> spying on reporters

This is a side thread that is interesting and not surprising. Not sure what charges could be made on this though. The treason charges will be enough anyway.

I think a lot of MSM folks get/got spied on as well - could be a potential lever to strain the monopoly and unity of message.

I'd think there are laws against spying on American citizens without a warrant. I doubt they got FISA warrants for Solomon and Carter.

But didn't I read just the other day here that Obama signed some executive order or something allowing the spying on American citizens without a warrant when they are on foreign soil? Not sure if that's a thing or not.
