The Associated Presshas made no secret of his long list of political enemies. It just wasn't clear until now how far he would go to try to punish them.
White House spokesman Andrew Bates said the conduct of Trump’s Justice Department was a shocking misuse of authority.The disclosure that the records had been seized raised a number of troubling questions.
Trump inveighed against leaks throughout his time in office, accusing a “deep state" of working to undermine him by sharing unflattering information. He repeatedly called on his Justice Department and attorneys general to “go after the leakers,” including singling out former FBI Director James Comey and Schiff, now chairman of the House Intelligence Committee.
Federal agents questioned at least one former committee staff member in 2020, the person said, and ultimately, prosecutors weren’t able to substantiate a case. The Republican Party is far too aligned with Trump to do that now, but it doesn't mean Biden should let it go, Naftali said.
They are all crooks! I don’t trust none of them!
How come law enforcement has no problems taking down a shoplifter, which has zero impact on people's lives but is squeamish when the crimes are abuse of power, obstruction of justice, tax evasion, and racketeering that are bringing down democracy in America?
Did he have an 'enemy kill list' like 'scandal-free' Obama did? How long since Susan Rice's husband worked for you? You're main guy donated to the Clinton Foundation. ABC News = Pravda for the DNC. LOL
The man owned a 'modeling' agency. He gave his models to his friends - and secretly recorded the encounters.
With a help of William Pelham Barr trump became more powerful..

Adam Schiff calls for investigation after report of his phone records being seized by Trump DOJRep. Adam Schiff called for an inspector general investigation of the Trump Justice Department after a report said that his phone records had been seized — what he condemned as a “terrible abuse of power” One would think with Garland in there for several months, he would have come to know about and would have started cleaning up if he was doing his job. Garland's behavior and inaction just doesn't add up. If he thinks protecting DoJ is his job, Biden should replace him. You mean the Trump appointed IG? Really? You’ll get nowhere. ZZZZZZZZZZZZ
