Sounds like this is where it all got started. Wiretapping everyone for politics. Then they learned they could wire tap Americans when they were wiretapping Israel over opposition to the Iran deal, because Americans talked to people in Israel about the deal.
“Barack Obama ‘approved tapping Angela Merkel’s phone 3 years ago’
President Barack Obama was told about monitoring of German Chancellor in 2010 and allowed it to continue, says German newspaper”
If that’s scandalous to you, this will really knock your socks off: There are plans to invade Germany in the back of a drawer in the Pentagon somewhere.
The question is, do you think it’s okay for our government to be spying on the American people, if the actual deed is simply farmed out to private contractors?
Ah, but the New York Times reported Germany dropped the inquiry into the wiretapping because of lack of evidence. So your whole point falls flatter than Trump’s intelligence.
