The CIA has been choosing the President for decades.

A whistleblower organization has initiated a court action to force the Department of Justice to disclose why it spied on congressional staff, setting up a landmark legal battle on an issue that has rankled both Republicans and Democrats.
Last fall, several current and former congressional oversight staff were belatedly informed that the Justice Department seized phone and email records in 2017 in an internal investigation, raising concerns about separation of powers between two branches of government.
Jason Foster, who is now the founder and chair of Empower Oversight, the group which sued in court this week to unseal the court documents in which the DOJ explained why it wanted the subpoenas kept secret, was one of the former Senate staffers whose phone and email records were seized by the DOJ.
At the time of the subpoena, Foster was the chief investigative counsel for Sen. Chuck Grassley, who served on the Senate Judiciary Committee. The Senator and his committee were probing the department over its handling of the Crossfire Hurricane investigation into President Trump’s campaign.
“Ever since the botched Crossfire Hurricane investigation came to light, the FBI and Justice Department have gone to great lengths to cover up and distract from their own malfeasance. Their actions only serve to underscore the importance of Congress’ constitutional oversight responsibility. This attack on congressional investigators will not deter us from that duty, and the department must answer for this abuse,” Senator Grassley told Just the News last October.
Though the initial DOJ subpoena dates from 2017, the department asked the court ex parte—without notifying the other party—to keep its surveillance action secret six years, Just the News previously reported.

I’d like them to explain why they did it to Trump.
I know! A strongly worded letter!
They know too
The Deep State killed Kennedy, framed Nixon, tried to destroy Reagan, setup Bush43 and undermined Trump in every way.
Wake up folks, your vote is irrelevant and your investigations are pointless as the Deep State consolidated power so nobody can oppose them.
Senator Grassley voted to fund the FBI.
I’m just saying.

The CIA has been choosing the President for decades.
Read about how they killed Kennedy and framed Nixon when he figured out what they did to Kennedy.
I would really like to know what’s in the remaining JFK files that Trump promised to declassify but didn’t.
Sen. Graham says FBI has his phone after potential hacking attempt
The Armed Services Committee first engaged his (FBI analyst Dan Jones’) client’s services in spring 2017 while McCain was chairman, the filing revealed, and Jones performed his work free of charge for more than a year through The Democracy Integrity Project, also known as TDIP.
That is not true. Our vote determines who chairs the legislative oversight committees.
Put Matthew Whitaker in as interim AG again, send him the criminal referrals for Deep State actors, and we will begin the process of taking back lawful governance.
Only the Deep State itself - and its WEF overlords - would want us to give up, as you seem to be suggesting we do.
If you want to roll over and die, that’s your choice. But to try to get everybody else to join you is.... Deep State.
Let me save them an investigation.
Because they’re commies and they are well on their way to taking down the nation!
I think we spend too much time requesting information and not enough time arresting and detaining .
That is not true. Our vote determines who chairs the legislative oversight committees.
....
Not anymore.
No idea why they would spy on the guy investigating them for spying on Trump. Not a clue.
They do not care if we are spied on, but do not spy on Congress.
It still does, if we vote in numbers too big for the election to be stolen, though after listening to excerpts from “Let My People Go” I have to say it’s maddening that we have so much evidence of election fraud and still nothing was done about it.
Election fraud is the ultimate Deep State sabotage of this country.
And how in the blooming heck could a judge rule that non-citizens have to be allowed to vote in federal elections in AZ? When those non-citizens are illegals it’s like telling the judge that he/she has to let the accused have a vote on the jury. It’s asinine; how can that ruling stand? Was that judge one who was spied on with “The Hammer”?
I was thinking about why people don’t have Trump bumper stickers. They don’t want their car to be vandalized by leftists. They don’t have yard signs because they don’t want leftists to trespass and destroy the signs. That threat keeps the nation from seeing clearly just how much support there is for Trump, which makes it easier for election fraud.
I was thinking a person should have a security camera for their car and have 2 bumper stickers side by side. The first is a Trump sticker. The second is a PSA announcement: Keying a car is a felony. You will pay for the damage and lose your right to vote.
