Governments could regulate Facebook & Twitter, but what would happen if 10 million users sued for violation of the 4th amendment?
What would a $500 billion settlement do to their bottom line?
We have the power to banrupt them.
“Our work with the special counsel is confidential,”
...unlike your data.
When Trump was faced with having the chance to do the same thing, turns out he didn't need to so he didn't use it. But somehow they want to hang it all on him.
Saul Alinsky - blame your enemy for what you are already doing that way when the media gets a hold of it your enemy will get the media hit.
So they spank Zuckerberg on the wrist and Zuckerberg promises to be a good boy and spill every he knows about the Trump campaign. So easy.
All Trump supporters should cancel their FB page. I’ll be doing it tonight.
This Witch Hunt is unbelievable.
Where is Jeff Sessions? Where is the GOP?
I bet they are. Just like the Deep State front CrowdStrike helped with the DNC email situation.
I won’t believe a word of what Zuckerberg and co. report on Trump.
... And no mention of the Obama campaign’s similar tactics in 2012...
Obama was praised for manipulating Farcebook data. This is is insufferable conduct by the liberal ruling class elite.
I am sick and tired of their “vision” of the America my father fought for in the South Pacific, his twin brother flew in a B17 in Europe for, and my best friend’s dad died for.
Of course they are..but 8 years of giving personal data to Obama’s people, no biggie..hey is that “Kill Donald Trump” facebook page still around..doubt they shut it down, but they can shut down Diamond and Silk’s page because hey they are dangerous, I mean look at them, obviously they are dangerous folk/sarc
How many Russian ‘hackers’ does FussBook have working for them? or is that confidential too?
Maybe the FBI can look into any voting irregularities that might have happened at the polls and clean up the voter rolls. Just in case any Trump supporters voted twice.
I'd guess this has to do with the February indictment of Russians using Facebook to gin up the #NotMyPresident movement -- among other things.
But of course they are. Every Progressive is a soldier in the Hate America Army.
Cause it’s only a crime if someone other than the Dems do it.
“Our work with the special counsel is confidential,” he said, testifying to the Senate Judiciary and Commerce committees.
NO IT IS NOT!!!
Congress has ALL the power in washington, the executive and judicial branch operate according to the whims of CONGRESS!
“U.S. CODE
TITLE 2—THE CONGRESS
CHAPTER 6—CONGRESSIONAL AND COMMITTEE PROCEDURE; INVESTIGATIONS
Sec. 193. Privilege of witnesses
No witness is privileged to refuse to testify to any fact, or to produce any paper, respecting which he shall be examined by either House of Congress, or by any joint committee established by a joint or concurrent resolution of the two Houses of Congress, or by any committee of either House, upon the ground that his testimony to such fact or his production of such paper may tend to disgrace him or otherwise render him infamous.”
Simply look up Hinds Precedents, especially chapters 53 and 51, and Cannon’s Precedents, especially chapters 184-185. You’ll find numerous detailed cases of Congress asserting its power, arresting people, holding them until they agreed to answer questions, and then releasing them. Some of these people did not refuse to appear, but simply failed to satisfactorily answer questions. One has to wonder how a previous Congress might have responded to Alberto Gonzales’s endless recitations of “I do not recall.”
Congress can Remove the President
Congress can remove the head of every executive agency Congress can remove ALL of their employees
Congress can Abolish every agency they so choose
Congress can remove EVERY JUDGE IN AMERICA, including every supreme court justice.
Congress can abolish every federal court except the supreme Court
Congress can decide which cases the Judicial Branch can hear and decide
CONGRESS can Imprison ANYONE they want for any reason they so desire for as long as they wish.
Congress can declare WAR
No other governing body has even 10% of the power CONGRESS has!!
CONGRESS IS ALLOWING ALL OF IT!!!
Congress has the authority to arrest and imprison those found in Contempt. The power extends throughout the United States and is an inherent power (does not depend upon legislated act)
If found in Contempt the person can be arrested under a warrant of the Speaker of the House of Representatives or President of the Senate, by the respective Sergeant at Arms.
Statutory criminal contempt is an alternative to inherent contempt.
Under the inherent contempt power Congress may imprison a person for a specific period of time or an indefinite period of time, except a person imprisoned by the House of Representatives may not be imprisoned beyond adjournment of a session of Congress.
Imprisonment may be coercive or punitive.

In 1857, a New York Times reporter refused to say which members of Congress had asked him to get them bribes (protecting his “sources” just as various Judith Millers today protect the people who feed them proven lies that costs thousands of lives), so Congress locked him up until he answered and then banned him from Congress.
In 1924 an oil executive appeared but refused to answer certain questions, so the Senate held — literally held — him in contempt. Senator Thomas Walsh of Montana argued that this question of contempt was of the gravest importance, and that it involved “the very life of the effective existence of the House of Representatives of the United States and of the Senate of the United States.” The matter was taken to court, and the witness fined and imprisoned.

No mention of uranium one, no mention of the Clinton Foundation. Like Jan Brady obsessing about Russia Russia Russia.
