Using domestic surveillance to suppress political opposition is not “just politics”. That pure 100% despotism. That’s using the tools of government to remain in power, NOT by advancing policies, but by blackmailing opponents.
That’s utterly disgusting.
If a campaign finds out the opponent is cheating on his wife, that’s fair game. But if a president uses the FBI to ferret out and expose the same information on his opponent, that’s criminal and that president should probably be imprisoned.
And....
It belongs at the feet of Barack Obama.
Snowden is either a moron or he is complicit.
