So it seems former FBI Director James Comey isn’t the only one in the hot seat. Because lawmakers want to know how Americans got tapped ?just to get to foreigners. Also, Trump’s people said something interesting. So the NSA spied on how many Americans?
So there’s a change that could take place at the end of 2017. That law could allow the NSA access to major espionage. And Dan Coates, a top US intelligence official Trump hand picked, is making some interesting statements. One is, “The NSA made Herculean, extensive efforts to devise a counting strategy that would be accurate”. He’s talking about how to count how many Americans the NSA spies on. Coates also says he doesn’t and wouldn’t know how many Americans fell prey to this. And it wouldn’t even matter how many resources they would use to find out.
As you can imagine, this concerns privacy rights advocates. Democrats aren’t letting up either. Because top Democrat John Conyers said they promised numbers for months. Furthermore, the Trump/Russian controversy may play a part in this. Some Republicans, who support tight surveillance, are now easing up because of this potential scandal. Some say Russia and Trump’s campaign used surveillance to help Trump win the election. Both Putin and Trump vehemently deny this.
So the NSA spied on how many Americans? I want to know. No, me and my fellow Americans deserve to know. When somebody uses IT services and surveillance technology to spy on innocent Americans, we need to know. I’m not here to promote any political party or side. But we need the truth. And the fact the Trump administration is spinning this because of a scandal: That’s alarming. And are Democrats really seeking the truth to fight for liberty? Or are they using this for their own political gain? So I ask again: The NSA spied on how many Americans?
