Today’s Washington Times online is running an article headlined Top Democrat deems claims Trump campaign was spied on ‘nonsense’.
Sadly, even with mounting evidence to the contrary, there are people who refuse to believe that employees of the FBI and DoJ, acting under color of law, would spy illegally on political organizations. History proves their disbelief to be misplaced.
Even the FBI’s own website acknowledges that COINTELPRO “…was later rightfully criticized by Congress and the American people for abridging first amendment rights and for other reasons.”
The aphorism in the title of my post is most often attributed to George Santayana.
