There are no US laws against foreign countries spying on us. We can give administrative access to our communications to other countries to spy on us, circumventing all of those nasty laws we have the would prevent such activity that would otherwise need court approval. Listening in on all Trump activities becomes a piece of cake when you don’t even need to get FISA permission, but it does open the number of people in contact with the information that might just do you in if it is found out.
I have no doubt both Five Eyes and FISA access were just part of the massive intelligence gathering that was being done on Trump and all other potential office holders.
It’s very similar to Bill Clinton and the 700 FBI files on media and Congress. Why would a bouncer without security clearance (Craig Livingstone) have such files for a year? It took him that long to copy and mine them for all they were worth. Clinton has that information to this day, which is partly why everyone supported her over Trump.
We need a cathartic series of hangings on pay per view.
900 files
“There are no US laws against foreign countries spying on us. We can give administrative access to our communications to other countries to spy on us, circumventing all of those nasty laws we have the would prevent such activity that would otherwise need court approval.”
It’s still a pretext and would be illegal if we actually lived under rule of law. If a cop asked a neighborhood burglar to break into your house and search for your pot stash, and then report his findings back to you, we would never tolerate this and NOBODY would see it as legal. It is pure sophistry of the worst sort.
5 eyes as a method to evade US law is still illegal domestic spying. No matter what BS 3rd grade mentality excuses they use to “explain” that it’s legal.
No matter how they dress it up, 5 eyes is a device constructed by US intelligence to conduct illegal domestic spying. There is nothing legal about it.
Bingo!! It was 900 files then....now it’s files on EVERYONE!
—— and all other potential office holders——
Ihave been trying to make that point for a long time but it just doesn’t register in the anti sessions blather.
The universal extent of those being surveiled is held close to the trump vest. T h presstitutes dare not go there on literal pain ofdeath. Seth Rich is the example
Duh!
