Additionally, the Commission envisions expanding Europol’s role, effectively transforming it into a European equivalent of the FBI, with enhanced operational capabilities.

    The centre left keeps doing it:

    Remember: Obama set up the National Security Agency to share globally intercepted personal communications with the government’s 16 other intelligence agencies. Obama also signed the USA freedom act (prolonging the patriot act though lightening it a tad bit).

    They keep digging the hole Russians will bury them in.
