Your friendly neighborhood DOJ and FBI, hard at work
The DOJ and FBI versus the Republicans:
The House Judiciary Committee on Thursday opened a formal investigation into why the FBI snooped on two Republican House Intelligence Committee staffers during the height of the Russia collusion probe, suggesting the seizure of their private email and records may have been retaliation for the panel’s efforts to expose bureau misconduct.
If they want to target Republican members of Congress or their aides, they’ll do it, and no one will be the wiser until maybe five years later:
In an extraordinary intrusion on congressional oversight, the Justice Department used grand jury subpoenas to secretly obtain the personal email and phone data of at least two top House Intelligence Committee investigators back in November 2017 just as they and their boss, then-Chairman Devin Nunes, were assembling bombshell evidence of FBI abuses in the Russia collusion probe, Just the News has learned.
The subpoenas, obtained by Just the News, show the DOJ demanded that Google turn over personal email and phone data from the two senior staffers on Nov. 20, 2017 and that responsive materials were to be returned to DOJ by Dec. 5, 2017…
Nunes’ committee was locked at the time in a bitter struggle to force the FBI and DOJ to turn over records to the committee.
The DOJ subpoenas came to light in the last few days when the former committee staffers were informed by Google that their records had been taken, consistent with the Big Tech company’s policy of alerting customers five years after law enforcement takes such actions.
How can you fight back against a group with that much power?
The internet and our resultant dependence on electronic communications are by far the best tools the totalitarian state has ever had, far far better than Orwell’s telescreens. It used to be that authorities had to obtain the actual hard copies of communications in order to spy on people, or install recording devices in their offices and homes. Now it’s far easier and far more comprehensive, and far less detectable by the target.
Nunes said the subpoenas gave the DOJ and FBI unprecedented potential to learn in real-time what his investigation was learning about misconduct in the Russia probe. He called on the new Republican Congress to probe the subpoenas aggressively.
“The FBI and DOJ spied on a presidential campaign, and when Congress began exposing what they were doing, they spied on us to find out what we knew and how we knew it,” Nunes told Just the News. “It’s an egregious abuse of power that the next Congress must investigate so these agencies can be held accountable and reformed.”
Good luck with that.
And of course:
Spokesmen for the Justice Department and U.S. Attorney’s Office did not respond to requests Monday for comment.
Enemies of the people.
I would say that if GOP partisans were targeting Democrats for partisan reasons.
Of course, today our government doesn’t even investigate Democrats who are traitors working for enemy nations.
Fascist do as fascists’ Will To Power does.
What we can do right now is insist on an appropriation of $0 for the FBI. The trouble is, our worthless Senate Republican caucus would defect.
Appears the DOJ is irredeemably corrupt. The fate of our Republic is in the hands of whistleblowers who have the courage to speak out. Are there enough though?
If it is important, encrypt and never use gmail etc!

Dan Bongino is hoping to inspire some more.

After explaining in detail how they HAVE to know who the coke-dropper is:
so consider at the time nunes and his staff was trying to pinpoint lies sourced in part from a suspected Russian mole, danchenko, this was also around the time that the las vegas should have been under investigation,
I believe Miguel is trying to say, now it is revealed that the FBI and FPJ were spying on R opposition leaders in the House like Nunez, et al. And only 5 years later do we learn of this.
I believe Nunez said they did so that rhe Dems could stay a step ahead of what they, and later Lee Smith in book form, leaned about the Stasi-like snooping state.
The IC runs our propaganda one-party state, and the FIB is its Praetorian Guard.
The corrupt totalitarians in the FBI, CIA and DOJ can only do what they do because the corrupt totalitarians of the Democrat party (all branches including media) and their voters support it.
Now that we have seen the crack investigative skills of the Secret Service at work, we might want to revisit similar crack FBI investigative work that was done in the case of the crash of TWA800.

yes those are the two screens phenomenon, another was the full swat team aimed at that little apartment in little havana, while the full hijack crew, was coming into the country,
Back in the halcyon days of yore, when we, of course, believed that whatever our law enforcement agencies told us was the truth, we just accepted whatever they said as being true, most of us, probably, without even a second thought.
Given what we see and now know about the performance of the FBI, however, one starts to wonder just how far back in time we might have to go before we arrive at cases–especially major cases–which were actually honestly and thoroughly investigated, and whose conclusions could stand up to some honest and thorough scrutiny?
