Totally legit! If you’re a Banana Republic.
Time to dismantle the DOJ and rebuild it from the ground floor.


Several current and former congressional oversight staff have been recently informed that the U.S. Justice Department seized their phone and email records back in 2017 as part of leak investigations,belated revelations that have touched off an inquiry by DOJ's internal watchdog and raised serious concerns about the separation of powers between the executive and legislative branches.

Over the last week, several current and former Senate and House staff from both political parties have alerted Congress that they received belated notifications from Apple, Google or other Big Tech firms that their email or phone records were obtained from their personal devices via a grand jury subpoena.

Officials said the seizures were related, in part, to leak investigations stemming from the FBI's now-discredited Crossfire Hurricane investigation into Russia collusion.

The targeted staffers include people who worked for the Senate Judiciary and House Intelligence committees who have direct oversight responsibility for the FBI and Justice Department, raising concerns that the legislative branch overseers were being monitored by those they oversee in the executive branch.

"The Justice Department's secret targeting of congressional investigators is a new low in the agency's sordid history of abusing its authority to evade accountability," Iowa Sen. Charles Grassley, the top Republican on the Senate Budget Committee, told Just the News on Monday evening.

At least one of Grassley's former investigators when the senator chaired the Senate Judiciary Committee and helped uncover FBI wrongdoing in the Russia case, Jason Foster, recently received a notification of a subpoena dating to fall 2017.

"Ever since the botched Crossfire Hurricane investigation came to light, the FBI and Justice Department have gone to great lengths to cover up and distract from their own malfeasance. Their actions only serve to underscore the importance of Congress' constitutional oversight responsibility. This attack on congressional investigators will not deter us from that duty, and the department must answer for this abuse," Grassley also said.

The newly notified congressional investigators join former House Intelligence Committee chief investigative counsel Kash Patel and one other aide who served on that same panel who got notifications last year. Patel recently sued the government for violations of his civil liberties.

The notifications suggest the grand jury probe began in the U.S. Attorney's office in Washington, D.C., under the Trump DOJ, involved leaks of sensitive information that had been shared with Congress in 2017 and targeted Republicans and Democrats, including former House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff. Those notified have expressed shock as well as outrage.

Once again you expose your ignorance of the topic.



The FBI's concerns became clear after Brennan shared intelligence about Russian interference with Comey in mid-August 2016. The FBI investigation, code named Crossfire Hurricane, had a large degree of independence from inter-agency efforts to investigate Russian interference.[5

In late July 2016, according to his May 2017 testimony to the House Intelligence Committee, CIA director John Brennan convened a group of officials from the CIA, NSA and FBI to investigate Russian interference.[27][28] In a July 2017 interview, Brennan described this group effort as a "fusion cell".[29] According to his later testimony, Brennan gave the FBI leads involving "contacts and interactions between Russian officials and U.S. persons involved in the Trump campaign" that were beyond the CIA's mandate to pursue. He said this information "served as the basis for the FBI investigation to determine whether such collusion [or] cooperation occurred".[30]

In March 2017, FBI Director James Comey confirmed in a congressional hearing that the FBI had been investigating Russian interference as part of its counterintelligence mission. He further confirmed that the probe included links between Trump campaign members and the Russian government, and "whether there was any coordination between the campaign and Russia's efforts".[31] Comey added in a June Senate hearing that President Trump had not been personally under investigation until after Comey's departure from the FBI.[32][33]

I guess I should have anticipated you were too stupid and lazy to actually read the link in the OP.

Horowitz's office has uncovered significant wrongdoing in recent years inside DOJ and FBI, ranging from the falsification of information submitted in a FISA warrant during the Russia probe to instances of sexual abuse and harassment inside the bureau.

"The Justice Department’s secret targeting of congressional investigators is a new low in the agency’s sordid history of abusing its authority to evade accountability," Iowa Sen. Charles Grassley, the top Republican on the Senate Budget Committee, told Just the News on Monday evening.

There's no specific date for "spring 2017." This is most unfortunate, because the Chinese military was collecting special coronaviruses during that time, especially from Zhoushan Island. Ebright (Rutgers) knows about one of these viruses. So the timely jack-o-lantern of note for this Halloween is litigation sought by Yanping Chen against Catherine Herridge. Herridge's report of 2017. Chen and her father are both Chinese military, and Herridge risks contempt of court from the gestures of an Obama-appointed judge. At the time the Zhoushan viruses were being collected, Herridge unleashes her report:

Fox News investigation: DoD-funded school at center of federal probes over suspected Chinese military ties

EXCLUSIVE: Based just four miles from the Pentagon in northern Virginia is an innocuous-sounding online school for "management and technology" – which a Fox News investigation reveals has been at the center of multiple federal probes about its leadership's alleged ties to the Chinese military...

We are totally not surprised that Yanping Chen would want to know Herridge's source. This Obama-appointed judge is also helping to obscure Hunter Biden's link to virus collecting via Metabiota.
