In the need to develop a capacity to know what potential enemies are doing, the United States government has perfected a technological capability that enables us to monitor the messages that go through the air. (...) Now, that is necessary and important to the United States as we look abroad at enemies or potential enemies. We must know, at the same time, that capability at any time could be turned around on the American people, and no American would have any privacy left: such is the capability to monitor everything—telephone conversations, telegrams, it doesn't matter. There would be no place to hide.

If this government ever became a tyranny, if a dictator ever took charge in this country, the technological capacity that the intelligence community has given the government could enable it to impose total tyranny, and there would be no way to fight back because the most careful effort to combine together in resistance to the government, no matter how privately it was done, is within the reach of the government to know. Such is the capability of this technology. (...)

I don't want to see this country ever go across the bridge. I know the capacity that is there to make tyranny total in America, and we must see to it that this agency and all agencies that possess this technology operate within the law and under proper supervision so that we never cross over that abyss. That is the abyss from which there is no return.

As an aside. Do you think it's beneficial for a company that makes it living on corporate intelligence, operations and overall consulting, to be able to be the ones obtaining surveillance information? Funny, how company X underbid company M, to get a contract. And company X hired the same company that Eddie Snowed-INN (my hero) worked for. A NSA contractor? Gee....who held the contract?

But, it's ONLY trump bang1 bang1 bang1

sheesh, there's no innocent explanation. This a lacrosse site. Anyone confused about whether being nominated as an Academic All-American in Lacrosse is the same as actually being one? NO!!

Don't know, but pretty sure YOUR Maryland AG lied about his lacrosse accolades. All American at Yale, he claimed, on his Monkey County bio at the time. He still claimed that he was all IVY too.....no record of that either. We know, we know....apples to sauce. But, willing to bet you voted for good ole Doug go go Gansler.

What year was the claim made?

I saw a 2014 article which made the All American reference....people make mistakes (not saying Gansler did not misrepresent....but people writing bios or articles can make mistakes.... that is why we have something called corrections and retractions.....)

I'm just saying -- and I'm afraid I have to agree with Salty on this -- it's high time for Mueller to issue an indictment of a high-placed Trump campaign official for participating in a conspiracy with a foreign government to defraud the US in connection with the 2016 election. It's time for Mueller to S or get off the pot. This Cohen campaign finance stuff is a side show that allows all of Trump's supporters to say it's all BS.

I said that from the get-go. Money laundering or felony campaign violations won't do it. Americans, sadly, don't care.

Look at old salt's response to Flynns commission of a felony. You have to be nuts to think that Trump fans care if Trump laundered Russian money. Or violated campaign finance rules. They have convinced themselves that it's part of doing business. Meeting with Russian spies elicits a "who cares" response in 2018.

They haven't thought about what message they are sending to even slimier politicians. But yeah, I'm certain it's smart to tell American politicians that we don't care if they commit felonies.

Chips has it right. He understands the priorities & what's at stake. Our worsening relations with Russia are too important to be used as a domestic political football. More sanctions + these Black Sea standoffs scare the hell out of me. If Trump is indeed compromised by Russian kompromat, every additional day he serves puts us at further risk. If Mueller does not yet have evidence of that, he's not likely too get it. If Cohen was in Prague, Mueller should know by now.
It appears that Mueller is just running out the clock until the incoming (D) House can take the baton to run Trump out of office & prevent him from reaching a rapprochement with Russia, because that's the Deep State establishment's #1 priority. They prefer another Cold War to (in their eyes) the possibility of another Yalta.

Put the Russia issue to bed. Let Mattis & Pompeo deal with Russia & run foreign policy. Then Trump can battle Mueller, the (D)'s & MSM for the next 2 years & let the voters decide if he should be removed via impeachment or voted our of office. It's too dangerous to keep playing these Cold War games with Ivan.

TAATS......two years and NO charges.
