Can’t help thinking the same stuff was going on in 2012 and possibly 2008.
I would say it was, but the pace picked up hugely later.
Knowing bureaucrats and IT managers, I bet the records are still in the great database in the sky. It is very likely the could not remove them all.
So, today, Trump has all the power plus some.
Which means that there was no legitimate reason for it at all.
Absolutely Correct.
GCHQ’s Robert Hannigan, who resigned almost immediately after Trump’s inauguration, was awarded the US Intelligence Distinguished Public Service Medal in 2017, yet you can’t find it documented anywhere, except in Wikipedia and UK Who’s Who, which is not accessible, and on Hannigan’s own CV I gather, which I can’t be bothered locating just now.
he was always around to liaise with “others” in the US:
8 March 2016: MIT Technology Review: British Spy Agency Chief Says Tech Companies Should Provide a Way Around Encryption
Nonetheless, Hannigan—making just his second appearance in a public forum since taking the helm of GCHQ in 2014—said tech companies should work more closely with governments to try to come up with ways to give law enforcement what it wants...

some interesting names here, if you need to touch base with “others” about how to keep a lid on revelations - Bossert & Joyce left the Trump Admin:

So they were having little get togethers right here. lol
So the power they gained ate them.
They should still stand trial and be judged and punished. They are not as smart as they thought they were. Technical expertise is not an indicator of wisdom and judgment.
England now has a totalitarian government that has chosen mudslimes over native born “subjects”. They are no longer our ally and are not to be trusted.
I believe that England is still an ally. I certainly want nothing to do with their laws.
I make no excuses for them coddling such evil vermin as those who traffic children.
Would an ally spy on a presidential candidate and try to help the Deep State interfere in our election? I think not.
Because some bureaucrats are criminals, does not make a nation an enemy.
There is no justification for what they did to Trump.
OK, let me revise my remarks. The government of England is no longer our ally.
Of course, a lot of OUR government is no longer OUR ally either.
Interesting. Who is this guy?
