Mr. Schiff, please spare me the pious lecture and phony indignationSpare me the pious lecture and phony indignation. Rep. Adam Schiff, D-Calif., threw an apoplectic fit the other day when he learned that what he did to others was done to him. There is some perverse irony in all of this. But, of course, Schiff neglected to mention his own hypocrisy.

Their data was seized pursuant to grand jury subpoenas served on...
