Now the order did not go into effect until December 2016. But it's obviously not the case that Obama came up with the idea to permit data sharing among agencies prior to Russian involvement in the 2016 campaign.
I'm not sure why this matters anyway. If Trump did nothing wrong, then he has nothing to worry about. What do you think he doesn't want people to find out?
"He didn't do that "his last days in office." He did that in February 2016, which was about a year before his last day in office."
I think you need to loosen you need to loosen tose to tight banjo strings.
Note the DATE of the article.
" Why Is Obama Expanding Surveillance Powers Right Before He Leaves Office?
It could be to prevent Trump from extending them even more.The Obama administration made it easier for the NSA to share information with other intelligence agencies, just weeks before the inauguration. Jonathan Ernst / Reuters
"On Thursday, the Obama administration finalized new rules that allow the National Security Agency to share information it gleans from its vast international surveillance apparatus with the 16 other agencies that make up the U.S. intelligence community."
"With the new changes, which were long in the works, those agencies can apply for access to various feeds of raw, undoctored NSA intelligence. Analysts will then be able to sift through the contents of those feeds as they see fit, before implementing required privacy protections. Previously, the NSA applied those privacy protections itself, before forwarding select pieces of information to agencies that might need to see them."
"The updated procedures will multiply the number of intelligence analysts who have access to NSA surveillance"
This thread is about the current POTUS and his supposed unintentional contact with the Russians .
Kind of hard to believe when his SOS and head of Commerce have problems showing up in their back grounds. Then you add on a campaign head and a NSA director. Then you have a House Intell. comm. head talking about things he was able to figure out while he was involved and talking about classified information.
This is of course after he complained about leaks. That is classic.
"This thread is about the current POTUS and his supposed unintentional contact with the Russians ."
Sure it is. Has to do with the Left using dirty and illegal tricks, same as they did all during the election. Just like all Liberals sticking their heads in the sand when some one points out a defect in their character. Love it. Trump knows exactly what he is doing and when to do it, and the Dems can't keep up. He is always a dozen steps ahead, and all they can do is keep freaking out.
If that is so, then why can't you seem to stay on topic?
And your pretending it didn't exist, when it was just announced on National TV by Nunes that, that in fact, it did exist. You can play with words all you want, like some one saying "some" does not mean the same thing as "few" but that doesn't change the facts. Your just presenting smoke and mirrors when you do that. We do know that a lot of the intercepted communications had nothing to do with Russia, and Nunes confirmed that. Thats undeniable proof that Trump and his people involved in the election transition where, in fact, the Targets of the interceptions. You can't talk that away.
It's chilling to me that OUR own government would use our intel sources to target the opposition party. This is far worse, and sounds like it runs deeper with more serious implications, than Watergate.
It seems that the more that comes out about this, the more the MSM focuses on their fabricated "Russian connection" which, by the way, has been confirmed not to exist.
One has to wonder if any Housemembers from the GOP have a spine? Just wondering because they are acting like spineless jellyfish with respect to investigating this administration's relationship with Russia.
Devin Nunes(R-CA) runs to the White House to share with the very people the FBI is investigating, intel that he hadnt even shared with the house intel committee, which he heads.
What the bloody hell is that all about?
He thought it would squash the investigations? No not at all-if anything he exposes himself as a partisan shill and incapable of objectivity or at least respect for the office he holds.
Someone will go to jail. I really hope it's comey.
FBI director to jail?
