FISA Flip EXPOSED: They Called It Spying… Now They Want It | TMP #1034
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
The fight over FISA surveillance just exposed something bigger than politics.
For years, politicians warned that government spying programs were being abused — especially during the Russia investigation and the Carter Page controversy. Now, many of those same voices are supporting an extension of the very same surveillance powers they once criticized.
So what changed?
In this video, we break down:
What FISA Section 702 actually does
Why it’s been so controversial
The recent vote in Congress and why it failed
Why some Republicans are now opposing it while leadership pushes to extend it
And what this reveals about how power really works in Washington
This isn’t just about Democrats vs Republicans — it’s about how government power tends to stay the same no matter who’s in charge.
If you care about privacy, surveillance, and how political narratives shift depending on who holds power, this is a story you need to understand.
