44. If spying is abused for political purposes, this has nothing to do with nothing to hide
The "nothing to hide" premise refers to illegal conduct. If the spying is done to gain political advantage, every politico has to be concerned that the spying is being done to alter the outcome of elections, not to find terrorists.

To find crimes, there is no need for warrantless spying. To do political spying, a warrant will not be issued. THAT SIMPLE!
