WASHINGTON (AP) — House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and other top Democrats called for an investigation on Thursday after The New York Times reported that the Justice Department under President Donald Trump seized the communications data of members of the House Intelligence Committee.

“The news about the politicization of the Trump Administration Justice Department is harrowing,” Pelosi, D-Calif., said in a statement. “These actions appear to be yet another egregious assault on our democracy waged by the former president.”

The Times reported Thursday that the DOJ subpoenaed Apple for data from at least two committee members, as well as aides and family members, in 2017 and 2018. The Times report anonymously cited committee officials and two other people briefed on the inquiry.

Among those whose records were seized was California Rep. Adam Schiff, then the top Democrat on the committee.

Hussien spied on Congress, Senate members and the MSM press...no outrage or care that it occurred.

Is this anything like Hillary Clinton having 900 FBI files illegally in the White House when she was first lady?

"yet another" - just like her fake outrage at the fake "assault on peaceful protesters" story that just was revealed to be a total like.

“Justice Department under President Donald Trump seized the communications data of members of the House Intelligence Committee.”

That seems perfectly reasonable given that Eric Fartwell was dating a Chinese spy.

Was the Justice Department even that much under Trump’s control during his Presidency?

Most of the government and a lot of the administration were part of the “resistance.”

I would have, too.

Everyone knew that Adam Schiff was passing around a memo of lies in an attempt to distract from Devin Nunes' actual truth.

Nothing that Schiff said publicly would ever be proved, and nothing was even presented. However, he was suspected of leaking intelligence to the LAAP-dog media when it suited the Democrats' needs.

A true psychopath always accuses innocent people of precisely what he/she is actually doing.

These democrats truly are psychopathic by nature.

May God’s Divine Wrath be upon all of them soonest.
