GOP Rep. Turner: People Saying the Latest Version of the FISA Bill Is About Spying on Americans ‘Are Just Not Telling the Truth’

EXCERPT:

TURNER: "You know, I was — the Intelligence Committee was instrumental in drafting the bill that's going to the House floor. And, Jake, I appreciate you raising this issue, because the -- this is surveillance, surveillance of foreigners who are abroad. They are — we're not surveilling foreigners in the United States. We're not surveilling Americans in the United States. Those individuals who say that this is a warrantless search of Americans' data are just not telling the truth. These are foreigners abroad. They're a select group of individuals who are a national security threat. If you're an American and you're corresponding with ISIS, yes, if we're -- if we're spying on ISIS, your communications are going to be captured. You would want us to do that. All Americans would want us to try to make certain that we keep ourselves safe from these terrorist, outside terrorist groups and organizations. We are not spying on Americans. This is not a warrantless surveillance program. This is foreigners who are abroad only, and this needs to pass."
