That's nice.
It's so reassuring to know that President Trump, when he comes up for re-election, will be able to use the full power of the government's intelligence apparatus to spy on political opponents and their aides and associates—to go sifting through all of their personal data and communications, and to selectively unmask certain persons and then leak information in order to attack and embarrass them.
The Justice department and the Republicans in Congress—anyone with an ounce of integrity—need to nail these corrupt bastards to the wall.
I think the American people might have something to say about such attitudes and "routine practices"...
The other non-routine part the article doesn’t address is Obama’s last-minute order to distribute the unmasked information throughout the intelligence community, which Obama’s team has publicly said they did for purposes of promoting the “Russian” investigation after Trump took office.
After Catherine Engelbrecht of True the Vote testified to congress about IRS abuse in Feb 2014, some four additional federal agencies subsequently harassed her, True the Vote, and her husband’s business.
It stands to reason that every federal agency, including the NSA, was on call to assist Hillary in 2016.
The Fourth Amendment is gone, welcome to the surveillance state.
Congress will do nothing.
The DOJ should remove the matter from politics and turn it over to a Grand Jury in the heartland, say Omaha, Nebraska.
Thanks to Rice, the burden of Hillary-induced delirium has been lifted. Democrats have gone from: "Trump is insane for suggesting the Obama admin spied on him, [to] Susan Rice was just doing her job."
==============================================
Rice just doing her job. Phew, I'm so relieved. Democrats are comfortable w/ Obama/Susan's surveilling/unmasking....... b/c, hey, it's "all legal."
Okay, then Pres Trump needs to do his job. He needs to announce ASAP, that since this is “all legal,” his administration will step up and do the legal thing to protect Americans' safety and security.
They'll be surveilling and unmasking any and all Democrats, on a continuing non-stop basis, particularly Democrats who have talked with foreign ambassadors, foreign financial groups, tropical offshore entities, and the like.
Plus, the Trump administration will ask for the “unmasking” of all those Democrats who are involved in such talks... because it is "legal."
AND Trump will use "Obama’s very own spur-of-the-moment legal rules" to distribute that information to every US intelligence agency. (HAT TIP BUBBA GUMP SHRIMP)
==============================================
Democrat will be s-o-o-o pleased that Trump is following in Obama's footsteps.
