Via whistleblower Russ Tice we know that the NSA was spying on Obama starting from 2004.

Nice to see someone else remember what Russ Tice said.

> whistleblower Russ Tice said [...] that the NSA had a tap on Barack Obama as early as 2004.

Russ Tice became a whistleblower in 2005, but never mentioned the future president was specifically and illegally targeted until boasting about it on radio program in 2013?

Russ Tice has said he held in his hand the wiretap papers for a then hopeful senator from IL, who happens to now be in the Whitehouse.

Jeffrey Tice of the University of California).

Their spying does not stop at members of the public or foreign publics; whistleblower Russ Tice said long before Snowden that the NSA had a tap on Barack Obama as early as 2004.

Previous NSA whistle blower Russ Tice [1] has stated that the NSA targeted Barack Obama (in 2004), Diane Feinstein, Hillary Clinton, John McCain, David Petraeus, Colin Powell, and Supreme Court nominees.

> People can disagree with [Tye’s] views, but [the government] should be holding him out as the ultimate national security whistleblower, because he’s doing it the right way.” In my opinion Russ Tice deserves that title.

Russ Tice's (NSA whistlerblower) interview talking about all the people the NSA targeted (including our president in 2004) is also not only malicious, but terrifying.[2] And as Bill Binney (another NSA whisteblower) has said, we're a "turn key totalitarian state", I'm not sure how one could think a totalitarian state could not be malicious.

The only information we have is the NSA director answering "Not intentionally, no" when asked if the NSA ever spied on American citizens, along with Snowden's allegations that there are no checks and balances if an employee of the NSA believed that they did, and Russ Tice's claim that the NSA spied on Obama.

Russ Tice, a Bush-era NSA whistleblower, claims Obama's phones were tapped by the NSA starting in 2004 [1].

However, Tice's claims have been by far the most damning thus far, even more so than Snowden's (in my opinion).

Tice was not merely briefed by the NSA, but held a senior position there.
