US Government agencies using "dirt" to smear and/or blackmail populist political figures is a historic fact.

Exactly. See Martin Luther King Jr [0] as an example. Private information obtained through surveillance was leaked by government agencies in an attempt to discredit him.

I know a lot of Snowden's and Assanges' sex life and many, many personal details. I've never actively seeked out that information.

Also, the US has proven experience in smearing political characters. Heck, even John fucking Lennon had an FBI file full of personal information.

It would have also been "quite a claim" awhile back about the NSA collecting anything and everything about citizens. I don't get your comment.
