President Obama’s team sought NSA intel on thousands of Americans during the 2016 election

Excerpt:
During his final year in office, President Barack Obama’s team significantly expanded efforts to search National Security Agency intercepts for information about Americans, distributing thousands of intelligence reports across government with the unredacted names of U.S. residents during the midst of a divisive 2016 presidential election.
The data, made available this week by the Office of the Director of National Intelligence, provides the clearest evidence to date of how information accidentally collected by the NSA overseas about Americans was subsequently searched and disseminated after President Obama loosened privacy protections to make such sharing easier in 2011 in the name of national security. A court affirmed his order.
The revelations are particularly sensitive since the NSA is legally forbidden from directly spying on Americans and its authority to conduct warrantless searches on foreigners is up for renewal in Congress later this year. And it comes as lawmakers investigate President Trump’s own claims his privacy was violated by his predecessor during the 2016 election.

Did Obama give government agencies the power to harass the unredacted?

Excerpt:
Calling on Judicial Watch: Detailed research is needed on how NSA intelligence with the unredacted names of thousands of US citizens during the 2016 election campaign may have been put to use.
Follow-up is needed to see what happened to thousands of citizens whose names were distributed throughout government agencies under the orders of the President Barack Hussein Obama administration — in effect giving them the power of harassment.
Were any of them subject to IRS audits? Did any face overnight harassment from government agencies such as the BLM or EPA and other alphabet government agencies?
What was the Obama team’s intention in passing on a thousands-person-strong list to a bevy of government agencies?
How did the thousands whose unredacted names were passed on to the government during the heated 2016 election campaign fare?
Perhaps more importantly, how are they faring now?
Obama is gone — but only up the street from the White House with money to burn from a $65-million book deal, and would certainly still be in touch with numerous Obamaites holding jobs in the White House doing their utmost to undermine the Trump administration.
