Obama admonished by FISA court for gross misconduct and violation of the fourth amendment for almost his entire term. Nobody here cares. Shocker.

You post an article from Circa. Hahaha.

Circa which is owned by the Sinclair Broadcast Group which has openly said it wants to be further right than Brietbart. Give me a break.

Stop watching Hannity and reading far right news. It's melting your brain.
 
In the article, Rand Paul says "this is bigger than all other stories".

It's a rear guard action to distract the base since the Kimdotcom/Rich conspiracy fell apart.

They propably have a few of these doozies in the cue to feed the Trumpanzees.
 
The GOP candidate in the special election in Montana just bodyslammed a reporter who asked him his feelings on the Health Care Bill

2 things....

Obama is no longer the president. You seem to have a pre occupation with people who don't have the current capacity to affect your life, as long as they have a D next to their names.

Second....obama era privacy policies has had a shit ton written about it, and a lot of that came from the disappointed left.
 
Now, this is getting ridiculous and somebody needs to be doing some serious time in Leavenworth.

I get the inclination to piss on your opponent's parade if you really are convinced you are on the side of the angels. But this level of leaking isn't just hurting Trump and the Republicans. It is destroying the trust in the entire security system. These leaks are far more damaging than anything Trump could do himself. They can bring down the whole National Security/Intelligence Community apparatus on which the Western system relies.

These leakers aren't bringing down Trump. They are doing the very thing that Trump is accused of - serving the interests of foreign powers.

I guess the good news is that the leakers have to be exposing themselves with the speed of the leaks and the nature of the sources.

The bad news is, with all sides discredited in this battle, the bureaucrats are not trusted by the politicians or the public, the Democrats and the Republicans in the House and Senate as well as the bureaucracy are all about partisanship and Donald Trump has been effectively eviscerated by the press (rightly or wrongly) who is in a position to clean house? Is there a house left to clean now or is the entire system so heavily politicized as to to be irredeemable?

Breaking the system and building back up again will leave a huge gap for a long time.

Pictures leaked 'after being shared with US intelligence' show bomb used in Manchester attack

Gordon Rayner, political editor Robert Mendick, chief reporter

The rucksack bomb that killed 22 people in Manchester was so complex that it could only have been made by an expert, leaked crime scene pictures suggest, as it emerged that an al-Qaeda bomb-maker lived on the same street as suicide attacker Salman Abedi.

Photographs of bomb remnants found at the Manchester Arena show a trigger switch with a tiny circuit board soldered into the end, which experts say could point to a remote-control or timer built into the bomb to ensure an accomplice could detonate it if Abedi lost his nerve.

Investigators believe the bomb, packed with bolts and screws, was contained in a lightweight metal case carried in a black Karrimor rucksack with a blue lining. They also found the remains of a specialist 12 volt battery that is more powerful than high street brands of battery used in previous attacks.

The crime scene photographs were leaked to the New York Times after being shared with US intelligence, prompting a furious response among ministers.

My concern is that those that want Trump out at all costs are playing into the hands of those that want the Institutions of the US gone.

This is just as if not more serious than trump sharing top secret Intel with the Russian ambassador.

Exactly, for some reason (maybe this thread broke him), Habsy has decided to emulate the blowhards you see on Fox. Lumps all the "progressives" (or whatever they're called now) into a monolithic voice, when in fact there was plenty of heat on Obama from people who post here and are generally sympathetic to the Dems.
