The spying is supported by both major parties.



fun fact:

back in 2003, after Bush's President's Surveillance Program (NSA STELLARWIND) had been up and running for 2 years, hoovering up all domestic phone calls, emails and web traffic, the whole program was so secret that you could count on your hands who outside of NSA knew it was happening.

guess who was the 9th person outside of NSA and the WH who was "read into the program" and told about NSA STELLARWIND?

House Minority leader Nancy Pelosi, that's who.

guess who was the 14th person read in?

Deputy AG James Comey.

guess who was the 17th person read in?

DOJ Criminal Division chief Chris Wray, who is now FBI Director.

every single Democrat leader who has been in DC for their entire career LOVES mass domestic surveillance. they have known about it all along and they never once blew the whistle or tried to stop it or simply resign their jobs in silent protest. they all went along with it, "just doing my job."

voting new people into office isnt going to work.


They are few and far between, but there have been a couple efforts by some of the "leaders" above to stop some of the illegal domestic surveillance programs: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_Comey#NSA_domestic_wiret...
