27B Files Open Government Request for FBI Telco Contracts

I’ve suddenly become a huge fan of 27B Stroke 6.

27B filed a request Friday for the FBI to produce copies of the contracts it signed with three large telecoms, post-Patriot Act, in order to get phone call records in response to agent’s self-issued subpoenas faster. Those contracts created a cozy relationship that agents quickly abused to get records without even jumping through the few administrative hoops required for so-called “National Security Letters,” according to a recent internal audit.

With the growing rumblings of impeachment, we will be closely following these developments. Good luck guys!
