Binney is the real McCoy.Binney resigned from NSA shortly after the U.S. approach to intelligence changed following the attacks of Sept. 11, 2001. He  became a whistleblower after discovering that elements of a data-monitoring program he had helped develop   nicknamed ThinThread   were being used to spy on Americans,  PBS reported.On Monday he came to the defense of the president, whose allegations on social media over the weekend that outgoing President Barack Obama tapped his phones during the 2016 campaign have rankled Washington.

Everyone s conversations are being monitored and stored , Binney said.Binney also told Sean Hannity s radio show earlier Monday,  I think the FISA court s basically totally irrelevant.  The judges on the FISA court are  not even concerned, nor are they involved in any way with the Executive Order 12333 collection,  Binney said during the radio interview.  That s all done outside of the courts. And outside of the Congress. Binney also told Fox the laws that fall under the FISA court s jurisdiction are  simply out there for show  and  trying to show that the government is following the law, and being looked at and overseen by the Senate and House intelligence committees and the courts. That s not the main collection program for NSA,  Binney said Continue this report at ZerohedgeREAD MORE TRUMP AT: 21st Century Wire TRUMP FilesSUPPORT OUR WORK BY SUBSCRIBING & BECOMING A MEMBER @21WIRE.TV
