I suspect not. I think that the claws of executive privilege are infinite, because no office holder wants to overturn them in case he wants to use them himself. Like after Trump's $20 trillion deal.

Perhaps, but this is Trump - he is supposedly different. You have no fear that he might just do the right thing? Even just for the sake of doing the right thing?

CNN Exclusive: Classified docs contradict Nunes surveillance claims, GOP and Dem sources say
Washington (CNN) — After a review of the same intelligence reports brought to light by House Intelligence Chairman Devin Nunes, both Republican and Democratic lawmakers and aides have so far found no evidence that Obama administration officials did anything unusual or illegal, multiple sources in both parties tell CNN.

Nah. I mean, if there is to be a right and just treatment of the Obama administration, it should be at the hands of the families of Pakistanis, Pashtun and others killed in his mad rampaging RISK board sweep.
ETA: And the families of millions of Obamacare victims

You being a Russian troll makes it easy for me to see why you feel that way. That's a treasonous statement if made by an American. Even if it was said about Trump.

Oh I'm pretty sure if that was considered treasonous we could dig up a few things you and a couple of others have said recently that would put you on the wrong end of the firing squad.

And as it turns out, GCHQ DID "share" information with the NSA and Obama about Trump. What the story tells me is several things ...
Quote:
The Guardian said it understood that GCHQ at no point conducted any targeted operation against Mr Trump or members of his team and that the agency had not been proactively seeking information.
No, of course not. There's just a whole lot of "un-targeted" surveillance going on!
Quote:Well, yes. But not at Trump Tower.
The claims are highly sensitive after Mr Trump last month alleged that President Barack Obama had illegally “wiretapped” him in Trump Tower.
Terrible! Just found out that Obama had my "wires tapped" in Trump Tower just before the victory. Nothing found. This is McCarthyism! — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) March 4, 2017
His press secretary Sean Spicer then cited a media report claiming the bugging had been carried out by GCHQ.
Quote:Oy! Tell me another story!
The allegation drew an extremely rare denial from GCHQ, which said the claim was “utterly ridiculous and should be ignored”, while Britain’s ambassador Sir Kim Darroch was given an assurance that it would not be repeated by the White House.
GCHQ merely declined to comment on the latest claims. A spokesman said: “It is long-standing policy that we do not comment on intelligence matters.”
According to The Guardian, the FBI and the CIA were slow to pick up on the extent of the contacts between Mr Trump’s team and the Russians in the run-up to last year’s presidential election – in part because US law bans them from monitoring the private communications of US citizens without a warrant.
Quote:
“It looks like the (US) agencies were asleep,” The Guardian quoted one source as saying. “They (the European agencies) were saying: ‘There are contacts going on between people close to Mr Trump and people we believe are Russian intelligence agents. You should be wary of this.’ “The message was: ‘Watch out. There’s something not right here.'”
GCHQ’s then head, Robert Hannigan, was said to have passed material directly to CIA chief John Brennan in the summer of 2016. After what was said to be a slow start, Mr Brennan used the intelligence to launch a major inter-agency investigation.
Now, this is the part where they fail to mention
(1) Trump was right and
(2) Morell - former acting CIA director, said - "On the question of the Trump campaign conspiring with the Russians here, there is smoke, but there is no fire, at all," Morell said at an event sponsored by the Cipher Brief, an intelligence web site. "There's no little campfire, there's no little candle, there's no spark. And there's a lot of people looking for it."
Quote:Which so far, despite across-the-pond surveillance-sharing, plus all of the interest from BEFORE the election, they still haven't found anything?
A number of inquiries are now under way in Washington into Trump campaign officials and Moscow, including an FBI-led counter-espionage investigation and inquiries by both the House and Senate intelligence committees.
