He didn’t renew anything, he gave cover to the companies by using a provision…which would be fine, if we had congressional oversight monitoring the program…But since the NSA denys the justice department security clearence they can’t be investigated. This memo, now shields any information comming out as a result of civil litigation brought against the phone companies.

I take back saying he didn’t renew anything, he may have been drafting these memos for the last 3 years this program has been going on
