Let that sink in. As per the Intercept article, Section 504 has been in place since 1947.
It requires Congressional oversight and authorization of spending on all intelligence activities. "At the request of the WH and the Pentagon" A waiver was granted with the passing of the stopgap bill.
This means the intelligence agencies under Trump have the power to allocate and reallocate funds on Intel activities without any authorization or approval from the Senate and House Intelligence Committees.
I repeat, Section 504 has been in place since 1947. No president in that time has been granted the unbridled Intel powers that our Congress just granted to Trump.
This means that at least until February 8, intelligence unlimited. Some Congressmen are now objecting, saying they want to introduce something sooner to undo what they just signed on for. 🤣🤣🤣
Maybe now we know why there were so many #SuperSpooks planes buzzing around today?
Factor this in with the executive order declaring a national emergency with regards to human rights abuses. Oh boy! Happy. National Human Trafficking Awareness Month! 💥💥💥💥💥 politico.com/story/2017/12/…
I have to wonder how many of our Congressmen never even read and therefore didn't know what they signed off on. "These people are stupid." #QAnon
I have to admit I am grateful at this moment that I believe @realDonaldTrump is a white hat with good intentions because otherwise I might just 💩myself thinking what authority they just hand him.
Thanks for taking the time to read this!
Okay, one final thought: Isn't it just a little bit ironic the Democrats shut down the gov for DACA and then gave away the baby with the bath water on intelligence? Think about it, Trump and the Pentagon basically have unlimited Intel authority thru 2/8. Just wow!

Meet Noel Francisco, Solicitor General in the DOJ, currently third in command. (short thread)
When [RR] is out, he assumes control over the Mueller investigation. Which is bad news for Mieller. He has the power to file Mueller and end the SC.
In 2007, he told a House panel he frowned on SCs as a matter of principle and felt delegatin to the various local US Atty’s offices was more prudent than ‘career prosecutors in the public integrity sector.’
The Octopus, what Danny Casolaro called the criminal Cabal before his untimely death in 1991. (Thread)
None of what I’m about to share is new— all open source. But when I re-learn events from before I awoke under light of Q, it brings new meaning. If Danny Casalaro were alive, I have no doubt he’d be amongst us Q peeps. #QAnon#WWG1WGA
A supposed suicide, but wrist slashes so deep the tendons were cut? Family not notified for several days? Missing briefcase and notes? Body already embalmed? Room sanitized already?
