8. He wasn't the only one. Remember John Bolton's interest in NSA data?
Is it so improbable that the main focus of this NSA surveillance was not terrorism, but political opposition? Everything else in this administration has been politicized, why should this be any different?

A vast net of warrantless wiretaps would serve as a great cover for the real objectives: to use the government's intelligence gathering apparatus to further the Republican political agendas. Does that strike anyone as far-fetched?

It might also explain why so many establishment Dems are afraid to challenge this administration.
