It seems fairly certain at this point that we shan’t.
I mean, think what it’d take to seem shocking at this point, and then imagine how it would look if the NSA had sat on such evidence while Turmp was “elected” President. There is literally no way they could fail more definitively at their job – it’d be absurd not to shutter the agency, and jail or even execute some of its staff – if it happened, I don’t think there’s anything they wouldn’t do to keep it quiet.
I increasingly have similar thoughts about the Mueller investigation, which is why I don’t see it amounting to much. If he knows something worse than what everyone knows, it’d be insane to have let Turmp occupy the White House for over two years.
It’s funny you should say that because my own stepmother was (and is, if I visit for more than 2 days) pretty dang cruel, and originally joined our family on the grounds that she was considered the hot barmaid in the village. I mean, not Yuri Andropov hot. It was a small village.
except people have documented for over a year that he watches television six hours a day, there is absolutely nothing new about this except a detailed schedule in print showing it
what they are really edgy about is all the transcripts are now going to Mueller this very week and the House has some very serious testimony scheduled
he basically has to remain president to stay out of arrest and to retain pardon powers, he will only resign if given a promise of a pardon for himself and his family - you know what, let him lose in 2020 so he can be prosecuted without pardon powers
(and god help any democrat president that pardons trump after 2020, there will such fury)
What a sickening farce this all portrays to the world who might have once hoped to look to the USA for guidance. When the hell can we get this cretin locked up or otherwise removed. He’s like a giant bloated tick attached to Americas values sucking out any nutrient he might find. As A kid I pulled them off my old hound and dropped them in a small bottle of gas…didn’t light it, just let one evil address the other.

The NSA’s self-selected mission, never mind irrelevant details like laws, congressional oversight or what have you, is: slurp all the data from everyone, all the time. Including the other TLAs.
If a lot of what you do is either unethical, immoral, unconstitutional, illegal, or all of the above, it pays off to have dirt on the few people who theoretically could throw a spanner in the works. Whether they are ideologically acceptable to you or not. (After all, elected officials only last for so long, bureaucracies last considerably longer.)
The turf wars and lack of sharing of information between the US TLAs are well known by now. If the NSA can learn what the other kids know or are up to, spying on their nominal superiors is at worst an acceptable collateral damage. Better yet, let the CIA or whomever do the actual spying and just slurp the data.
These guys have been writing their own job descriptions for decades now.
