By the unjust 'laws' and federal and Presidential 'regulations' now, and in place during the past administration, it is NOT illegal to eavesdrop electronically on any US citizen talking to a foreign national. [i.e., talking to a Russian no matter where they are, is not illegal to record both sides of a conversation/email/meeting/etc]. Despite it being technically illegal to do so for US citizens NOT conversing with foreign nationals, the NSA does so anyway...and not just sometimes, but ALL THE TIME [i.e. every email/call/meeting/etc. they can get on anyone.] So, as I have said before, NO ONE had to 'ask' for info on what Trump and his pals/surrogates/team were doing vis-a-vis: Russia or Russians. It was/is all in the databank in Utah. On the claim of 'national security' by the President [and others] it could be pulled, listened to, watched or gotten in transcribed format. Now, Trump can I assume get that on Obama or anyone else he doesn't much like. This whole meme of 'wiretapping of X or Y] is a fiction. Everyone is monitored and those who communicate with foreigners - whether they are in country or out, it is 'legal'. They don't care about legality and look at, listen to, and watch the actions of those who also are only communicating with other US citizens. There is no privacy. The Emperor has no clothes. Past and current Emperors included.
I totally agree Peter. Brave New World has been here a long time. But still it is shocking to see that the f'ing NSA is wiretapping members of the Supreme Court.
