Rep. Andy Biggs criticizes Speaker Mike Johnson for supporting controversial surveillance law

Rep. Andy Biggs told Breitbart News in an exclusive interview Tuesday that Speaker Mike Johnson kowtowing to the intelligence agencies on a controversial surveillance law is a “prime example” of the “D.C. cartel.”the Reforming Intelligence and Securing America Act , a bill that attempts to reform Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act , a controversial surveillance law that is aimed at targeting foreign adversaries; however, it often surveils Americans’ private communications .

Biggs said, “I think you get swept up in the D.C. cartel. I think they come and tell you that, that blood would be on your hands. And, so the cartel tries to intimidate, put fear into people. And, so some people forget why they were taking the original position.”“If you can’t speak publicly on an issue anymore without triggering a search and query of you by the federal government, then then how are we different than the CCP right now,” Biggs asked rhetorically.

He said that, despite an “uphill climb,” he wants to see the rules process put lawmakers on the record on warrant requirements and other reforms.
