Justice Department Secretly Obtains AP Phone Records

The Associated Press is protesting what it calls a massive and unprecedented intrusion into its news gathering. The target of that wrath is the U.S. Justice Department, which secretly collected phone records for several AP reporters last year.

Correct.

So no eavesdropping on members of congress by Obama.

 

[miniyou64]

This is disturbing no matter where you sit. Spying on members of Congress without just cause, would be a rather huge abuse of power.

If anyone should be spied on its them. Of both sides. The government shouldn’t be spying on the people. That’s the real abuse of power.

 

[mozumder]

Why would anyone take a N.Y.T. article at face value? And for heavens sake all the Obama spying on the news media.

Give it a break guys. Why is Trump still in your shorts?

Are you implying that something was false in the article?

Please specifically state what was false, and provide the evidence.

There were no requests on opposing members of congress when the other party was in power.

Were you under the mistaken assumption that there were?

Please quote a reference for this statement.

Still not as bad as when Obama spied on a presidential candidates campaign

You asserted that Obama spied on a presidential candidates campaign without any evidence.

Is there anything else from your wonderful imagination that you want to make up?

 

[Duane Martin]

And this is why, regardless of which end of the political spectrum you find yourself on (or for those few remaining in the middle), you never want Apple to allow a back door for the authorities on any of your devices. Even with the best of intentions initially the opportunity for abuse is too great.

Are you referring to the time Obama “spied” on a campaign that paid for Russian intelligence, met with Russians and Russian oligarchs, while Russia interferes with a US presidential election, then threatened Ukraine and cuddled up with Russia? Is that the “not as bad as when Obama” moment you inaccurately are remembering?

Oh no, I was talking about the pictures of Hunter smoking crack with hookers. What’s the tangible trump equivalent to that?

There isn’t any because you answered that yourself, Hunter was never president so no tangible equivalent. Thanks for playing.

Drug use is prevalent in every state, and especially so in Republican states. You are not making any sense.

Who cares about Hunter Biden? He had a drug addiction problem. And wasn't running for office.

 

[dukebound85]

Must consult with CNN brain lessor Master Brian Stelter, will report back shortly with findings and pass them off as my own with no self awareness. And verbatim.

also Adam schiff is a patriot! 4 years of gaslighting and getting accolades from the people that continue to be duped by his russiagate mental illness bull. He deserves a Medal of Honor

gaslighting is somehow more than fitting for the GOP and their followers

Your logic is like Trump’s: we committed a crime in secret, and it leaked out. we are not the criminals. The leaker is the criminal for leaking our crime.

Edward Snowden has entered the chat.

 

[BvizioN]

Republicans only tear down. They don’t build anything.

Not correct. They build the US/Mexico border wall.

 

[Scoob Redux]

Clearly the conservative side of the equation favors an autocratic government. Their perception of Patrotism is absolute loyality to an individual as opposed to the proper perception, loyality to ones country. Their intentions were clearly defined and predicted from the beginning. No surprise here.

hmm. that sounds really familiar. i could swear it happened once before in history.

 

[sw1tcher]

Bringing up Hunter Biden's drug addiction problem is like someone bringing up Fred Trump's alcohol addiction. It's grasping at straws.

 

[Eso]

The ass incited an insurrection against the government of the United States. Why can't you people get that through your head? He should be exiled at best and sentenced to death for treason at worst.

If that is true, then why did Congress acquit him in impeachment?

Lol. Please. We’re not the ones who attempted to a coup.

Please. You honestly think that the the most gun-loving segment of the populace attempted to overthrow the government without using guns? They were just a bunch of idiots who turned mob that aimlessly rioted like all the other criminal "protesters" all year long. Coups imply organization and a hierarch of leadership.

 

[dukebound85]

If that is true, then why did Congress acquit him in impeachment?

The Senate acquitted...because the senate was controlled by GOP.

This sounds an awful lot like "it wasn't teargas at Lafayette square" when it was effectively teargas.

The lengths you go to defending what happened on 1/6 is sad.

Trump supporters were wanting hostages and to stop the certification of an election. People died. But go ahead and say "it wasn't really a coup"

 

[sw1tcher]

If that is true, then why did Congress acquit him in impeachment?

Loyalty to Trump and the party is more important than loyalty to the country.

Except to the 7 Republican Senators who voted for impeachment

7 GOP Senators Voted To Convict Trump. Only 1 Faces Voters Next Year

Alaska Sen. Lisa Murkowski will face voters in 2022, but her state's new primary and voting system likely means she'll be in less danger of losing her primary.

www.npr.org

Seven GOP senators voted with Democrats — the most bipartisan impeachment vote in U.S. history — but well short of the 17 needed to convict the former president.


I mean, just look at all the terrible things Trump said of Ted Cruz and Cruz said of Trump. But now Ted Cruz is kissing Trump's behind every chance he gets. And Ted Cruz isn't the only one Trump trashed -- there was also Marco Rubio and Lindsey Graham -- but they're all now buddies with Trump.

They were all afraid of voting to impeach -- no backbone -- because they didn't want what happened to Liz Cheney to happen to them.

 

[whirldy]

It will ALL come out what that grifter admin was up to 🤥

 

[wigby]

Umm, hate to break it to you but "Conservatives" favor small government and less freedom damping regulations.

Hate to break it you but you are both describing the same thing using different words.

 

[Machead2012]

I totally despise, loath, detest and hate politics but I have only one word.......Fauci.

 

[SBlue1]

Is this legal in the US?

 

[laudern]

Republicans only tear down. They don’t build anything.

Lol says the guy who supports the party that has literally burned the country down in the last year.

 

[ironpony]

funny how so many love more rules, more taxes, more gov, more media opinions ...... We are here for a good time not for a long time.

 

[Zab the Fab]

This is disturbing no matter where you sit. Spying on members of Congress without just cause, would be a rather huge abuse of power.

Leaking is not a just cause? They investigated Trump without having any evidence of any crimes, multiple times, and every time it turned out to be false they quickly moved on to the next accusation without evidence.
