American citizens.
The briefing that we're never going to get is, ‘hi, our agency has been given TOO MUCH power by Congress!” — Rep. Boebert

Asked about how this current FISA bill relates to the powers used to spy on President Trump’s campaign, Massie said:
“Today, I went in the SCIF and saw two TOP SECRET documents that showed this program is getting worse—NOT better!”
When I asked how extending FISA impacts everyday Americans, Massie replied:
“If you get on the government's naughty list—regardless of who is in the White House—they could put your name in this, find things about you, and then go recreate ANOTHER evidence trail to discover that because they're NEVER going to say they used FISA.”

When I asked Burchett what he thinks of FISA, and if it’s used to spy on aliens, he said:
“I don’t believe in FISA. The only reason aliens don’t come down here is because there IS not intelligent life.” 🤣🔥
