The NSA needs to be brought to heel

It can't be. Once the horse is out of the barn, there's not putting him back in. Sure, Trump can order them and all agencies not to do it but they'll continue anyway.

Eight years ago, during the BC researches, I know "they" were spying and crashed at least one of my computers.

No doubt "they" could overthrow a government.

Yeah, I’ve heard our phones supposedly have this capability. Disconcerting!

Not just phones but smart TV's as well. That's why my TV is as dumb as toaster.

Smart TV. Can be easily switch on by hackers.

There was actually a denial-of-service attack last year using internet connected household appliances ("Internet Of Things" devices). The attack brought down DynDNS servers for several hours.

Yeah, didn’t think the mic could be covered sufficiently. Guess I have to go back to dissing Obama in code. ;)

NSA works for the President. Anyone doing this risks serious jail time at a minimum.

Take off the rose colored glasses.

If they can do all of that to Sharyl Attkisson, they can do it to Donald Trump too.

It wasn't just Trump, or Sessions, or Attkisson, or Rosen. It was HUNDREDS of Americans that the Obama Admin /DNC used surveillance on for political purposes . Jeh Johnson authorized the use of wiretapping of those people under the guise that the 'election' was a NATIONAL SECURITY ISSUE.

Obama Just Federalized U.S. Elections By Authorizing Homeland Security Control

Idiots who buy a phone without a removable battery are inviting this.

People in power are jealous of their power. They work very hard to insure that their own tools are not used against them.

If you think there are no political controls by the President to make sure that renegade NSA types have serious risks if they use their tools against the executive branch, you are being naive.

It is much, much easier for a president to punish people in the NSA than it is for people in the NSA to punish a president.

Obama tried to silence these able columnists also. This is Obama's world, the one he is trying to get back through his seditious and treasonous behavior.

Sharyl Attkisson...."Stonewalled" Seasoned CBS reporter Sharyl Attkisson reveals how she has been electronically surveilled while digging deep into the Obama Administration and its scandals, and offers an incisive critique of her industry and the shrinking role of investigative journalism in today’s media. Her latest: "Smear": How Shady Political Operatives and Fake News Control What You See, What You Think,

Kirsten Powers "The Silencing: How the Left is Killing Free Speech" Lifelong liberal Kirsten Powers blasts the Left's forced march towards conformity in an exposé of the illiberal war on free speech. No longer champions of tolerance and free speech, the "illiberal Left" now viciously attacks and silences anyone with alternative points of view. Powers asks, "What ever happened to free speech in America?"

Kim Strassel: "The Intimidation Game" From Kim Strassel, one of the preeminent political colum8ists writing today and ember of the WSJ editorial board, comes an insight, alarming look at how the Left, once the champion of civil liberties, is today orchestrating a coordinated campaign to bully Americans out of free speech.

The Left/Marxists have truly ramped up their efforts to remove President Trump from office....the American citizens cannot let this continue...CALL YOUR CONGRESSMEN AND YOUR SENATORS - DEMAND THEY PUT A STOP TO THIS OBAMA COUP! THEY PROMISED/SWORE TO DEFEND AND PROTECT THE CONSTITUTION....DO IT!

I highly suspect Obie had Romney and his people tapped during 2012 election process as well.

I can’t stand Romney, but I always thought it strange how he was ahead with a full head of steam, then suddenly, he rolled over like a kicked pup.

Good advice!

Last time I saw Kirsten Powers running her mouth, she had flipped back to her old Democrat-ways.

“Idiots who buy a phone without a removable battery are inviting this.”

Whoa, hold on there pardner, I’m one of those millions of people you’re classifying as “idiot”. As a previous poster mentioned, a phone (or other device) can easily be placed in a faraday cage to block all signal. This can be accomplished as easily as placing the device in a microwave oven (no joke), wrapping it in foil, using an old potato chip bag, or buy purchasing and using one of many of the very affordable bags designed for just this purpose.

Some of the first faraday cages for phones and other small computer devices were originally designed to thwart hackers seeking financial and credit card data they would steal just by getting close enough to the targeted device in a public place, using a compact, wireless, hacking tool to retrieve the info in a matter of seconds. People concerned about becoming victims of such found it much quicker and easier and faster to just place their smartphones in a faraday bag rather than having to go through removal of the battery and the whole start up process.
