“This sort of thing used to be illegal until Obama relaxed privacy rules in 2011. So while it’s not technically illegal (Nunes and others think it should be), it is a clear abuse of the privilege.”

It was illegal because even the relaxed rules required judicial approval and there were restrictions on spying on Americans.

It was illegal for the government to spy on people for purely political purposes and to lie about it.

It is still illegal to do both. Democrat lawyers are trying to set up the narrative that it is no longer illegal. Obama and his boyz have numerous Criminal charges once someone grows a pair. The same victims have civil rights cases if they dare to file. Will anyone. Doubt it. all are afraid of Hillary and Obama.

Oh, I’m sure the FISA court’s APPROVED rubber-stamp was on *FIRE* w/ use. Course, being a ‘secret’ court, they’d have to kill ya after showing ya the ‘proof’.

If I had kids, I’d weep for their future.
