Russ Tice, a former intelligence analyst and Bush-era NSA whistleblower, claimed Wednesday that the intelligence community has ordered surveillance on a wide range of groups and individuals, including high-ranking military officials, lawmakers and diplomats.
He also made another stunning allegation. He says the NSA had ordered wiretaps on phones connected to then-Senate candidate Barack Obama back in 2004.
“They went after–and I know this because I had my hands literally on the paperwork for these sort of things–they went after high-ranking military officers; they went after members of Congress, both Senate and the House, especially on the intelligence committees and on the armed services committees and some of the–and judicial,” Tice told Peter B. Collins on Boiling Frog Post News.
He went on: “But they went after other ones, too. They went after lawyers and law firms. All kinds of–heaps of lawyers and law firms. They went after judges. One of the judges is now sitting on the Supreme Court that I had his wiretap information in my hand. Two are former FISA court judges. They went after State Department officials. They went after people in the executive service that were part of the White House–their own people.”

Anyone who thinks this issue isn’t RINO/Democrat bipartisan just hasn’t been paying attention.
NYR72...Especially if they never used the dirt against candidate Zero when they had the chance.
You just don't know what to scrub if you can't see the dirt.....jmo
BTTT!!!
Who says they WANTED to stop him?
It is interesting that during Obama’s reign that both General Patraeus and Chief Justice Roberts appear to have been used by the administration and have been spied on by NSA. I never heard of Bush twisting arms like the rumors about Obama.
So, *IF* this is true then someone went to great lengths/risk to have the ability to blackmail many key figures in government.
Is there *any* chance they would take these risks and not seek the rewards/benefits of these actions?
It just shows me there is nothing worth saving in DC, other than our Constitution.
But yeah. It’s both parties except for some guys like Cruz.
Voting is for losers. My family showed up in downtown Seattle when Hillary came trying to push her health care gauntlet. We and about 3,500 like minded americans changed the course of history that day and nobody voted.
On a side note, regardint national politics, I went from one state where my vote makes to difference to another where it makes no difference - but for the opposite reason. :-)
Could this be Beck’s “bombshell?”
This is how we lost the republic. I haven't read or heard one quote from this guy that has even the slightest bit of reverence for obama, but dares speak ill of lord-god bush so he's obviously a soros operative.
See, we lost this country because the jackholes in that fever swamp on the Potomac and their stenographers on tee vee, radio and print have turned gross violations of our God given rights into some damned retarded football game where you are either team red or team blue.
What makes you think they wanted to stop it? As J Edgar Hoover knew, collect dirt on EVERYONE. Your allies can turn on you, you never know...

Bingo!
We're all so blinded by partisanship that we're not willing to just say "this is evil regardless of who does it".
