Democrats are snapping like twigs all over the douchebag-o-sphere.
(Politico) Members of the Donald Trump transition team, possibly including Trump himself, were under U.S. government surveillance following November’s presidential election, House Intelligence Chairman Devin Nunes (R-Calif.) told reporters Wednesday.
It get’s worse for Democrats.
Nunes said the monitoring appeared to be done legally as a result of what’s called “incidental collection,” but said he was concerned because it was not related to the FBI’s investigation into Russia’s meddling in the election and was widely disseminated across the intelligence community.
Any legal incidental collection is typically ignored. When it is widely disseminated by the opposing party President and turns up in political hit pieces against his parties opponent, we enter into ugly territory where the uses of that wiretapping are illegal. It suggests a deliberate conspiracy, invites RICO charges and offers a broad range of opportunity for whistleblowers to make deals to avoid time in Federal prison where there are no safe spaces or trigger warnings.
High-ranking Obama officials would have to explain how or why rules for incidental collection went out the window because it was the opposing presidential candidate.
If true, Trump would be right, again.
Trump would be right, again.
The lefty media would be hung out to dry, again.
Democrats who’ve been swearing up and down that Trump is lying would be proven wrong again.
Even more of America might notice.
I hope that’s what happens. I really do.
