<blockquote>"Nearly a dozen civil liberties organizations have
accused Congressman Adam Schiff and other Democratic leaders of
purposely undermining the online privacy of U.S. citizens and
immigrants; possibly in an effort, they say, to conceal the
unlawful surveillance of Americans’ web browsing activity by the
FBI’s national security branch."<br>
