not at all....

spying is illegal. whether it's done by a nation or an individual, a foreigner in your nation spying it illegal in that nation that is being spied upon....

surveillance is lawful and indeed advanced by government officials to gather information for a legal case against a suspect

legal vs illegal VERY big difference

can legal surveillance be abused sure...  and that's the question, if the system was played against Trump in an abusive corrupt fashion, and not just to answer justifiable questions

I'm really starting to wonder if conservatives just don't read....
or at least not every word....
hence the many times I question the reading comprehension of many on this board.

Now that is has come to light that the dossier was paid for by a political adversary, unverified, and used illegally in the FISA process; hereafter, the methods used to gather information constitute spying.

 One can conduct electronic surveillance without spying.

 One can spy without using electronic surveillance.

 What's hard to understand about that?

Do you believe these practices are legal, ethical, and should be utilized in the future by rival political groups?

Oooops...
Sorry guys, I just accidentally deleted a post by Raydawg...

The jist was,... I guess it all depends on the definition of "IS"...

I was trying to quote it, and hit the wrong button.
No intended slight.

Serow


Anyway...
I had intended on saying it's what the definition of "WARRANT" is...
..and, they were surveilling members of the Trump campaign that were suspected of illegal cooperation with foreign enemies that were tampering with our election, not the Trump campaign itself.
That's not spying,.. it's catching spies...

AGAIN.......  ;D

Its all depends on what the definition of IS - IS  :-*

The act of spying is trying to uncover information to be used for whatever reason its needed, and yes its legal, AND illegal, and should be decided accordingly.

In this case, was it legal....yes, as the warrants allowed such, that is not the question being asked.....
Were they granted on false information, lies, etc.....

That is a whole different issue, and to my understanding, what is going to be looked at now, as it should, because new information has come to light in testimony of Mueller's investigation.

Don't we ALL have a vested interest in finding out the truth?

Trump has a vested interest in not finding out the truth.
We all should wonder why...

 Depends on who the person is and if they are the legal owner of the door and have no tenants or other contractual agreements, such as storage, to another party that would maintain a degree of privacy.

"If you are not aware they are cataloging every bit of digital information on you as well."

 I am aware.  Are you aware that you agree to most of it by using the service provided?

 Even so I think one can engage in the act of electronic surveillance without spying.  I also think one can spy, without engaging in electronic surveillance.

 By definition I do not believe all forms of electronic surveillance is illegal.  So should political groups use legal electronic surveillance?  Yes, if its legal.
