#1 If true (and I don't doubt it) that entire gang needs to be arrested, tried and jailed. Let them get away with this and the lawlessness will never stop.

#2 The spying MAY be legal and appropriate to a point, if warrants were obtained, and especially if claims of Trump campaign collusion with Russia can be supported. The leaks and misuse of the data are crimes though.

#3 The spying MAY be legal and appropriate to a point, if warrants were obtained...

Lying on warrant requests to get where you really want to go is NOT legal. These people need to be put under the jail. And just to send a message, a few need to have unexpected accidents.

We are at war, the Left is full on treasonous, these actions go way past political differences.

#6 FreeBeacon:
"The incidental collection, subsequent dissemination, and unmasking of individuals related to the presidential transition team needs to be carefully investigated as there are real concerns about whether minimization procedures were appropriately followed," he added.

Intelligence agencies are authorized to spy on foreign targets under two different authorities. One authority is the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court, a special federal court, and the second is a presidential directive known as Executive Order 12333.

Electronic surveillance under the executive order does not require court approval.


Nunes said some of the information in the reports was of questionable intelligence value.

"But, look, I think the bottom line here is that President Trump, to some degree, is right that he did end up in some intelligence reports and I don't think he knew about it,"

#7 If these things are true, then this is even bigger than Nixon/Watergate and the abuse of the NSA back then. At least according to what I read about in non-PC history books.

#8 Hope Montgomery is watching his back. He might be safer at the Ecuadorean embassy.

This fellow is convinced Brennan and Zero are at the bottom of this, and so am I.
