All that's left now is for all of our lefties to just finally admit they're OK with Spying

Yet, somehow I doubt a single one of those frickers is going to say, "ya know, this shite probably ain't a good thing even if it favored my team"

Do you not understand that Trump had SEX?? Get this through your head!!

They should have been cool with Watergate then, it was just spying.

What they have demonstrated they're ok with now makes Watergate look like a campaign commercial.

Obama makes George Bush look like Ron Paul when it comes to surveillance. The inner-authoritarianism of progressive politics has been exposed. They not only don't care about spying, they're cheerleading that it was done. And the worst thing is, if the government is doing this to Presidential candidates, what can they do the average Joe, about whom liberals claim to represent?

What we've learned since Donald Trump took office:

Progressives have no problems defending and supporting:

Illegal immigrants over actual US citizens
Selective application of laws
Completely open borders
Hamas
MS-13
Weaponized Federal Government against private citizens
The Intellegence Community violating the constitution to spy on political opponents


It confounds me that anyone could continue to support and align with these progressive politicians and ideals. It is absolutely mind bendingly absurd to me that multiple National News Outlets are publicly and happily defending North Korea, Hamas, and MS13 with no push back and no shame. That's fricking insane. It's legitimately indescribably terrifying to me the state political discourse has reached in this country.

The question is did the FBI have enough information to begin a counterintelligence investigation.

Part and parcel of any counterintelligence investigation is to determine if foreign agents are working with American citizens.

How exactly would you do that without surveillance of and conducting interviews with Americans suspected of working with foreign agents.

Think about the size and scope of a Presidential campaign. Every modern Presidential campaign has shady characters affiliated with them. If this is the basis for an FBI counterintelligence operation using FISA wiretaps, then every campaign would be surveilled. But not every one has been.

As per Grassley, SC was predicated on suspected criminal act not a green light for a fricking counterintelligence op.

I’m okay with it if they’re also involved in a metric frickton of shady shite.

What does this mean?

And none of them at that point had ever been convicted of a crime. Forgive me for thinking that visiting a foreign country, having business ties in a foreign country or being friends with a man who has done more for transparency in American government than any politician, is justification for an FBI counterintelligence operation and FISA wiretaps. It's absolutely disgusting that we're even debating this. All of the handwringing from the left during the Bush years was a show: y'all don't give two fricks about civil liberties.
