Lefties and media suddenly care again: Whistleblowers warn against surveillance authorities in wake of Trump victory, by Rudy Takala.

“Remember how you legalized assassinating anyone, NSA mass spying, prosecuting publishers, CIA drones everywhere,” secret-leaking organization WikiLeaks said. “It’s all Trump’s in 71 days.” …

Thomas Drake, a former NSA executive who leaked information that he contended was unclassified but nonetheless faced charges under the Espionage Act, echoed those sentiments. “[National security] authorities under Bush passed to Obama who gives Trump legal framework for mass surveillance & special powers on Presidential platter,” Drake wrote.
