Summary
From December 23, 2017: As the year is coming to a close, Congress has now missed the deadline for reauthorizing FISA Section 702.

They discussed the politics of Section 702, the influence of this year's overall legislative agenda, and what to expect in 2018 for the crucial intelligence apparatus.
