3/29/17 Ray McGovern on Russia hysteria, media madness, Trump hatred, and NSA spying

Ray McGovern, a CIA analyst for 27 years, discusses his article – co-written by NSA whistleblower Bill Binney – about President Trump’s legitimate concerns that senior US government officials (including himself) are being spied on by the NSA and the details leaked to his political and media opponents. McGovern laments that many formerly good journalists are so blinded by partisan hatred of all things Trump, that they don’t question the Russia-gate story or allow any dissenting opinions (like his) to be heard.
