Come on now... Obama and Holder did the same thing
The Trump Justice Department secretly obtained Washington Post journalists’ phone records and tried to obtain their email records over reporting they did in the early months of the Trump administration on Russia’s role in the 2016 election, according to government letters and officials.
In three separate letters dated May 3 and addressed to Post reporters Ellen Nakashima and Greg Miller, and former Post reporter Adam Entous, the Justice Department wrote they were “hereby notified that pursuant to legal process the United States Department of Justice received toll records associated with the following telephone numbers for the period from April 15, 2017 to July 31, 2017.” The letters listed work, home or cellphone numbers covering that three-and-a-half-month period.
Cameron Barr, The Post’s acting executive editor, said: “We are deeply troubled by this use of government power to seek access to the communications of journalists. The Department of Justice should immediately make clear its reasons for this intrusion into the activities of reporters doing their jobs, an activity protected under the First Amendment.”

and to think trump attempted a coup d'etat in broad daylight, personally, and now hangs out in FLA continuing to plot and give it another go
there HUGE holes in the Constitution
Come on now... Obama and Holder did the same thing
It boggles my mind the depths Trump went to to retain power. I was literally counting the hours until the inauguration because of what I believed Trump was capable of.
But this wreaks of Authoritarianism. Trump rules like an authoritarian. He wants complete control and demands complete loyalty. He enriches his friends and supporters and doesn't give a shit about his non-supporters which is over half of America.
RepubliQans vilify the left with the socialism label but I'd rather live in a country with socialism over authoritarianism. But I'm still a capitalist at heart.
Republican Congressman Ken Buck:
“We’re at a time in American politics, that I am not going to lie on behalf of my presidential candidate, on behalf of my party. And I’m very sad that others in my party have taken the position that, as long as we get the White House, it doesn’t really matter what we say,”
Consider the ultimate judicial authority to which tRump's insurgency was nothing of a legitimate authority that abides by all core values of America, U.S. Constitutional law or federal law but a lawlessly hacked in and lawless atrocity on society:
Judge orders release of Trump obstruction memo, accuses Barr of deception
A federal judge has ordered the Department of Justice (DOJ) to release a March 2019 legal memo clearing former President Trump of potential obstruction of justice charges following the Mueller investigation, with the judge accusing former Attorney General William Barr and agency lawyers of deceiving the public.
District Judge Amy Berman Jackson on Monday ordered the DOJ to release the legal memo within two weeks in response to a Freedom of Information Act lawsuit filed by the liberal watchdog group Citizens for Ethics and Responsibility in Washington (CREW).
The DOJ had argued in court that the full memo — portions of which have already been released — should be withheld because it falls under exceptions to the public records law for attorney-client privilege and deliberative government decisionmaking."

I feel about the same way about this as I do women who claim rape, sometimes honesty, sometimes not......I expect to hear your complaint in a timely fashion.....if you cant be bothered to do that then maybe I dont care about your claim.
There is a high bar here.....the argument had damn well better be good.
This illegal illegitimate regime that runs America is at fault...not me.... they do not represent me and I have long objected to their crimes against humanity.
