Barack Obama’s spy games ignored by yawning media
Barack Obama, the president who rode a wave of promises for uber-transparency into eight years at the White House, has apparently been — well, not.
Lucy, I think you got some ‘splainin’ to do.
Frankly put, the guy’s just been dinged by courts for letting his intel agencies conduct tons of illegal surveillance.
What’s more: the same source that chided Obama has given high kudos to President Donald Trump for upholding American citizens’ Fourth Amendment rights.
Specifically, the Office of the Director of National Intelligence just declassified a ruling from the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court of Review — the FISA court that hears appeals about cases involving secret government monitoring of those on U.S. soil. And what that declassified document showed was that the Fourth Amendment rights of numerous American citizens were violated during the last year of Obama’s administration.
