Sweden violated its constitution and had dawn raids and confiscation of servers performed to satisfy the RIAA.
- donkeyd 6y agoThat's completely different from asking two different countries to withhold information from multiple criminal investigations for political gain by a specific group of US politicians. European countries don't even trust US politicians anymore with information about ongoing investigations, due to the blabbermouth president. Why would they even communicate this with them to begin with?

I'm not saying the dutch and the french did some kind of cooperation with the US here, I'm just saying I would not gasp of surprise if it turned out to be so.

- griffzhowl 6y agoGCHQ were involved which means the NSa would have known about it since they're not really separate organizations. I believe they would refrain from briefing the president on something which was important to keep secret.
