Nope. First, the monitoring is automated--nobody is constantly listening to everything--so the call would be fully recorded until analyzed later. They already have permission to record the content of calls from certain phones that are pre-approved intelligence objectives.

It's no secret.
And Flynn knows that. The Feds say there was nothing with the content of the calls either. All this before he joined the team too. The feds released the content to Trump, Flynn had lied, so Trump fired him. I'm just saying that they are monitoring and leaking now, so there's no telling what they did during the campaign.

Where is the outrage?
So how does that explain some members of the GOP Senate and House also taking a hard stance against this? Are they working for Obama too?

Yesterday, I would have said this claim is a little out there. After looking at transcripts today, it's pretty apparent his administration is bugged. So, who knows, perhaps they monitored the campaign too. At this point, I don't know that Obama was/is in on it. I'm guessing someone he appointed hired some really bad guys.
It's like both sides of the aisle don't like Trump behind closed doors.....

Ugh! Why are people okay with that? It isn't some movie. This is real life, and the American people should not wish for or condone the intelligence community to go to war with the POTUS. This is beyond whether you think Trump is a good president or not. This is just wrong. We have all become so cynical that we just sit back and expect this stuff, when it used to be something we would fight against.

Are you kidding me?

It's the medias fault
I used love the leaks, but now I hate the leaks- it's now the media's fault
I hate the intelligence community, then I loved them- they were the best, but now I hate them again.
The story is false, but the leaks are real. It's the medias fault
Look at that crowd size- biggest ever for an inauguration. The media didn't report it- it's their fault.
My labor Secretary was picked on by the media. It's the media's fault
My travel ban was rolled out perfectly. It was the media's fault there was chaos.
I inherited a mess it was Obama's fault.
The intelligence community is Obama's fault.
Hillary is to blame for Russia. I never talked to them. It's the media in it with Hillary.

Need I go on? It's all a bunch of big fat whiny RWNJ's that can't seem to grasp Trump is blithering idiot.
