Incredible.

Obama and Hillary Clinton and their deep state cronies attempted to overturn much of Article II. There are few higher crimes when those charged with enforcing the laws against hostile foreign governments turn their powers inward on the sovereign people.

The big fear of Anti-Federalists was that a standing army, which is designed to defend the nation from foreign threats, would be turned inward for domestic political purposes by a rogue President.

Some 230 years later, we needn’t fear troops quartered in our homes but the threat is the same when a President betrays his trust and oath of office.

I agree that there can be a difference between a 'good' and a 'bad' President; however, would suggest that what actually limits Government and protects individuals' God-given rights is not the ethics and or morals of any one or group of elected or unelected government officials. What limits government is limited powers, checks and balances, and the rule of law.

In my opinion, regarding what is being exposed now, Obama circumvented limited powers, checks and balances, and the rule of law BECAUSE limited powers, checks and balances, and the rule of law have been slowly eroded over time by the deep state.

For example, The National Security Agency (NSA) is a national-level intelligence agency of the United States Department of Defense. I would suggest that the NSA would never have been originally chartered if its mission was to spy on and collect information about U.S. citizens. In essence, via the NSA, the Military is being used against Americans -let that sink in... Let me add that Congress is letting this happen and the Judiciary as yet has done nothing to 'check' the rogue violation of individuals' God-given rights this unwarranted data collection represents...
