This is the best summary I could come up with:

Congress reauthorized America’s warrantless wiretapping program last month after some successful fearmongering by national security hawks on Capitol Hill.

The email obtained by Wired dated April 20 was written by FBI Deputy Director Paul Abbate and sent out to employees internally.

“To continue to demonstrate why tools like this are essential to our mission, we need to use them, while also holding ourselves accountable for doing so properly and in compliance with legal requirements,” the email reads, according to Wired, which notes that the italicization on the word “use” was in the original email.

The FBI email made things even more explicit by encouraging searches for Americans when looking through intercepted communications.

But Wired spoke with Rep. Zoe Lofgren, a Democrat from California who notes this newly leaked email “directly contradicts earlier assertions” by the FBI when the agency was trying to get the law reauthorized.

The FBI got exactly what it wanted with the reauthorization of Section 702, something that was never really in doubt, even with pressure from a handful of politicians who opposed it.

The original article contains 385 words, the summary contains 177 words. Saved 54%. I’m a bot and I’m open source!

The FBI has been attacking US right to privacy since the 50s. Remember: any government body that wants a blanque cheque with your rights on it should probably be shut down as a warning to others
