Explosive Revelation of Obama Administration Illegal Surveillance of Americans
NRO ^ | May 25, 2017 | Andrew C. McCarthy

Posted on 05/25/2017 4:42:30 PM PDT by Cheerio

The NSA intentionally and routinely intercepted communications of American citizens in violation of the Constitution. During the Obama years, the National Security Agency intentionally and routinely intercepted and reviewed communications of American citizens in violation of the Constitution and of court-ordered guidelines implemented pursuant to federal law.

The unlawful surveillance appears to have been a massive abuse of the government’s foreign-intelligence-collection authority, carried out for the purpose of monitoring the communications of Americans in the United States. While aware that it was going on for an extensive period of time, the administration failed to disclose its unlawful surveillance of Americans until late October 2016, when the administration was winding down and the NSA needed to meet a court deadline in order to renew various surveillance authorities under the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA).

If this was illegal then there should be a list of names for prosecution.

Alex Jones today was saying that per his sources those illegally spied on by Obama number in the hundreds of thousands—and Trump has the hard evidence on it. Supposedly more to come out on Tuesday.

He was never eligible to be President.

"But, I’d really like to know exactly what Maxine Waters was talking about when she alluded to Obama’s new, unprecedented, massive database."

Reminder, Obama was president when Mad Max told us about the rat’s data bases on us.

Explosive Revelation of Obama Administration Illegal Surveillance of Americans

Jimmah Carter was smiling and jumped and kicked his heels at the Donald Trump Inauguration in D.C. He knew that there was another president worst than he was as our POTUS.

I could list a long list of items which is why we all voted for Donald J. Trump as POTUS this past November. Queen Hillary has so much too explain on how at least 15 to 20 Million illegal votes went for Queen Hillary!

The Fake News MSM and the Fake Pollsters should be ashamed of the big time salaries they are getting for reporting Fake News day in and day out.

I am not busting your chops, and I don't assume you don't know the difference, but one "flouts" the law, and "flaunts" fancy duds or a flashy car.

The potential investigators are bought and paid for. The swamp is broad and deep.

I don’t think you are a kook. I don’t have a smart phone and I never will. I never use Google for anything. I don’t want to have all my movements and conversations tracked. I am amazed that most Americans don’t seem to care about their privacy. Maybe they think “I don’t have anything to hide.” Maybe you don’t think you have anything to hide now, but what about in the future?

“I got nothing to hide”... “it’s none of their business” should be the motto.

Wait, I thought Obama had never stepped a foot wrong during his presidency? That’s what I’m told by Canadian Libshits all the time?

Despite the fact that he caused the current refugee disaster?

These are the same people who railed against Bushytail for attacking Iraq etc....

But it’s okay for Obumhead to do it because he’s a gaymulatto democrat.....

Donald Trump cannot let this slide. If he does he will be impeach or even killed by these socialists.

Wholesale surveillance is one thing, and a bad thing. But, I’d really like to know exactly what Maxine Waters was talking about when she alluded to Obama’s new, unprecedented, massive database.


Good point!
