    WASHINGTON -- The FBI violated the law in collecting thousands of U.S. telephone records during the Bush January 19, 2010
    administration, The Washington Post reported Monday.

    Citing internal memos and interviews, the Post said the FBI invoked nonexistent terrorism emergencies or
    persuaded phone companies to provide information as it illegally gathered more than 2,000 records between
    2002 and 2006.

    Critical Mass.: Voters
    FBI general counsel Valerie Caproni told the Post that agents technically violated the Electronic head to polls
    Communications Privacy Act, which was enacted in 1986, by citing nonexistent emergencies to collect records.

    "We should have stopped those requests from being made that way," she said.

    Documents obtained by the Post show that FBI managers as high as the assistant director level approved the
    emergency requests. Caproni said FBI Director Robert Mueller did not know about the requests until late 2006
    or early 2007, after the inspector general's investigation had begun.
