It's done during every presidency.

Their own intelligence services are aware of it often when it happens.

What doesn't usually happen is it being leaked to the public during a presidency.

You only linked to an article that talks about the leaks that revealed US surveillance on Merkel.

You have not established a connection (even intermediate steps) between the leaks during the Obama era and her about face.
