The Justice Department spied on two House members and several congressional staffers in a leak investigation without telling the courts, the agency's inspector general found in a sweeping investigation released Tuesday.
As a result, the department obtained phone records from the two members of Congress and 43 staff members including President-elect Donald Trump’s nominee for FBI director, Kash Patel, who worked as a staffer on the GOP-led House Intelligence Committee at the time.
The department initiated the probe to investigate leaks to the media of FBI classified information as part of the now-discredited Trump-Russia probe which had recently been shared with Congress.
Inspector General Michael Horowitz found that the Justice Department, in filings with the court, did not reference “the fact that they related to requests for records of Members of Congress or congressional staffers," despite implicating constitutional separation of powers between two government branches.

Subpoena Garland and everyone involved- if they do not show up arrest them 1/21/2025
DOJ and FBI are as corrupt as they can be, no wonder Trump wanted Gaetz and Patel - these places need to be cleaned out top to bottom.
And water will get you wet. What else is new?
So who is going to jail?
[crickets]
>>>DOJ and FBI are as corrupt as they can be...
Sick sick agencies! Thank GWD Garland didn’t end up as a judge on the highest court!
Did the liberal democrat politicians secretly train in Soviet Union Russia for years????
Another candidate for the Joe Biden 25 year pardon will be the Garland types. Defiantly corrupt.
Wouldn’t Gaetz be better as IG than Horowitz?
Horowitz appears to think his job is to protect the FBI.
You do not refer these cases to the Justice Department for prosecution until our team is in place.
Then hopefully the cases will be prepared and the indictments will get done.
Treason.
Two articles posted at two different websites today within 45 minutes of each other:
“Kash Patel Doesn’t Belong at the FBI” by John Bolton at the WSJ
Followed by:
“IG finds Justice Department spied on Patel and other Congressional staffer without telling Courts” by Steven Richards at Just the News.
Rather amusing I thought.
This is why I won't subscribe to the WSJ, taking a op-ed from Bolton is demeaning.
“Sick sick agencies! Thank GWD Garland didn’t end up as a judge on the highest court!”
That is one of the few things that McConnell got right.
Throw them in jail.
SO TRUE!
That sounds like laws were broken??
“This is why I won’t subscribe to the WSJ, taking a op-ed from Bolton is demeaning.”
My employer paid for my subscription. I retired four years ago. I guess eventually they will cancel it, but I’m not reminding them to do so.
Why, yes! Yes they did!
What would you expect from the Bidenstapo?
The Trump administration better drop any pretense of being conciliatory over the abuses that have occurred. Its time for some serious and swift accountability. Anything less will only ensure that these types of abuses will occur again and again.
The corruption must be weeded out now.
