The N.S.A. was used for political gain? Seriously? Did you happen to see this?

American law enforcement and intelligence agencies intercepted the communications around the same time they were discovering evidence that Russia was trying to disrupt the presidential election by hacking into the Democratic National Committee, three of the officials said. The intelligence agencies then sought to learn whether the Trump campaign was colluding with the Russians on the hacking or other efforts to influence the election.

No. Russian hackers were used for political gain. Donald Trump asked the Russians, via Twitter, to hack Clinton's emails, in July.

They hacked the D.N.C., leaked emails to Wikileaks, and influenced the election. This helped Donald Trump win the election. The Russians hacked the D.N.C. for their political gain, and for Trump's political gain.
Suggesting Obama ordered the N.S.A. to hack Trump for political gain (whose?) is absolute nonsense.
