Exclusive \u2014 \u2018We Caught Them Red-Handed\u2019: DOJ Spied on GOP Staffers Probing the Origins of the Russia Collusion Hoax<\/h1>\n

Is anyone surprised?<\/p>\n

The article reports:<\/p>\n

The Department of Justice (DOJ) obtained private communications and other personal records of multiple Republican House and Senate staffers who were investigating the department\u2019s role in the origins of the Russia collusion hoax, according to former senior Trump administration official Kash Patel.<\/strong><\/p>\n

A recently-revealed subpoena shows that the DOJ sought the records for not only Patel when he was an investigator for then-Rep. Devin Nunes (R-CA), but also those of Jason Foster, who was at the time chief investigative counsel to then-Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley (I-IA) and was also looking into the DOJ\u2019s role in the hoax.<\/strong><\/p>\n

According to multiple subpoenas revealed so far, the DOJ had subpoenaed Google, Apple, and other companies to obtain private records in what Patel believes was an unlawful attempt to dig up dirt on them in retaliation for investigating the Democrat-pushed hoax that Donald Trump\u2019s campaign had colluded with Russia in the 2016 presidential election.<\/strong><\/p>\n

It is time to fire every supervisor and leader in the Department of Justice and replace them with people who are willing to respect the U.S. Constitution that they took an oath to uphold and protect.<\/p>\n

The article concludes:<\/p>\n

DOJ Inspector General Michael Horowitz is looking into the DOJ\u2019s use of subpoenas \u201cand other legal authorities\u201d to obtain the private communications records of lawmakers, staff, and journalists, according to the DOJ\u00a0Office of Inspector General<\/a>\u00a0website:<\/strong><\/p>\n

The DOJ OIG is reviewing the DOJ\u2019s use of subpoenas and other legal authorities to obtain communication records of Members of Congress and affiliated persons, and the news media in connection with recent investigations of alleged unauthorized disclosures of information to the media by government officials.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The review will examine the Department\u2019s compliance with applicable DOJ policies and procedures, and whether any such uses, or the investigations, were based upon improper considerations.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cWhether you hated us back then [because of] the Nunes memo \u2014 well, every report since then has said the same thing we did,\u201d Patel said. \u201cWe were the first out of the gate. The IG, John Durham, said there was no lawful basis to ever investigate Trump or his campaign and that FBI people lied to a federal court and the slew of other violations that they came up with.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cThey got caught. We asked them to help expose it and instead they doubled down and used the system of justice and FBI investigatory powers to try to take us out and silence us,\u201d he said.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m going to put Chris Wray, Rod Rosenstein \u2026 and other people in the hot seat under oath, and I\u2019m going to depose them, and demand they answer these questions, and we\u2019re going to watch them lie to the world,\u201d Patel said, adding that Rosenstein currently works at Wray\u2019s old law firm.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cNone of this is a coincidence. These people cover up for each other and Chris Wray is still covering up for them as a director of the FBI and I\u2019m going to expose it all,\u201d he said.<\/strong><\/p>\n

It’s time to either abolish the DOJ and the FBI or simply fire the executives and appoint new ones.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
