Because no President hasn't ever done anything they shouldn't. Get real!

If Obama had requested this, FBI director Comey, a Republican, would've released a statement against it. It's Trump's absurd claim, so it's really on him to provide the proof, but we all know it came from a nutty Breitbart article.

Climate change is fake? Sometimes I think someone left the macrumors forum open on a computer in a mental hospital. Jesus Christ. How did our education system fail this hard?
Much irony.

Of course, you know everything. Thanks for your insight. :rolleyes:
 
What is disgraceful is how some people suddenly start creating false equivalencies and downplaying the actions of a thuggish dictator because it helps their political side.

Hmmmm. I don't know what side you're referring to since I voted for Hillary (under duress admittedly). You want to shoot the messenger? Fine, that's your right. But I'm not so easily manipulated. The Democrstic establishment screwed Bernie over so the opportunist Hillary could be the first woman president. And now the whole world is paying the price.

Perfect. Have they sued?

Catch 22. If they sue, you'll say it's just for money. If they don't, you don't believe them because they didn't sue.

So just to be clear, you believe every bad thing about Bill Clinton, blame Hillary for her husband's behavior, but Trump is a little angel who was just jokin' despite his three marriages, bragging about his sexual conquests on Stern and Access Hollywood, and decades of women coming forward to accuse him.

Will America ever have another version of the Church commission? These intelligence agencies are entirely out of control.

I disagree. I expect (and hope) these agencies are doing this exact type of work (I wish we lived in a world where it wasn't needed. No one locked any doors and the Nigerian Prince really did just need a loan and would repay it with 1000% interest but we don't). It would be foolish to allow these agencies to not do any research on security, vulnerabilities, cryptography and other nonviolent subversive techniques. I don't see where they are actually doing this to every citizen only they have the capability. Very different things.

BTW: I don't think Google/Apple/Amazon have any obligation to make their job easier and I expect these vulnerabilities to be fixed in quick order.
 
The CIA, which gathers information outside the US, concentrates on the phone that is most popular inside the US.

You're what we in the big city call a gullible rube!

You would think Trump is a standard hypocritical Hollywood liberal elite.

I love Irony, do you know what the Stern show is?

There is no Catch-22. What I will say is irrelevant. There is a court system that works independently of what I think, and that will judge based on evidence and the law.
If they sue they don't do it because they want me to think well of them - or at least I would hope so - but because they want to see a criminal behind bars. If they are sure that he's a criminal, and don't sue because of what I might say about them, they become enablers.

Um... you don't know that suing someone doesn't result in them behind bars? That it's not a criminal charge, but a civil case. Oof.

sorry indeed, the CIA lied about WMD's among other things.

Not true. How old were you during the run up to the war? The administration cherry picked bad intel and ignored other intel the IC gave them. You should blame Chaney.

Says the gullible one. That's a hoot.

Also, may want to fix the sarcasm detector, it's clearly broken.

Signed,

Uneducated

lol, I was being sarcastic.

A case can be both criminal and civil (not in the same court, obviously)
And be assured that if they win the civil case, a line of prosecutors will form to get Trump behind bars.

Wikileaks can get CIA secrets but can't get something as simple as Trump's tax returns. lol!


Wikileaks doesn't 'get' anything. They are GIVEN information when they then publish.

Your assumption which isn't based on any facts is that they were given Trump's tax return and have yet to publish it.

And yet people are saying Trump must be lying when he says he was wiretapped.

Actually most people (his deplorable idiot voters excluded, of course) are simply waiting for evidence of his claims that "Obama wire tapped him".
