In reply to the discussion: Jimmy Carter Hands John McCain His Ass [View all]Hekate
(100,133 posts)10. KnR thanks so much for the link. I only caught fragments of the Ronan Farrow interview...
...and really want to watch the entire thing.
Pres. Carter's statements on govt spying were remarkable. He keeps a correspondence going with a variety of world leaders, but never ever uses email. As he pointed out, Uncle Sam tells Americans that their email is not read by govt spies, but what they don't say is that all emails are stored, so that at the time of their choosing those emails can be read.
So the former POTUS has typewritten letters put into envelopes, stamped, and mailed from a US Post Office.
He's an amazing man.

I think it was more the George H W Bush CIA that decided to make Carter pay.

Oddly enough, the U.S. Postal Service is still more Constitutionally protected....
