NY Times: Trump DOJ investigated House Dems, seized data
AP ^ | June 10 | AP

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.

Congress barely noticed when Obama spied on them and the media.

Republicans had no interest. Of course they wanted Giuliani to be prosecuted, and Trump’s kids, too.

With China Joe bumbling in England and about to get his lunch handed to him by Putin, and VP Giggles making a fool of herself in Guatemala I figured the media was going to have to change the narrative to take the attention away from the total incompetence of the two buffoons pretending to be POTUS and the VP.

“...called for an investigation...”

Beats working for a living.

Ah, the perks of having an idiot-level constituency to vote you into office...

>i>Eighteen months from now the NY Slimes will publish a “retraction”...on Page B22...in a small black box.

My immediate thought exactly. This is how they gaslight the public. The fake news is repeated ad nauseum on social media for a few weeks, then they move on to another lie. Once the first lie has been forgotten, they quietly retract it.

Won’t work on the rest-of-the-world media. We’ll be seeing reports about bumbling and buffoonery.

New York Times? Associated Press? I believe them almost as much as I believe the FBI.
Don’t they know that we know that as soon as President Trump asked the the Dept. of Just-us to look into any thing a Democrat was doing, it would have been leaked to the MSM?
Sheesh, what a bunch of maroons, they must think we are.

If this happened, I'd surmise it was authorized thru FISA.

How fitting, for the tables to be turned.

Many Democrat members of the House, including the Intelligence Committee, Homeland Security Com, etc have had documented ties to communist governments over the year.

Re the last 11 years only, how many members of either/or both of the Progressive Democrats Caucus or Congressional Black Caucus have been to Cuba, Venezuela, So. Africa (it is essentially run by the old Communist Party of So. Africa/SACP and its front, the ANC), Red China (oh that Rep. Judy Chu and Grace Meng), the PLO/Fatah, Hamas, The Iranians esp. their terrorism leaders, Syria’s genocidal leaders, MS-13 people, the Burmese dictatorship, Russia esp. supporting Putin’s invasion of the Ukraine and Georgia, the Zapatistas of Mexico, La Raza Unida, a Marxist founded irredentist movement founded by the mother of a US congressman and state politician, the infamous Castro brothers; the Marxist Working Families Party (Esp. in NY, Va., etc), or have in the past supported domestic communist fronts of the CPUSA, the Revolutionary Communist Party (Resist/Refuse Fascism) and the Stalinist “Workers World Party” (WWP) and its various fronts and united fronts including IAC (International Action Center); ANSWER - Act Now to Stop War and End Racism; United for Peace & Justice - a mixed Marxist group of WWPers, old CPers/Comm. of Correspondence faction, the Maoist/Trot “Not in Our Name” (NION) and related fronts?

Let’s not forget that AOC is a Puerto Rican Marxist/lunatic. Omar is a Somali refugee Marxist as is her father. Tlaib is a so-called Palestinian cause (i.e. terrorism) supporter.

How many of these congressthings have openly supported the avowedly “Marxist” Black Lives Matter violent riot/extortionist organization?

I haven even mentioned Antifa. Which Dems have prevented decent investigations of this and other violent street rioters/insurrectionists (remember ChopCity, etc in Seattle and Portland, etc.)

Need I ask more???
