A board of intelligence advisors warned failure to reauthorize Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act could be “one of the worst intelligence failures of our time,” while also recommending more limits on the FBI’s use of the intelligence database and more oversight in a report released Monday.
The report states,"After careful review, the Board strongly believes that Section 702 authorities are crucial to national security and do not threaten civil liberties, so long as the requisite culture, processes, and oversight are in place." The advisory board found inappropriate use from the FBI of 702 authorities but not evidence of “willful misuse” for political purposes. The report noted a DOJ audit in 2021 found a “large number of noncompliant incidents” which included those arrested during January 6th, and directed reforms. Administration officials said reforms in 2021 lead to a 93 percent drop in U.S. person queries conducted by the FBI and more compliance.
The advisory board also recommended establishing a standard for pre-approval across all agencies for U.S. persons inquiries, agreement on standards for accountability, a zero tolerance policy for willful misconduct and codifying principles in executive orders.
