Even before this, I think it came out a year or two ago from google that DOJ was spying on congressional staffers. And it had nothing to do with J6.

I get what you are saying about holding Congress accountable, but I feel like we have a completely out of control security apparatus. It appears Tulsi, Kash, and Bongino are having a tough time reeling it in.

My understanding is that the judges are selected at random, but if they can get around that by making the request after hours. If they do that, they will get whoever is on call that night/weekend. They wait to ask for a subpoena based on who is on call, so it would be interesting to see if they did that in this particular case. Did they request the subpoena at an odd hour when Judge Boasberg was on call?

They should not be above the law if a specific crime is suspected to have occurred.

What perceived violation of the law would warrant the blanket surveillance of hundreds of people all affiliated with the opposition party, specifically?

Again, this is the same as the policing power needing to be decreased argument. Same thing applies there and it's very intertwined.

However, we can't even have that discussion because of all the dishonesty and partisanship and hypocrisy involved. That's the actual larger point. It's a diversion to keep tribalism the focus so that people don't ask the right questions.

That's quite a gray area within our current system so you are kind of trying to straddle both sides.

Normal people get subpoenas against them like this everyday for even less articulated criminal behavior.

I wondered about that -- my guess is J6 BS.

I'm quite positive they were not wiretapped

Records were subpoenaed

There is a much lower bar for subpoenas

Also, I fully expect people who were duped by dishonesty who think things like wiretapping happened are going to respond like I'm being pedantic for explaining the dishonesty even though it's a perfect example of how it corrupts the thought process of casual observers

What other term covers a subpoena of a sitting senator's phone records, along with an unveiled threat of retaliation?
