One of the biggest news bombs of 2013 came from Edward Snowden, when he uncovered the massive espionage actions of the US National Security Agency (NSA).
The story caused an uproar over the methods used by US intelligence agencies and led to endless debate about whether national security should have such access in the private life of each of us.
Nearly five years later, the NSA has requested and expects to receive a new license to continue the official surveillance program over the Internet for six years, thanks to a bill voted by the US Senate.
According to TNW, all that is left to enforce the bill, and cat extension granting the clearance to US intelligence, is a signature by President Trump, who can choose to issue the clearance or veto it.
No luck…
There's hope; The Senate has not been able to reduce the NSA's excessive surveillance powers for about half a decade, and today, if the license is granted, the issue will be re-discussed after six years (continuous monitoring of Americans and foreigners).
President Trump
In a tweet (FISA) as one of the tools that sparked his election campaign, which could lead many to believe they will not sign the bill:
"House votes on controversial FISA ACT today." This is the act that may have been used, with the help of the discredit and phony Dossier, so badly oversee and abuse the Trump Campaign by the previous administration and others?

However, in the next tweet, the hopes of each activist collapsed:
With that being said, I have personally directed the fix to the unmasking process since taking office and today's vote is about foreign surveillance of foreign bad guys on foreign land. We need it! Get smart!

Of course we should mention that in the above tweet, there are over 60.000 likes…
