“Was the NSA data used by this administration for partisan political purposes?”
I think that every aspect of the Federal Government was used to get Obama re elected. IRS data on Romney was leaked, for instance.
I think the Census data was used for fundraising, and this time it was run out of the White House. Couple that with the group and affinity tracking NSA database and who knows how many other Federal databases, and you can win every election.
I’ve suspected that lots of the data analyses was run on Google server farms, but I can’t nail that down, so that’s just speculation at this point.
If the IRS was harrassing Tea Partiers, Christian and pro-Israel groups, plus Republican donors, what is the liklihood that PRISM was reading the e-mails of the RNC and the Romney campaign?
Given the ethical quality of this administration, I don't doubt that all of these surveillance tools were being used for political purposes.
