He says, and he may believe, that they were also surveilling Hillary. There is no evidence of this. All the surveillance was of Repubs, Cruz, supposedly Rubio, and obviously Trump.
FBI and the other agencies were working for the people who already control her.
Its like, when they broke into State Department files to look at Obama’s passport files. They (supposedly) looked at Hillary’s files too... but it was Obama they were after.
It may be politically useful, as the !!Russia!! story collapses, to pretend they were also after her, as a way of making it palatable for Democrats to accept the semi-truth. But no. That’s not what happened.
Is this the ‘John? Jon? he’s talking about?

Head of Justice National Security Division to step down
Assistant Attorney General John Carlin, the longest-serving head of the Justice Department’s National Security Division who has overseen a flurry of high-profile terrorism and cyber espionage cases, will step down next month, officials said.
Mary McCord is set to replace him as acting assistant attorney general on Oct. 15.
Carlin, 43, joined the National Security Division in 2009, only three years after it was established to consolidate the Justice Department’s national security and intelligence functions, and was confirmed as head in 2014.
He has overseen a robust increase in prosecutions for domestic terrorism, including the Boston Marathon bomber, Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, and steered the first conviction for attempting to construct a radiological device with the prosecution last year of Glendon Scott Crawford, a member of the Ku Klux Klan found guilty of planning to target unsuspecting Muslim-Americans with lethal doses of radiation.
Attorney General Loretta Lynch praised his pioneering role.
“He oversaw the unprecedented indictment of five members of the Chinese military for cyber-enabled economic espionage and the investigation of the attack on Sony Pictures Entertainment’s computer systems,” she said in a statement. “And he forged crucial collaborations with our partners in the intelligence community, law enforcement and the private sector, enhancing our collective ability to detect and deter threats as they arise.”
The chick isn’t hot.
FISA court whose stated purpose was to protect Americans, and so given extraordinary powers, in fact turned out to be a part of the secret police wing of the government, whose sole purpose was to illegally spy on innocent Americans for political purposes.
The entire Patriot Act should be repealed.
Yes, but she's been really well-trained.
Oh no. He’s safely tucked away outside of US.
I suspect that Session was a plant from the time he first supported Trump. He sure had me fooled.
She plans to be president of Russia and On says her desire is to dismantle our power grid.
Depends how long is the arm of the Clinton Crime Family...
PB not On
I guess. But he’s a liberal really and probably supported Hillary. His reason for talking now is bigger than politics. He wants to save his former country from Russia.
The affair thing is what he WANTS to admit. Least of his sins.
If the reported manipulations of the FISA Court all prove to be true and there is no demand for accountability from the Court itself, we have plenty of reason to worry.
They weren’t “looking at” Obama’s passport file, they were “amending it”.
A great lesson for young Russian conservatives on where not to look for an example.
Although libs and commies got the most mileage out if it.
The guy is obviously not mentally healthy at this point.
He is under a lot of stress but quite credible.
