Why do Republican Senators appear to be ok with the government spying on citizens?

I'll clarify it for you. NSA captures and records everything about everyone that they can get their hands on, and they share it with law enforcement or anyone else they want to share it with. They track everything everybody does. And contemplate this. Donald Trump gets to see it.

Clarify what? Surveillance of US citizens/taxpayers w/out permission? No, say it is not true, not the US government, they wouldn't do that, right? By splitting off the NSA, it does not have to follow FBI or CIA protocol. Slick.

Oh well then in that case 🙄

They're suddenly worried whether the NSA heard them plotting against Trump

Barr stands behind use of 'spying' to describe Trump campaign surveillanceAttorney General William Barr on Wednesday defended his use of the word 'spying' to describe surveillance of President Donald Trump's 2016 campaign, telling lawmakers his use of the word during a hearing last month was done 'off the cuff' and that he wasn't using it pejoratively. Now we know without a doubt that there was not only spying, but the dirty cops in the Deep State attempted to entrap Trump team members through this spying. We also know without a doubt that Obama was in on it. realDonaldTrump KellyannePolls The current hysteria over 'fake news' — including hysteria by people who have done more than their own fair share of faking news — shows the continuing efforts of the political left to stifle free speech in the country at large, as they already have on academic campuses. Maybe because he could be in trouble for it as well.
