Did Comey just say that "prominent people should assume" their ativities are observed when in Russia

[cyberswede]

That seems pretty clear, for a hypothetical.

[gopiscrap]

1. Gee! Imagine that?

[lies]

2. I think they all would anyway

I certainly would... the same thing would be true in many countries seen as adversaries... and hey, the same is true of other country's citizens in America.

Super uncontroversial.

[cyberswede]

5. I would, too, but to hear it so officially is somewhat surprising...

especially since he answered this way after the question, which was originally about Trump, was rephrased to be more general.

[lies]

6. I guess

it doesn't even vaguely surprise me though... I'd literally assumed that was a given for decades.... anything vaguely sensitive is gonna get spied on.

3. NSS

[nycbos]

4. Yes he did

[niyad]

7. hey, you idiot, one assumes that one is being observed, no matter who one is. everyone

does it.

8. Not news at all.

Soviets joked that the "American" hotel was made of a new material, "microcrete" -- 50% concrete, 50% microphones

The Russians ran the Soviet empire. Very little has changed internally.

9. In other words...

they have the video?
