All intelligence agencies do these kind of things. That it's obviously a really stupid idea does not seem to factor in.
Agreed. I would tell people years ago that big brother was always watching and listening. I remember while I was in the military as a 25L(cable system installer maintainer). I remember we had a tool that could connect to any phone line and we could tap into all calls on that line. I know the army takes forever to get new gear so I have always knew they had ways to get into wireless, I imagine military will get its hands on it in a few years.
I'm to the point, I believe our own government hacked the DNC and tried to plant in on Russia so they could do two things. 1). Overthrow Trump and 2) start a war.
