Bipartisan bill would address Obama administration intel abuses

There seems to be no end in sight to special counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election. But enough details have emerged about Russian involvement in both campaigns, and possible subterfuge by the Obama administration, that legislation has been introduced to address some of the shortcomings of U.S. intelligence law that have been exposed.

The legislation, introduced by Sens. Ron Wyden, D-Ore., and Rand Paul, R-Ky., would amend Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act in a number of ways that would strengthen Fourth Amendment protections for Americans and put foreign intelligence gathering back in its proper lane.
