With respect to the media, Obama did what Trump brags about wanting to do.
Whatever else you want to think about the two presidents, Obama is way more competent at being evil than Trump.
After all, Trump has yet to actually abuse the Espionage Act to search the journalists' phone records, particularized search targeting, and so forth. In fact, I doubt he is even aware of that possibility.
So do be duly horrified of the President's dangerous and reckless statements, but also keep in context that what he merely thinks about doing someone else has already done. Likely setting an example for others to follow.
