I've been following some of the news surrounding FISA abuse as much as possible when I have the time, but to be honest I still don't understand this court system fully to recognize the aspects that were actually abused.
Can someone please explain how FISA's original purpose and which part of the Obama admin's actions abused it?
How is FISA even supposed to add value to our nation? Does it target foreign, or domestic criminals?
I want to be able to share more with my coworkers and friends, but this FISA stuff is a part of the Obama scandals that I've never fully understood. To be honest, I don't know anyone that even knows what FISA is. If I could fully understand it maybe I can help others to understand it as well.

This is incredible - thank you so much! The 2-3 hops is critical info and changes everything. I had forgotten about the HAMR. You're right, they make it sounds like an old telephone pole wiretap, when it's much more.

If you want to understand better, watch the movie Enemy of the State and the TV series Person of Interest. POI is the HAMR known as The Machine in the series. Check it out.
Also research William "Bill" Binney. He designed Thin Thread which was the NSA precursor to the CIA's HAMR which was, in part, based on stolen tech.
