If true, and I bet it is, is it criminal and can obama and others under him during his admin be prosecuted for their crimes?

This really the bottom line. We know obama committed and unknown number of crimes but he was shielded by he underlings for most of them. Why are they not being arrested, persecuted, and sentenced?

“Basic question for everyone: Who monitors this? Who checks what the NSA reports?

Do you seriously think this is the actual number of violations being reported”?

I doubt if anyone checks or even closely monitors what the NSA reports. Instead, what is reported is closely scrutinized and okayed.

Only the tip of the iceberg is ever “reported”.

Destroying the results of the illegal searches is nothing if not Obstruction of the law.

Of course, we know that the neo-fascism this illustrates goes much deeper than they have admitted.

Contact your congressmen and tell them to forget the Russia fraud, this is something that demands their full attention.

Basic answer is NO one really has a handle on all the intelligence gathering, dirty tricks and schemes in general.

When the CIA-Mafia attempts to kill Castro became public, some were so secret that not even the Director knew about them. Compartmentalization is so extreme that some plots work against another plot by elements of the Agency. This is how you get CIA funding of Castro and Batista.

In the later plots not only were the Kennedys unaware of them continuing but one or more continued despite explicit orders from JFK to stop.

Secrecy is Power and won’t be given up without a big fight.

Whose ass have you been on about the Russia Fraud? Start with the members of the House and Senate Intelligence Committees. Make it clear to the Republicans that this has to stop.

James Rosen and Sharyl Akkisson, for starters.

How many acts of treason or other felonies has Team Obama gotten away with as of THIS revelation? I think it's 1,063 and counting?

“The NSA acknowledged it self-disclosed the mass violations to the court last fall and that in April it took the extraordinary step of suspending the type of searches that were violating the rules, even deleting prior collected data on Americans to avoid any further violations.”

Because Trump had won and they had already made copies of all the information they needed on people.

Like anything else Fedzilla that isn’t annihilated (just ‘down-sized’), they will wait for the next administration to turn a blind-eye and flip the switch ON again...

Nobody jailed, nobody fired, nobody in from of Congress.

"The American Civil Liberties Union said the newly disclosed violations are some of the most serious to ever be documented and strongly call into question the U.S. intelligence community’s ability to police itself and safeguard American’s privacy as guaranteed by the Constitution’s Fourth Amendment protections against unlawful search and seizure."

I am of the opinion that the LAST thing in the world the ACLU would be worried about is MY civil liberties....

I don't trust or believe anything these people have to say.... In fact, I believe them to be a terrorist organization...

“The NSA conducts thousand of searches a year on data involving Americans and the actual numbers of violations were redacted from the documents Circa reviewed.”

What a crock! The NSA performs millions or billions of searches per day—each “search request” constitutes an incalculable number of individual searches.

If I take a single document from each of 100 locations, and stack them in one pile to read, that doesn’t mean I have performed one search. People have no idea what our government does on a regular basis.

...even deleting prior collected data on Americans to avoid any further violations[prevent investigators from finding out who was the target of Obama admin spying].”

I believe this article reveals the real reason for all of the “Russia, Russia, Russia, crap. The leakers are leading the media around by the nose so they will only report on Russia matters. Circa is reporting on the real story and the real crimes. The real crimes are of the illegal surveillance and unmasking of American citizens by certain people in the Intelligence Community. Circa has been on the leading edge of this story for weeks.

I hope Circa will be able to find time to look into the affairs of the Awan brothers and their involvement in the theft of computers, data, etc., from Democratic House Members of the Intelligence and other committees. That is yet another fire burning that you cant see for the smoke screen of the daily Russian narrative.

So if none of these Americans are suspected of actual crimes or have ties to actual terrorists, then the names of these Americans should be released to the victims of this violation of their Fourth Amendment rights.
