If Trump,was more like Obama he’d have been spying on Biden already.

FISA works both ways

Yep, we’re under siege by our own government.
“Our government is out of control, and there is zero concern and accountability on the part of the GOP in the Senate who have the power to do something, and our DOJ, and our FBI.”
The ZIP Codes That Rule America!:
BY: MICHAEL LIND, DECEMBER 16, 2020
The real divide isn’t between red states and blue states or cities and rural areas.
It’s between mega-rich political donors and everyone else.
In theory senators represent the citizens of their states and members of the House represent the people of their congressional districts. In practice they represent individual and corporate donors and political allies and future employers, who may live anywhere in the United States—or in some cases abroad. Joe Biden was the senator from the credit card industry, based in Delaware.
The donors to American politicians in all 50 states are concentrated in a few ZIP codes. According to Open Secrets, of the ZIP codes that delivered the most campaign funding for the Democrats in 2020, not counting dark money or soft money for liberal groups, four of the top five were in New York City (10024, 10023, 10022, 10011), followed by Chevy Chase, Maryland (20815), a suburb of Washington, D.C. Other top Democratic ZIPs this year were Silicon Valley (94301 and 94022) and Cambridge, Massachusetts (02138). New York City was also overrepresented among donors to the Republican Party, whose donor base is more geographically diverse, with a lot of money coming from Dallas, Atlanta, Las Vegas, and Palm Beach, Florida.
Most politicians follow the preferences of their donors, not their voters, when there is a conflict. “Who buys my bread, his song I sing,” as the old saying goes. Or, if you prefer another proverb: “The Golden Rule is whoever has the gold rules.”
“When the preferences of economic elites and the stands of organized interest groups are controlled for, the preferences of the average American appear to have only a minuscule, near-zero, statistically non-significant impact upon public policy.”
But to the extent our influence is limited to voting, most of us are just renters in American politics. The donors, wherever they happen to live, own it.

Crickets about journalists being under attack for their views and work....
The media is like a prostitute complaining her butt is endangered by christianity while it is being destroyed by satan. The level of hubristic hysteria and blackmail is unbelievable.
The only way to clean up the massive corruption is to actually enforce laws and hold people accountable. Make sure the laws are clearly written, so when someone like Hillary has illegal offsite emails, she actually gets a jail sentence. When the FBI gets caught issuing illegal FISA warrants, the head of the FBI is liable as well as those directly involved.
The reason people do this stuff is that they get away with it, like Hunter, failing to file a 400,000 income, a fin isn’t enough, jail would deter this.
Penalty for government not following the law? A sternly written memo.
More Obama foot prints found sloppy democrats never learn.
The FBI is rotten to the core. There might be a few “good apples”.
Why were rogue appointed officials in the DOJ and FBI not fired and replaced with people that would actually do their jobs, which would include arresting and prosecuting rogue appointed officials?
And whose fault is that? He has a horrible track record of appointed AG’s and the latest was so bad, that he completely ignored the performance of the DOJ for fear of tacitly agreeing that another pick was botched.
I believe his own ego was used against him by the deep state, and that was a major factor in allowing the DOJ to continue operating rogue.
