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

administration....Trump didn't direct anyone to do anything
Well that's a lie.
How so?
Can you prove it's a lie?
Nope....you can't!!!

You act like you're suffering from an advanced form of Dementia.
How in the Hell can you say Trump has control of the DOJ when they were trying to set him up with Russian Collusion....YOU STUPID FUK!!!!
 
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.

Worse than the Obama Administration investigating the Trump campaign? LOL!
Trump’s own inspector general found no such abuse.


As for the Trump Administration’s abuse of power why do you justify it by this whataboutism? Is it wrong or not?
Again.....dumbass.....Trump was being attacked by this DOJ as well.
So sell your shit to someone who's buying it.
Your post makes no sense. Trump was being attacked by Barr? Where do you come up with this stuff?
Stop acting like an imbecile.
Clearly the previous administration had their own people in the Administration setting up Trump even before he became president......and everyone in congress was calling for Trump to be investigated for firing James Fuking Comey.
Then they started the Mueller investigation and Pelosi was threatening to impeach him for blowing a mouse-fart. They actually impeached him for a crime that Biden himself committed. Then impeached him again for another crime that they committed. CAUSING A RIOT IN THE CAPITAL.

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.
Trump did plenty of telling his DoJ what to investigate.

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.

AG Merrick Garland must address this! Why did they only go after Democrats? Republicans had access to the same information.

I'm only swooning for the survival of democracy - which seems to be in grave danger from Republican authoritarianism.
 

trump makes Nixon look like a Boy Scout. Nixon never stooped this low.
Actually Obama made Nixon look like a boy scout. Obama was like a black George Wallace. He never should have been allowed to become president. If the voters had been allowed to find out what Obama was really like...a socialist....communist....closet Muslim....gay....stone-cold racist.....he would have been lucky to be elected garbageman.
 
AG Merrick Garland speaks softly - but does he carry a big stick or a wet noodle? Maybe we'll know more tomorrow when he is scheduled to speak.
 
as the Biden administration collapses, the NYT have gone full anti-Trump propaganda mode, and the rest of the media is following suit
