Here is the relevant statute language:
A person is guilty of an offense if he intentionally—
(1) engages in electronic surveillance under color of law except as authorized by statute; or
(2) discloses or uses information obtained under color of law by electronic surveillance, knowing or having reason to know that the information was obtained through electronic surveillance not authorized by statute.
Notwithstanding any other law, the President, through the Attorney General, may authorize electronic surveillance without a court order under this subchapter to acquire foreign intelligence information for periods of up to one year if the Attorney General certifies in writing under oath that—
there is no substantial likelihood that the surveillance will acquire the contents of any communication to which a United States person is a party;
Bush authorized warrantless wiretapping of communications to which US persons were parties.
How is this NOT a crime???
