Excerpts:<\/strong><\/p>\n

I caught my breath when I heard FBI Director Christopher Wray testify to Congress that there\u2019s been no abuse of Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA), the law under which our intelligence communities electronically spy on possible terrorists and sometimes capture private communications of innocent U.S. citizens. Section 702 and related components expire\u00a0Dec. 31<\/span><\/span>, and Congress must decide whether to renew them.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n
