So the new president in the United States of America claim to be
-surprised to discover that he was wiretapped during the election
-before he was elected president. He even claim this must be illegal.
-Well, doh, if it is one thing the confirmations from Snowden
-documented, it is that the entire population in USA is wiretapped, one
-way or another. Of course the president candidates were wiretapped,
-alongside the senators, judges and the rest of the people in USA.
-
-
Next, the Federal Bureau of Investigation ask the Department of
-Justice to go public rejecting the claims that Donald Trump was
-wiretapped illegally. I fail to see the relevance, given that I am
-sure the surveillance industry in USA believe they have all the legal
-backing they need to conduct mass surveillance on the entire
-world.
-
-
There is even the director of the FBI stating that he never saw an
-order requesting wiretapping of Donald Trump. That is not very
-surprising, given how the FISA court work, with all its activity being
-secret. Perhaps he only heard about it?
-
-
What I find most sad in this story is how Norwegian journalists
-present it. In a news reports the other day in the radio from the
-Norwegian National broadcasting Company (NRK), I heard the journalist
-claim that 'the FBI denies any wiretapping', while the reality is that
-'the FBI denies any illegal wiretapping'. There is a fundamental and
-important difference, and it make me sad that the journalists are
-unable to grasp it.

Update 2017-03-13: Look like
-The
-Intercept report that US Senator Rand Paul confirm what I state above.
