Snowden Mentioned ‘Direct Access’ In Interview With The Guardian

27. It's more like signing an affidavit. That's what the banksters needed for the mortgage theft.

Basically, the law requires someone to certify certain things. In the case of the mortgage thefts they robosigned all sorts of documents saying that they had reviewed the original paperwork on the transaction and stuff like that. They never even had the paperwork in most cases, but they hired people to swear that they did, and that they had reviewed it all.

In the spy analyst case it's sort of the same thing, only now it's official policy. An actual person has to certify (for instance) that if we don't listen to this specific call or read this specific email then we will all die at the hands of terrorists.

So what they've done is they have set up a system where (most likely, because I don't really know too many details of this software) when an analyst logs onto the system his authorization code (or electronic signature) is automatically attached to every transaction that he does. Hence the robosigning analogy.

In order to have this authority to robosign this stuff, he only has to be verbally authorized to do so by either the Attorney General or the Director of National Intelligence.

Apparently he has instant access, on his own authority, to the pretty much the entire database.

I hope that helps a little.
