Note to Dems, Lefties, "Progressives", et al: National Security is NOT a game

It's real, it's a serious matter, and you need to stop trying to use it to make political points.

Excerpt:


"Further, agents were able to corroborate the intelligence provided by the informant through, yes, electronic surveillance — in this case, recordings the informant agreed to make of conversations in which he participated. This eavesdropping — or “domestic spying,” as the Left likes to deride it — specifically targeted people inside the United States, and was carried out in the absence of any court supervision or showing of probable cause.

All this was perfectly legal under federal law, which has long permitted the government to conduct warrantless monitoring of any conversation in which one of the participants consents to the eavesdropping—even if that participant happens to be an FBI informant."
