What a hack.
Via Daily Caller:
CNN’s Brian Stelter on Sunday justified the federal government spying on a political campaign if there are “very real fears” about “something very suspicious going on” with the campaign.
Stelter, host of “Reliable Sources,” defended surveillance of members of Donald Trump’s campaign by the Obama administration by asking, “Don’t you want to know?” […]
“We had unprecedented surveillance of a political campaign in American history,” Ruddy said. “The House Intelligence Committee says at least 100 members and associates of Donald Trump were surveilled and unmasked, and I think that’s the big story. Why did that go on, based again, on a phony allegation in search of a crime?”
“Because there were very real fears that there was something very suspicious going on with Russia,” Stelter replied.
“Just because a liberal group has a fear about a conservative candidate doesn’t mean they should open up a political investigation,” Ruddy replied, to which Stelter chuckled.
