DOJ To Investigate The Highly Unusual Seizure Of Data Belonging To Congress And Reporters.
“The Justice Department’s independent inspector general opened an investigation on Friday into the decision by federal prosecutors to secretly seize the data of House Democrats and reporters as investigators hunted down who was leaking classified information early in the Trump administration.
At the same time, top Senate Democrats demanded that the former attorneys general Jeff Sessions and William P. Barr testify publicly before Congress about the leak investigations, including about subpoenas issued to tech companies in 2017 and 2018 for the records of at least a dozen people tied to the House Intelligence Committee. The senators vowed to “vigorously investigate” and called on Republicans to join them.”
More shocking abuses of power will be reported in the months and years to come as the Trump Administration’s misdeeds are flushed out and brought into the open. The ability of the government to function and serve the people in the future rests on the ability to ensure that someone like Donald Trump never comes near the White House ever again. The only way to accomplish that goal is to make sure all of his abuses of power are shown the light of day and not buried in obscure bureaucratic dossiers never to be revealed to the general public.
