From Donald Trump’s perspective, the intelligence operation directed against his presidential campaign is “one of the biggest political scandals in U.S. history.”
The Donald doesn’t like to read. He prefers his information in small digestible chunks, delivered verbally by aides, who are increasingly neocon in orientation. Fox News is his primary source of political information.
It really came into its own in the 1960s when COINTELPRO began “neutralizing” (as FBI boss Hoover put it) opposition to the establishment. Thousands of citizens were victimized by this illegal operation and others, including Operation CHAOS run by the CIA.
The NSA has perfected the art of surveillance—reading our emails, chats, DMs, texts, following us around on the web, and listening in and tracking our phones, which are described as “smart.”
For Donald Trump, this massive unconstitutional surveillance is not a problem.
In January he signed into law a bill renewing the NSA’s warrantless internet surveillance program. For the president, there are different kinds of surveillance—the kind that concerns him, and the other kind that victimizes the rest of us.
“This is NOT the same FISA law that was so wrongly abused during the election,” Trump tweeted after signing the bill. “I will always do the right thing for our country and put the safety of the American people first!”
