“John Napier Tye goes on to warn us. He says… Executive Order 12333 [signed by Ronald Reagan in 1981] authorizes collection of the content of communications, not just metadata. Even for U.S. Citizens. …we were told for years don’t worry, they’re not collecting your data, they’re just collecting the data of foreigners. Turns out that wasn’t true.”

Hour 2: Sen. Rand Paul’s Filibuster on PATRIOT Act Extension – May 20, 2015
Senator Rand Paul

“John Napier Tye goes on to warn us. He says unlike section 215 [of the Patriot Act], Executive Order 12333 [signed by Ronald Reagan in 1981] authorizes collection of the content of communications, not just metadata. Even for U.S. Citizens. So quite often we’re told that — we were told for years don’t worry, they’re not collecting your data, they’re just collecting the data of foreigners. Turns out that wasn’t true.

Now the big thing they tell us is, well, we’re not collecting the content, we’re just collecting the numbers. But when you read John Napier Tye, the Executive Order authorizes the content of the communications as well, not just metadata and also for U.S. persons. So the question is, if we get rid of pulling collection will the executive continue to do it anyway? The other question is, why doesn’t the Executive stop this? It was started by Executive Action, it could be ended by Executive Action at any time.”
