    The National Security Agency’s targeting of Israeli leaders and officials also swept up the contents of some of their private conversations with U.S. lawmakers and American-Jewish groups. That raised fears—an “Oh-s— moment,” one senior U.S. official said—that the executive branch would be accused of spying on Congress.

    White House officials believed the intercepted information could be valuable to counter Mr. Netanyahu’s campaign. They also recognized that asking for it was politically risky. So, wary of a paper trail stemming from a request, the White House let the NSA decide what to share and what to withhold, officials said. “We didn’t say, ‘Do it,’ ” a senior U.S. official said. “We didn’t say, ‘Don’t do it.’ ”

    If these doesn't get "0"bama impeached we might as well send the Congress home and cancel the next election. "0" is the most imperial president in the history of our once great nation.

    If you've seen the left leaning commentary on this issue already, it falls in the "what's the big deal?" category.

    Nothing will happen. Honestly, Obama probably could cancel the next election and the MSM response would probably be, "eh, let the courts decide."

    Just more proof, Trump is right about the American political system.

    Theyre all bought and paid for, and they dont give a damn about the American people, nor America in general.

    Nothing will get him impeached. Just look around you at the race crazy , PC nation we live in where things like skin color are so important and ask yourself if you can ever see the first Black president going into the books as anything other than a raging success?

    Just not going to happen. Said it years ago, and still sticking to it. History is already written on the 2 term, successful first black president. He knows his audience is held captive to it, and he knows he can do what he wants.
