Only senators get to sue?
What about us ordinary folks who had the FIB show up on our doorsteps and wound up on Biden’s enemies list?
What about us ordinary folk who had the election STOLEN from us with J6 playing a huge part in The Steal?
Baby steps man, baby steps. Don’t piss on a good thing.
This only hurts the taxpayers. If they want to accomplish something then they need to push for criminal charges against those involved.
Disgusting.
💯
Props to Thone for getting this in.
Sounds like a democrat admission of fault to me !
The real purpose of this is to prove Obama/Jarrett/Comey/Brennan/etc. were spying on opposition party members of Congress.
Do you think that might be something useful?
DANG! I should have posted more! ;-)
Sure, let’s let the corrupt deep state do what they will to the candidate Trump, his friends, family, election team, advisers and President Trump and his advisers and cabinet members. And when the deep state goes after congress, well no hard feelings — as long as you pay us some money, we won’t sue you in court or prosecute you for your crimes.
Our nation is wholly corrupt.
As a poor suffering Real American taxpayer, I BIGLY resent having to pay for the illegal activities of these LIEberal scofflaws!
The LIEberal scofflaws should be forced to pay!
NOT ME AND OTHER POOR SUFFERING TAPAYERS!

Republican senators have slipped a provision into the Continuing Resolution bill to re-open government, that forbids the DOJ or Judicial branch from subpoenas targeting their phone records. The Senate will be protected from abuses to the 4th amendment, but you and me – no such luck.
Additionally, as further evidence to the structural priorities of the professional Republicans, if the legislative provision is violated, each instance of violation will result in a $500,000 payment to the senator. Go figure.
WASHINGTON DC – Senate Republicans secured a provision in the bipartisan, shutdown-ending government funding package that could award senators hundreds of thousands of dollars for having their phone records collected without their knowledge as part of a Biden-era investigation.
[…] It was tucked into the legislative branch spending measure for fiscal year 2026, part of a three-bill “minibus” of appropriations measures that Senators were set to vote on Monday night alongside a continuing resolution to fund the government through Jan. 30. The House is expected to clear the package for President Donald Trump’s signature as early as Wednesday.
[…] The provision states that electronic services providers must notify a Senate office if the provider receives a request to disclose the data from that senator, or senator’s office. Moreover, the legislative language stipulates that the provider cannot be barred from notifying the senate office under a court order, though that notification may be delayed in the event the senator in question is under criminal investigation.
[…] This portion of the legislative branch appropriations bill also appears to provide a cash bonus for those Senators who were targeted by Smith’s probe. If the provision included in the bill is violated, the Senator can sue the federal government, and if the lawmaker succeeds in the case, the person will be awarded $500,000 or more for each violation by the government.

Don’t forget, in the last FISA-702 reauthorization, Congress also forbade any member of the legislative branch from being subject to the illegal use of the NSA surveillance system.
Congress is exempt from the FISA abuse they authorize on Americans, and Congress is exempt from subpoenas against their phone records that are authorized against Americans.
Seriously folks, we just cannot make this stuff up.


Whatever the merits of the Senators claim this CR is not the place or time.
So much for a clean resolution.
It’s the holiday season: Let’s pin all sorts of ornaments on the tree!
Investigate the fistbump.
That’s REALLY fkd up !
Did our rulers deign to allow the J6 political prisoners to sue for violation of their rights ??
Sacking the treasury.
Are you so unaware that you don't know about the criminal use of government agencies by Obam/Jarrett/Comey/Brennan/etc. to spy on their political opponents?
This ain't about getting anything free.
This is about proving in a court of law that the Democrat machine was committing crimes.
Do you think that might be something important?
If we don't put a bunch of them in prison, they are going to come back and put us in death camps.
