this also gives them an into seeing what we are saying on the internet
If the National Security Agency holds every one of Hillary's 77,500 emails, (30,000 old + 33,000 destroyed + 14,500 newly discovered = 77,500 emails), then certainly the NSA has all of our posts on OPP, Mr. bggammers.
Of course, we have no way to know how they collate this data to find terrorists, or criminals, or political foes, or patriots, for that matter.
One would think it more pragmatic to identify criminal activity by monitoring known criminals, instead of monitoring conversations amongst 7.2 billion people on earth. Why not collate data from police reports and arrest records? How could NSA hold 77,500 State Department emails originating out of the Chappaqua basement, much of them classified, and allow hackers a free-for-all for 4 years? Every State and Federal employee must take breach of confidentiality classes and sign an affidavit to protect all clientele or face criminal penalties.
Historically, most spies and criminal collaborators have known each other personally for years and move between house to house or in social circles of colleges, clubs, or churches, with no paper trails, like the old Cambridge Spies: Hollis, Philby, Burgess and Mclean.
If there is recruiting of spies on the Internet, then the private owners of these websites need to be taken to court for aiding and abetting the enemy. Instead, we have the government wishing to take over the entire Internet, and there is no saying that the government might not be even more criminal in its intent.
Just imagine Hillary Clinton as Secretary of State ordering all incriminating evidence against her husband being removed from State Department files, or purging all incriminating records against China's international wheeling and dealing, assigning some agent to comb through the archives? Just imagine Hillary releasing the imprisoned FBI mole, Robert Hanssen to purge the FBI files and finish the job he started? What price do we pay by electing these SDS communists to the highest office in the land?
