Suddenly Democrats who have long turned a blind eye to corruption within the Department of Justice (DOJ) are now worried about its weaponization.
Their timing could not be more disingenuous; it came during a hearing Tuesday, less than 24 hours after clear evidence that former President Joe “Autopen” Biden used the FBI to spy on Republicans.

It’s amazing that you rarely hear the left bring up Nixon anymore.
The irony - nay, ‘hypocrisy’ - SCREAMS this week.

Prior to trump the uni-party had an understanding that nobody airs dirty laundry from the FBI, DOJ, etc.
Sunlight is the best disinfectant.
Well, in all fairness, the FIB was just trying to make sure some of the RINOs, like Lindy, were still on board.
