Unmasking is supposed to be rare and only under FISA Court authority, certainly not for political oppo research.

I don't see all the anti Patriot act liberals praising this, wonder why.

Until Trump rescinds the Patriot act, it's all a big nothing burger. Domestic surveillance is institutionalized biglly....and Trump is to chicken **** to take on the big dogs.

There's $21 trillion missing from government accounting. Where did that money come from and where did it go? One logical explanation is a global network of spying.

I wonder what they are going to come up with. What are they going to say "We spy on who ever we damn well please like going after journalist that lord Obama told us to go after" Obama had more journalist and political adversaries thrown in jail than any other president combined. This is not speculation, it's confirmed that Obama used the intelligence services as a political weapon. Everyone knows this and the democrats are either ok with this or pretend that it didn't happen. Either way, they look like idiots.
