FBI has its fingers deep in NSA surveillance pie, declassified report shows –Feds had a hand in PRISM, too | 13 Jan 2015 | The FBI has a much closer involvement with the NSA’s mass surveillance programs than previously thought, with access to raw foreign intelligence and data on Americans gleaned from the PRISM program. The 231-page report, from the Department of Justice's Inspector General, was obtained — albeit in a heavily redacted form — after a Freedom of Information request by The New York Times, a request made possible using key details leaked by whistleblower Edward Snowden. The report finds that in 2008 — almost since the inception of the PRISM program, which allows the NSA access to citizens' information stored by Microsoft, Google, Facebook and Yahoo! among others — the FBI had access to slurped private data.
