Lest we forget the threat represented by the Obama administration:

Proof of “significant non-compliance” with procedures designed to protect Fouth Amendment rights of American citizens:

Let me ask you a question, this has been occurring over multiple presidencies, yet you seem to focus only on Obama in your original post.

Why is that?

I'm not trying to be funny, but you seem to have a peculiar obsession with Barack Obama. Not Clinton, not Bush 1 and 2, but Obama.

Very strange. Do you need a hug for your obsession?

The views expressed by contributors are their own and not the view of The Hill.

Thank, God. Because that's really a stupid article on so many levels.

Item: Joe Nacchio was a crook. I lived in Colorado when he was running Qwest and personally knew people working under him in finance and accounting.

Item: If you or anyone else contacts or is contacted by someone being investigated for espionage YOU are going to be "surveilled." Same for any foreign person or government official of interest to the intelligence community. Maybe even foreign "dignitaries" attending the Olympics, because might it occur to foreign intelligence services to use that otherwise benign "opportunity"? :rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes:

Item: Journalist witch hunts involving John Brennan BEFORE he went to CIA is a pathetically lame and vague charge. And.....hey, wait. I thought the media was a liberal tool which you largely hated? Whose side are you on?

Item: The "false" testimony of James Clapper resulting in the treachery of James Snowden is perhaps the single most despicable and damaging intelligence fiasco in the last 100 years and it rests squarely in the lap of Senator Ron Wyden of Oregon who orchestrated it. As a member of the Senate intelligence committee, Wyden knew of and long opposed the NSA highly classified telephony metadata collection program. But he could never get it shut down legally. He didn't have the votes within the committee even in a Democratic Congress. So the motherfucker sandbagged Clapper in an open committee hearing setting the stage for a hopelessly naive Snowden, who obviously knew Clapper "lied," to launch his campaign of moral outrage.

Apparently, it never occurred or didn't matter to these two little bastards that intelligence employees entrusted with the details of an intelligence program or operation whose very existence is not to be revealed has no recourse but to "lie" when asked about it.

Wyden and Snowden are worse than pricks. And every "commentator" who resurrects this story with an accusatory slant toward James Clapper is also either worse than a prick or, more likely, merely a certifiable dumb fuck who hasn't bothered to research the backstory.

Item: Accessing intelligence computers of Congressional staffers was, indeed, "inappropriate." But left out of little Sharyl's story was the fact that it was being done because those same staffers were reasonably believed to be violating their security oaths. But, yes, that investigation should have been handled by FBI and no one else.

In short, intelligence agency "excesses" did not start with nor did they reach their depth of depravity under the Obama administration. For that you would have to go back to the mid-fifties under Eisenhower.

And he had no idea what the fuck they were doing either.

In the meantime, I wish libs and conservatives would make up their minds if they WANT intelligence agencies working for this country and, if so, have the ethical integrity to defend them when they operate at the very edges of the law domestically and then obviously VIOLATE the laws of OTHER COUNTRIES when they operate internationally. Regardless of which Presidential administration they serve under.

I really don't think that's too much to ask.

Shush, let him carry on with his Obama infatuation. ;)

Obama reminds them of the failure of their current Prez.

It's totally not because he's a racist fucktard. Totally.

Did you even read that crap or just get suckered in by the punchy headline? Typical vettebitch behaviour.
 
The author of the editorial has quite a page over on media matters documenting her journalistic atrocities. Her disregard for pesky inconvenient facts seems to be almost AJ-like.

Seems like she was "but...but...BENGHAZI!" even before Vetteman.

I'm not going to globally tar and feather journalists for their reporting even when their biases, whether liberal or conservative, are well-known. I'll wait and do it on a case-by-case, or as you have, occasionally a reporter-by-reporter basis.

But, yeah, that "story" really stunk.
