The POTUS/JB thing seems to personify the whole battle to me. At least the U.S. aspect of the story.
This says to me they have all they need for their case against JB. Don't need to do any more spying on him. Also gets the MSM to start making a big deal over how "wrong" it is to take away his privileges. Then when the sauce hits the fan, they look yet again even stupider.
Here comes the muh "POTUS is going after his political enemies" mockingbird drone just like Schiffty here is demonstrating.
The cabal is so backed between a rock and a hard place right now. Love to watch them squirm.
