We recently uncovered proof that phone records of U.S. lawmakers were seized for political purposes. 
That abuse of power ends now. 
Under my leadership, the FBI will deliver truth and accountability, and never again be weaponized against the American people.

    Until there are SWAT raids and the wrong doers are handcuffed naked in the road in front of their home during rush hour in the morning then I will dismiss statements as probable BS.

    Not “usual” under Biden.
 Obama/Biden relentlessly spied on the Trump campaigns, conservative Republican congressmen etc.
To: SmokingJoe
    Yeah.
And no indictments, no arrests.
No predawn SWAT raids, making the occupants shiver in the cold while their houses and offices are turned upside down, while all their documents and electronics are carted away, before they are finally hauled off to jail after hours of shivering in the cold in their bed clothes.

    Comey’s been indicted with plenty more coming.
 Better to build a strong case before you prosecute.
 We don't want poorly built prosecutions.

    Maybe when there is a sufficient hard evidence/proof to get indictments and a trial? There is no point in arresting people if there is not enough evidence to indict them, no matter how much some are jonesin’ for raids and arrests-it has to result in real, long term consequences-not just instant gratification at the moment. This Latina loves venganza-but not just a slap-I like to see it good and hard...
