Of Course Big Brother Was Spying On Trump\u2019s Calls \u2013 The Shocking Truth Is That They Spy On All Of Our Calls<\/h1>\n

The mainstream media is all in an uproar over Donald Trump\u2019s claim that Barack Obama personally ordered the phones in Trump Tower to be \u201cwiretapped\u201d just before the election.\u00a0\u00a0 But nobody should really be surprised that the government was listening to Donald Trump\u2019s phone calls.\u00a0 After all, the truth is that they systematically collect the content of all forms of digital communication, and this has been going on for many years.\u00a0 During Obama\u2019s presidency, nobody really got too upset when it was revealed that the Obama administration was spying on friendly foreign leaders (including Angela Merkel<\/a>), nobody got too upset when it was revealed that the Obama administration was spying on journalists, and nobody got too upset when it was revealed that the NSA was grabbing baby photos and nude selfies off of the Internet.\u00a0 But now that Trump has gotten extremely angry<\/a> because the government was listening to his calls, maybe something will finally be done about all of this unconstitutional surveillance.<\/p>\n

Before I discuss how the government is systematically monitoring all of us, first let\u2019s talk about Trump.\u00a0 Back on January 11th, the Guardian<\/a> reported that before the election the FBI applied for a warrant two separate times to monitor the communications of members of Trump\u2019s political team\u2026<\/p>\n

The Guardian has learned that the FBI applied for a warrant from the foreign intelligence surveillance (Fisa) court over the summer in order to monitor four members of the Trump team suspected of irregular contacts with Russian officials. The Fisa court turned down the application asking FBI counter-intelligence investigators to narrow its focus. According to one report, the FBI was finally granted a warrant in October, but that has not been confirmed, and it is not clear whether any warrant led to a full investigation.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The warrant was needed to get access to the digital communications of those individuals and to use those communications in a criminal investigation.\u00a0 As is the case with all other Americans, the digital communications of those individuals were already being gathered on a systematic basis, and the FBI wanted to dig in to those communications to see if anything illegal was going on.<\/p>\n

For more evidence that the FBI was looking into the digital communications of members of Trump\u2019s team, you can check out an excellent interview with Mark Levin on Fox News right here<\/a>\u2026<\/p>\n
