Republicans created the Patriot Act, the Dept of Homeland Security (DHS), and the Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI). The same agencies that Barack Obama later weaponized with the creation of the Dept of Justice National Security Division (DOJ-NSD).
The root issue around domestic surveillance and ultimately power & control, underlines Washington DC’s united opposition to Donald Trump.
Barack Obama and Eric Holder did not create a weaponized DOJ and FBI; the institutions were already weaponized by the Patriot Act. The Patriot Act turned the surveillance radar from pointing outwardly, to pointing inwardly, monitoring activity inside our nation. We The People were now the threat being monitored.

It's sweet that you posted your opinionThanks sweetie but it's not my opinion. I answered the question asked in the title. You obviously don't approve of the answer or any comments...Like I care.
My answer was the same as Kash Patel gave for the raid. You apparently don't know what he had to say about it. Or maybe you don't know who he is.
No hindsight to it. I was saying the same thing while he was screwing up. My posts since June of ‘17 will bear me out. Yeah, Trump and the country would have been much better off in May of ‘20 had he fired Barr and Wray and replaced them with non confirmable, six month temporary acting AG and FIB director. That idea of mine would have saved the country. I assume you had a better idea? Or were you fine with the four year dumpster fire of a cabinet and its aftermath?
Hmm, the put-downs aren’t working, either.
It’s 1938 Germany all over again.
Aw, diddums!
Because they live in a bubble and dont care. They have never been held accountable for illegality and there have not been real electoral or monetary losses for them.
