Trump used the DOJ to investigate members of Congress, their families and even a minor child.

[Fort Fun Indiana]

WASHINGTON — As the Justice Department investigated who was behind leaks of classified information early in the Trump administration, it took a highly unusual step: Prosecutors subpoenaed Apple for data from the accounts of at least two Democrats on the House Intelligence Committee, aides and family members. One was a minor.

All told, the records of at least a dozen people tied to the committee were seized in 2017 and early 2018, including those of Representative Adam B. Schiff of California, then the panel’s top Democrat and now its chairman, according to committee officials and two other people briefed on the inquiry…..

The zeal in the Trump administration’s efforts to hunt leakers led to the extraordinary step of subpoenaing communications metadata from members of Congress — a nearly unheard-of move outside of corruption investigations. While Justice Department leak investigations are routine, current and former congressional officials familiar with the inquiry said they could not recall an instance in which the records of lawmakers had been seized as part of one.

Moreover, just as it did in investigating news organizations, the Justice Department secured a gag order on Apple that expired this year, according to a person familiar with the inquiry, so lawmakers did not know they were being investigated until Apple informed them last month.

Sooooo... when Obama had members of Congress and even Israeli citizens surveilled in the lead-up to the JCPOA passage, that doesn't qualify? What about his IRS being used to squelch conservative groups who were legally entitled to tax-free status? If you desire to be taken seriously you might want to research a bit.

Well, it's an interesting thing that the Reps can really do bad things, and their supporters will justify it all, and then the Dems do something similar and their supporters will also justify it all.

Prosecutors sought records on a dozen people connected to two lawmakers, including Rep. Adam Schiff, to hunt those who leaked classified information.

Former President Donald Trump’s Justice Department reportedly seized records on a dozen people connected to two House Intelligence Committee Democrats in an effort to find out who leaked classified information about Trump’s relationship with Russia to reporters.

The DOJ’s prosecutors subpoenaed Apple and one another internet service provider in 2017 and 2018 for data from the accounts of the Democrats, their aides and family members ― one of whom was a minor, according to a New York Times report published Thursday.

One of the lawmakers identified in the report is Rep. Adam Schiff (Calif.), who served as the House committee’s top Democrat at the time of the subpoenas and is currently its chairman. The other Democrat was not identified, but had also been a member of the committee, the Times reported, citing committee officials and two others briefed on the inquiry.

As the House’s main intelligence oversight body, the committee has regular access to sensitive government information.

According to the Times, prosecutors under then-Attorney General Jeff Sessions were looking for the sources of news reports about communications between Trump associates and Russia. The DOJ reportedly subpoenaed communications metadata of lawmakers, their aides and their families ― a move unheard of when it comes to leak investigations.

The department also secured a gag order on Apple that expired this year, leading the company last month to inform those whose data was affected that their records had been shared, according to the Times.

The records ultimately did not tie the committee to the leaks, and investigators reportedly discussed potentially closing the inquiry ― until William Bar took over as attorney general a year later.

This is a pretty stunning headline. The USA Today published an article titled “Did Obama spy on Trump?” Then the opening line of the article reads: “It isn’t out of the question. The former president’s administration wiretapped journalists and spied on Congress.” Folks, this is

Wow this is totally shocking.USA Today is even attacking Obama.they are a mouthpiece fir the government controlled by the corporations,for THEM to come out and say anything negative on Obama is shocking to say the least.They must be losing viewership in droves the same as CNN is so they are trying to save their image maybe by reporting facts fir once. Thislying troll sense he wants to live in the past obviously talking about a former president,funny how he doesn’t want to report on a truthful fact about Obamas criminal activities living in the past talking about a former president.what a fucking hypocrite whose biased towards the demorats has been exposed. Obama and That mass murderer evil monster Dick Nixon,are two birds of a feather.

as the Biden administration collapses, the NYT have gone full anti-Trump propaganda mode, and the rest of the media is following suit

Yep, the msm lamestream media controlled by the corporations are in panic mode right now.Only the alternative media that’s not controlled by them thst reports the truth both party’s are corrupt and one in the same and trump is not part of that corrupt two party system,the first president sense kennedy you can say that about,it’s only them not playing follow the leader.unlike The NY Times,they report facts and serve the people instead of the corporations.

I remain "hopeful" that AG Garland is doing much more behind the scenes than we know about or has been reported by mainstream media. So far it looks pitiful...

What exactly is Garland supposed to ‘do’ about it?

No current administration is going to investigate its predecessor pursuant to criminal charges – that would establish a dangerous, and unwanted, precedent.

Moreover, one of the most fundamental of our democratic institutions is that the president in power doesn’t use the authority of the state to subject his political opponents to criminal prosecution – that’s the act of despots and dictators in banana republics; which is why Trump’s call to ‘lock up’ Clinton was so utterly reprehensible and wrong, one of many examples of Trump’s contempt for our democratic institutions.

Oh really? Didn't Obama investigate Trump and Bush?
What's stopping Biden from investigating this? Not a damned thing.

Uh get your facts straight,Obama did not investigate his lover and pal bush.

WASHINGTON — As the Justice Department investigated who was behind leaks of classified information early in the Trump administration, it took a highly unusual step: Prosecutors subpoenaed Apple for data from the accounts of at least two Democrats on the House Intelligence Committee, aides and family members. One was a minor.

All told, the records of at least a dozen people tied to the committee were seized in 2017 and early 2018, including those of Representative Adam B. Schiff of California, then the panel’s top Democrat and now its chairman, according to committee officials and two other people briefed on the inquiry…..

The zeal in the Trump administration’s efforts to hunt leakers led to the extraordinary step of subpoenaing communications metadata from members of Congress — a nearly unheard-of move outside of corruption investigations. While Justice Department leak investigations are routine, current and former congressional officials familiar with the inquiry said they could not recall an instance in which the records of lawmakers had been seized as part of one.

Moreover, just as it did in investigating news organizations, the Justice Department secured a gag order on Apple that expired this year, according to a person familiar with the inquiry, so lawmakers did not know they were being investigated until Apple informed them last month.

There was nothing too low that the Trump Administration would steep to intimidate the opposition.

This was pure and simply an abuse of power.

So impeach him.

If the democrats can they will continue to impeach Trump until Hell freezes over.

Unlike the Biden And Obama administration....Trump didn't direct anyone to do anything. Anything the DOJ investigated was on their own.
Pelosi would have impeached Trump if he had asked the DOJ to conduct any investigation of any type.

If it turns out that Trump did direct the DOJ, what would you say?

Did you miss the detail about the leaking of classified information? Allow me to refresh your memory of the early months of Trump's presidency. We were seeing leaks of sensitive, even classified information, DAILY. BTW, that's a criminal act. The two assholes he had investigated did the same thing themselves against Republicans. Cry me a river...

Yet enough Americans disagree with you, that he could be re-elected. Hell... he could be indicted, tried, convicted, and be incarcerated and he might still beat your candidate in 2024. That is how messed up Biden's regime is going to be. IF the country doesn't collapse economically, we'll still see chaos, homelessness, millions of illegals overrunning the border and Blutopias burning long before 2024.
If he did win, your party would use the military to take control of DC before they allowed him to be seated in the Oval office again. How does that make you feel? I mean, are you okay with feeling so morally superior that you're willing to crush the other half of America to have your way?
