Reply #4: Again with the "beginning soon after September 11, 2001" lie

[PSPS]

The Committee can say, however, that beginning soon after September 11, 2001, the Executive branch provided written requests or directives to U.S. electronic communication service providers to obtain their assistance with communications intelligence activities that had been authorized by the President.

This criminal wiretapping behavior began well before 9/11/01. It started shortly after bush was installed, in February 2001.
