Court Criticized Obama for Illegal Spying on US Citizens

While everyone is talking about how terrible and “sketchy” things they think Trump has done, I think it’s important to discuss the illegal things President Obama did.

Why is this important? Because it involves everyone in the United States and not some liberal conspiracy theory that Trump may or may not have done something with Russia.

Recently declassified documents from the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court show that American intelligence agencies violated the 4th Amendment by spying on the American people illegally.

In a 99-page opinion, Judge Rosemary Collyer berated the Obama administration for failing to obey laws that protect the privacy of the American people, such as the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act.

From Breitbart:

Collyer declared that the previous administration’s cavalier violations of Section 702’s requirements created “a very serious Fourth Amendment issue.”

Collyer sharply criticized the National Security Agency’s inspector general and the NSA’s Office of Compliance for Operations for their “institutional ‘lack of candor,’” signaling that in addition to ignoring legal constraints, the Obama administration was not being honest with the court about its violations of federal law.

Will this ever go to court? Absolutely not. Obama and his entire administration are protected by the simple fact that they are progressive liberals. Nothing they do will be considered “bad” or “wrong” by their standards and if you believe so, well, you just want to help the terrorists by making it impossible to catch them. You know, the emotional rhetoric that they always trot out when they want to get their way.

The FBI was also targeted in the opinion, being accused of distributing “raw FISA data” to many within the department, including private contractors who had absolutely no business having the information.

This should be investigated by the Trump administration. Obama should not get let off the hook.
