Donald Trump and His Ilk are Possibly the Most Surveilled Individuals in History

[Beetwasher.]

Just sayin’.

There’s a reason he knows the word FISA and it’s important to him.

1. Good God, I should hope so

The Trump administration - and his activities since then - have proved to be the worst intelligence calamity since 9/11.

So for all our sake, I hope so.

[Beetwasher.]

2. He is, Since Before He Was Elected

That’s one reason he’s so interested in all the FISA intelligence. My hope is that Obama (and his VP) on their way out had an inkling, which they should have, and perhaps compartmentalized some things, certain operations, salted documents, etc, and some of that is coming to fruition now.

4. It's beyond belief that such a clear and present danger was allowed within a mile of the White House

A real-world experiment, perhaps?

If so, I'm sure he confirmed their worst expectations.

7. I've Come to Believe the IC is Much less omnipresent and thorough than I formerly believed

8. no kidding,

he had russian spies in the Oval Office four months after his inauguration.

What more evidence should they have needed to be watching him, his spawn and the Kushners???

9. I suspect they focus too much on gathering FOREIGN intelligence, to the detriment of the domestic

Yes - some of that is absolutely essential (terrorist plots cooked up overseas, brewing wars that might affect regional stability, etc.).

But a lot of it is squandered on monitoring - and, allegedly, manipulating - petty politics in foreign countries.

And even there, they often come to the wrong conclusions - mostly because they tend to rely on "sources" with one-sided agendas (mainly right-wing).

In any case, they end up squandering untold thousands of man-hours - and millions of dollars - on what generally amount to cat fights and food fights among foreign politicians we'll never really understand anyway.

While domestic fifth-columns and anti-democratic threats (many of them richly-funded) fly under the radar.

3. Not to mention all their selfies. nt

5. He is a traitor. His phones should be tapped.

[Beetwasher.]

6. FISA

He’s very interested in it, extremely telling.

10. This Trump reality show feels like it is in the 4th season...1st POTUS...2nd Impeachment....

3rd Jan. 6....4th Classified Docs....The first couple were disappointing but I'm now ready to turn off this shit, it's getting old and move on to something else.

[Beetwasher.]

11. Indeed! I Hear You!

Living in "interesting times" it seems.

12. If one of then farts and Agent has take off his headphones

They took lindells phone at a Hardees drive thru. They had to be on him all day, to grab it there. I think they are following lots of these guys.
