Zeris posted:No, that's exactly it. It's not a smoking gun (yet) but people, I guess in a few posts here and in implications from left-leaning media outlets, seem to assume it's a smoking gun. Maybe I'm reading too far into things. I already have outrage fatigue and I no longer understand the point of getting riled up over stupid poo poo until it's clearly smoking-gun-level stupid poo poo. I'd say it's a smoking gun because I can't remember if anyone who's been revealed to have contact with Russia has tried to offer even the tiniest explanation of their actions. Everyone accused has claimed that the allegations are fake, and try to get it swept under the rug, which plays into people's "if they don't have something to hide, why won't they tell the truth" beliefs.

Handsome Ralph posted:I know this is true (and a major reason why FISA warrants are now a thing), but in this case, it's still dumb when people say they are doing it (based on Wikileaks which is just lol given their recent history), again, without evidence to back it up. VikingSkull posted:I think it's less an issue that the CIA itself is actively spying on certain Americans and more that the NSA, CIA and other alphabet agencies are passively spying/datamining every American and now it's legal for them to share the information back and forth with no oversight. Isn't there a point where we have to just trust that the three-letter agencies aren't spying on Americans illegally? I'm not saying they would or wouldn't, but is there a way to prove if it is or isn't happening without putting everyone's private info out there?

AreWeDrunkYet posted:That's the issue though, there's not a good way to establish that illegal spying (or illegal information sharing where it's not outright spying) is not still going on and from the information that has gotten out there's good evidence that these agencies have regularly flouted the law. If there was legitimate oversight it would be a different conversation, but recent leaks have been very clear that intelligence agencies are outright lying to the people that are supposed to have the authority to reign them in - and this has not resulted in any consequences. The oversight thing is what I'm concerned about. I can't think of a good way to confirm if an oversight committee is actually making sure no illegal spying is going on or if the committee is just telling the public nothing illegal is going on without putting everything out for the public to see.

I just realized this is going to be the future of politics once the 85-90's people start getting political office.
