  1. Wray kind of puts a # to last week's claim of a dramatic drop in FBI queries for Americans' info in the 702 warrantless surveillance repository: the 2022 figure was 93% less than '21 & 85% less than '20. That works out to roughly <200k-240k searches using USP identifiers in 2022. @charlie_savage/1631712347931779072

      Update: The newly declassified number for USP data in the 702 warrantless surveillance repository is fewer than 204,090 queries, per a senior FBI official.
