Did the FBI have evidence of a breach larger than Snowden? A lawsuit says yes.

A former U.S. intelligence contractor tells Circa he walked away with more than 600 million classified documents on 47 hard drives from the National Security Agency and the CIA, a haul potentially larger than Edward Snowden's now infamous breach.

Montgomery alleges that more than 20 million American identities were illegally unmasked - credit reports, emails, phone conversations and Internet traffic, were some of the items the NSA and CIA collected.


He said he returned the hard drives to the FBI, a fact confirmed in government documents reviewed by Circa.

Maybe they'll be able to to do better next time, and unmask all our identities, emails, etc.

As per the question asked by Montgomery... can you imagine what someone can do with that kind of info... that kind of power?

Looking around I found this interesting Nunes Must Ask FBI's Comey About Montgomery Mass Surveillance Case

Montgomery left the NSA and CIA with 47 hard drives and over 600 million pages of information, much of which is classified, and sought to come forward legally as a whistleblower to appropriate government entities, including congressional intelligence committees, to expose that the spy agencies were engaged for years in systematic illegal surveillance on prominent Americans, including the chief justice of the Supreme Court, other justices, 156 judges, prominent businessmen such as Donald Trump, and even yours truly.

Working side by side with Obama's former Director of National Intelligence (DIA), James Clapper, and Obama's former Director of the CIA, John Brennan, Montgomery witnessed “up close and personal” this “Orwellian Big Brother” intrusion on privacy, likely for potential coercion, blackmail or other nefarious purposes.

But when Montgomery came forward as a whistleblower to congressional intelligence committees and various other congressmen and senators, including Senator Charles Grassley, Chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, who, like Comey, once had a reputation for integrity, he was “blown off;” no one wanted to even hear what he had to say.

The reason, I suspect, is that Montgomery’s allegations were either too hot to handle, or the congressional intelligence and judiciary committees already knew that this unconstitutional surveillance was being undertaken. Moreover, given the power of the NSA, CIA, and DNI, for congressional committee heads to take action to legitimately and seriously investigate and if necessary recommend prosecution of officials like Clapper and Brennan could, given the way Washington works, result in the spy agencies disclosing and leaking (as occurred recently with General Michael Flynn), the details of their mass surveillance, ruining the careers if not personal lives of any politician who would take them on.
 
Comey supposedly has records of all his meetings as Director. Juicy stuff in there!

I think, after the past 18-months alone, one would realize NewsMax has a better record of reporting accurately than CNN, ABC, CBS, NBC, NYT & WaPo... and it's not only what they misreport, it's what they don't report.

These folks misreport in an attempt to swing US Presidential elections... something they find offensive when the Russians do it to their candidate, but not when they do it themselves to the candidates they oppose... it's seen as necessary.

You don't like NewsMax... why not try the link in the OP?

Uh.. no. Not at all. I trailed back the link, and it was the typical right wing rumor site. It links back to 'freedom watch usa', who is own by Larry Klayman, a paranoid idiot who is lawsuit happy. Sorry, but you look at the source, if you follow the source back , it's to a conspiracy nut.

I don't have to. One only needs to follow back the trail, and look at who the source is.

Keep your eyes covered, your lips sealed, and your ears plugged. Ignorance can be blissful.

I hope this Montgomery lawsuit gets some traction. There must be one good judge somewhere in the federal judiciary.

No, no rational adult would realize that.
