In a Fox-Inspired Tweetstorm, Trump Offers a Medley of Falsehoods and Misstatements

"Glenn S. Gerstell, the National Security Agency’s general counsel, said in an interview that because of several complex technical glitches, one or more telecom providers — he declined to say which — had responded to court orders for targets’ records by sending logs to the agency that included both accurate data and also some numbers of people the targets had not been in contact with.

As a result, when the agency then fed those phone numbers back to the telecoms to get the communications logs of all of the people who had been in contact with its targets, the agency also gathered some data of people unconnected to the targets. The National Security Agency had no authority to collect their information."

Lawyer Limelight:

Glenn Gerstell

GG: One of the best parts of my job – which I find the most fun and which I least expected – is that NSA frequently plays a leading role in interactions with other agencies on key national security issues. A good example involves the Privacy Shield agreement, in which we worked with other agencies to develop protections for transferring personal data between Europe and the U.S. These sensitive negotiations were led by the State Department and Department of Commerce, but NSA was heavily involved in the process because of European concerns regarding electronic surveillance. Even though I joined the agency only last year, I was quickly brought up to speed on those negotiations, reviewing drafts of the agreement and participating in interagency policy discussions. Attorneys in my office are now working closely with the Intelligence Community to develop policies and procedures for the implementation of the Privacy Shield agreement, including those procedures for handling surveillance complaints. Privacy Shield was a great example of the type of collaboration that goes on across agencies to ensure that the government takes a unified approach to complex policy issues.

My office also has a voice in interagency policy discussions on topics like encryption, defensive and offensive cyber measures, and the new cyber incident policy. The FBI and DHS, in particular, often ask NSA for technical assistance because of our expertise in cybersecurity issues. We review these requests to make sure that NSA has the authority to assist and that fiscal implications are considered, and to help evaluate the policy implications of the agency’s involvement. My office often assists the agency in determining the best role to take in each situation, and in many cases, we take the lead during discussions with other federal agencies on these high-profile issues.

Top National Security Council official forced out: report

Sorry if already posted.

"A top National Security Council (NSC) official was forced to leave the group on Thursday, the most recent departure since national security adviser John Bolton joined the administration earlier this year, Politico reports.

Jennifer Arangio, a senior director in the NSC who worked with global groups, was escorted off White House premises and told that she was no longer needed in the administration, according to Politico."

"She has fought to correct misleading information about refugees and migrants provided to the president by Miller and the DPC," the former White House official said.

The publication also reported that two other top NSC officials, Joel Rayburn and Michael Bell, left the group’s Middle East sector this week.

Rayburn is expected to join the State Department while it’s unclear what the other official, Michael Bell, will do, according to Politico. Rayburn didn't return the publication's request for comment and Bell couldn't be reached. "
