Reports in unmasking controversy were detailed, had info about 'everyday lives'
Fox News, Apr 5, 2017, Catherine Herridge, Pamela K. Browne   

The intelligence reports at the center of the Susan Rice unmasking controversy were detailed, and almost resembled a private investigator’s file, according to a Republican congressman familiar with the documents.

"This is information about their everyday lives," Rep. Peter King of New York, a member of the House Intelligence committee said. "Sort of like in a divorce case where lawyers are hired, investigators are hired just to find out what the other person is doing from morning until night and then you try to piece it together later on.”

On the House Intelligence Committee, only the Republican chairman, Devin Nunes of California, and the ranking Democrat Adam Schiff, also of California, have personally reviewed the intelligence reports. Some members were given broad outlines.

Nunes has consistently stated that the files caused him deep concern because the unmasking went beyond the former national security adviser Mike Flynn, and the information was not related to Moscow.

Don't worry. The Trump haters will be here any moment to tell us that this is alright because A) we can't expect privacy anymore, B) Flynn obviously deserved this because he was fired or C) all this doesn't matter because Donny said "wiretapping" and this isn't that in the technical sense.

Does anyone still doubt the US Intelligence community was used  by the previous Democrat administration to spy on candidate Trump, President-elect Trump, his family and inner circle with the goal of destroying their political opposition?

Does anyone think this isn't a felony?

It isn't if they can get away with it.  The practice will just become precedent.

Felonies are only for us little people.

Just ask Hillary.

Actually, a Washington Post columnist defended Susan Rice by saying that this surveillance was part of her job and if she deems American citzens to be a threat to national security, it would be negligent of her not to closely follow the suspects.

What was not explained is how Trump and associates meet that criteria.

Then Pete King needs to lose his job.

He's been a consistent vote in favor of surveillance of nobodies like you and me for years.

I agree that King should lose his job.

Yeah that fourth amendment is so quaint.

This assertion is questionable since we're now learning that the unmasking had nothing to do with Russia and everything to do with the Trump inner circle, including his family--monitored from sun up to sun down.
