Report: Obama’s NSA Spied on Congress & American Jewish Organizations
breitbart ^ | december 29, 2015 | JORDAN SCHACHTEL

In the midst of its espionage operations against the State of Israel, the Obama administration's National Security Agency (NSA) listened in on private conversations conducted with members of the U.S. Congress and American-Jewish groups, a late Tuesday report in the Wall Street Journal reveals.

The NSA operations revealed to President Obama that Israeli officials had coordinated on messaging with U.S. Jewish groups that had come out against the Iran nuclear deal, the report says, citing unnamed officials familiar with the espionage operations.

At the time, President Obama was facing a wave of criticism from European leaders-such as French President Francois Hollande and German Chancellor Angela Merkel-regarding allegations of NSA spying operations against their respective countries. This, however, did not stop him from ordering spy agencies to continue their operations against Israel, claiming they served a "compelling national security purpose," according to the WSJ report.

Thereafter, the President successfully wired the office of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, as the two leaders fell on opposite sides of the Iran nuclear deal.

“the Obama administration’s National Security Agency (NSA) listened in on private conversations conducted with members of the U.S. Congress and American-Jewish groups”

DOD agency, domestic spying on politicians who might oppose an administration policy. This is pure suppression of legitimate dissent. Folks, we have become the USSR. Patriotism today means opposing the government and any candidate who supports the NSA domestic spying.

Because, they don't know what the NSA/FBI/ CIA and Jarrett/Obama knows about them or they do know!

Nixon was a piker compared to this Traitor/Criminal.

I don’t know, I could be wrong but THIS is not what I want my hard earned money to support, this is our money and I don’t want it spent on surveilling the people I sent to DC to represent me.

‘SOME’ have morals, maybe. I’m beginning to wonder.

Obama’s the greatest president this country has ever had. To suggest otherwise would be totally racist. That’s our story, and we’re sticking with it.

Now that the Iran deal is done, I wonder if the NSA is working on global warming. The whole thing is distasteful, would be a crippling media event for a Republican President. No question the media was caught up in this wiretap as well, Israelis do speak to the press, but that appears to be a non issue. Legal as long as the calls were overseas, foolish and contrary to Obama's policy of not spying on leaders of friendly states, perhaps instructive as to his opinion of Israel. But wouldn't it be nice if the US could keep it's espionage secret. Maybe I should be encourage that employees at some level are leaking this stuff, but the leaks aren't much more confidence building than the policy.
