Rubio: US snooping on allies 'might be worse' than reported

An issue is that Obama is front guy for our enemies and he uses our resources - including any intelligence gathering ( spying) against us and our allies. Including spying on our congress- critters — is it any wonder not a single one of them has even filed a one- paragraph article of impeachment against the illegal infiltrator in chief? He’s got tapes of them and their concubines and taking bribes, etc.

Shouldn’t the Rube be spending more time in DC fixing this?

By finding out the ‘Who,’ and following the $$, 0bama can bring to bear the force of his intel services on Congressmen and others. “Nice little family/bank or stock account/ set of sports cars or horses ...you have their, insert_name. Be a shame if something happened to them...”

Alternatively, bills could be ‘held up’ if certain Congressmen don’t discontinue their support for Y program that benefits Israel.

Maybe Rubio’s in on it. Payback.

“this is an issue that we’ll keep a close eye on,” he said.

Congress should act.

But I don’t think they will.

Co trees has only enabled and protected the enemy in chief for the last seven years. All of them

How would Rubio know? he stopped reporting for duty months ago.

[ColdOne]

He is going to destroy it all before he leaves. They won’t forget or look over a thing.

[sunrise_sunset]

They are creating a smokescreen for the spying and blackmail of leading Congressmen.

[ColdOne]

They have on 300 or so days left to do many more things sadly.

Everyone spies on everyone else. The problem is if he’s doing it to crush our allies. We know who’s side he’s playing on.

Thanks for the ping.

:o)

[LucyT]

You’re welcome; there’ll be more.

[glock rocks]

Excellent. </Monty Burns>

They're going to "keep a close eye on it"?????

That's the best they can muster?

[TontoKowalski]

I've got no problems with spying on foreign governments.

That said, classifying the Iran Deal as "vital to national security" is laughable. At least in the way the White House means it.

I have a huge problem when the spying includes intercepting Congressional phone calls and/or emails. The Congress is a co-equal branch of government.

Would the White House have any problems with the Speaker of the House intercepting the President's phone calls?

Rubios charge is ridiculous. We spy on all foreigners, allies included. It is only recently that we started spying domestically on citizens.
