IG finds Justice Department spied on Patel and other congressional staffer without telling courts
As a result of the probe, the department obtained phone records from two members of Congress and 43 staff members, including President-elect Donald Trump’s nominee for FBI Director, Kash Patel.

The Justice Department spied on two House members and several congressional staffers in a leak investigation without telling the courts, the agency's inspector general found in a sweeping investigation released Tuesday.
As a result, the department obtained phone records from the two members of Congress and 43 staff members including President-elect Donald Trump’s nominee for FBI director, Kash Patel, who worked as a staffer on the GOP-led House Intelligence Committee at the time.
The department initiated the probe to investigate leaks to the media of FBI classified information as part of the now-discredited Trump-Russia probe which had recently been shared with Congress.

IG report on leak investigation.pdf
Patel, who is poised to become the new director of the FBI if confirmed, previously sued former Trump Justice Department officials and FBI Director Christopher Wray, accusing them of violating his Fourth Amendment right to protection from unreasonable searches and seizures when they tried to obtain Patel's personal records, Just the News previously reported.

Another former staffer, Jason Foster, previously told Just the News that he confirmed that the government successfully asked a federal court to hide its spying on Congress for five consecutive years.
Commentary:
Notice the IG's report didn't come out until AFTER the election.
Each dat that foes by, we find that the Biden appointed DoJ and FBI are as corrupt as they can be, no wonder Trump wanted Gaetz and Patel - these places need to be cleaned out top to bottom.
Garland is corrupt and we can be thankful that he was not considered for SCOTUS..
Time to investigate, indict and convict these political hacks for their violations of law.
