Sharyl Attkisson: Presidents CAN authorize ILLEGAL surveillance and nobody would ever know! |
2017-03-17 |
[Right Scoop] Sharyl Attkisson was on with Fox and Friends this morning discussing the different ways president can surveil someone in the wake of Trump’s accusation that Obama had him surveilled. First she tells her story about Obama surveilling her, but then says something at the end of the interview that caught my attention: "Here’s a really strange, weird thing that a source firsthand has told me. Presidents can issue directives that make legal or allow people to do things that are otherwise illegal ‐ almost anything." Wow. If this is true, then what’s the point of a FISA court? It sounds like the President can just have someone surveilled and no one would ever know because everyone involved has permission to lie about it. |

#2 That means we would never know about it... Presumably that would include POTUS and the rest of the incoming administration. |
