3. Adam's committee should hold hearings.

[Bev54]

34. He said it has to be others to do the investigation and hearings

He does not want it to look like retaliation and we all know that is exactly what the GOP would make it. Somebody needs to do something, and start screaming, people need to know this will not stand.

4. Hopefully Garland will not say it won't be investigated...

[bahboo]

5. go after those fascist fucks...

or suffer the consequences....

[StarfishSaver]

6. I wonder about the mechanism for investigating this

It might be difficult for DOJ to do it because it would essentially be investigating itself and that could be problematic. And a congressional committee could have the complimentary problem. They'll no doubt have hearings, but a full-blown investigation may be difficult for them to do.

A special counsel?

It will be interesting to see how this develops.

9. Why not an IG?

[reACTIONary]

10. +10 nt

[triron]

13. Congress and the IG. Maybe a special investigatpor

[StarfishSaver]

19. Perhaps an IG from another department

But the Inspector General of DOJ may be too close to it. And the IG has no prosecutorial powers.

7. For her guy made Nixon look like a saint.

8. Sessions and Barr need to testify under oath.

[triron]

12. And Garland.

[Peppertoo]

37. Garland had nothing to do with this.

[Autumn]

36. Add Rod Rosenstein to that too.

[triron]

11. Garland and others in the DOJ need to testify.

[gab13by13]

14. This is the tip of the iceberg

Eric Swalwell just stated he too was spied on.

Wait and we will find out the Bidens were probably spied on.

15. Is Apple obligated

to turn over all of this data? Wouldn't their legal people know this was improper?

[StarfishSaver]

20. If they had a subpoena, they didn't have much choice

[BigmanPigman]

16. Everyone is calling for the "cleaning house" of the DOJ.

The whole DOJ! Garland has some explaining to do too.

[gab13by13]

23. I understand that Garland has explaining,

but understand this, MF45 left his goons all over government, MF45 is gone but many of his goons remain. Merrick Garland has the job of weeding them out. I was hard on Garland why he didn't intervene in Arizona but he inherited a mess at Justice. He is speaking tomorrow about the election situation, let's give him a chance to respond tomorrow, I guarantee this will come up.

[LudwigPastorius]

26. Before the election I said that...

Biden needs to implement a total de-Nazification of the government. It was the necessary thing to do in Germany after WWII and it remains necessary right now, right here at home, if we are to avoid another fascist attempt by Trump to seize power.

32. DU REC

[Duppers]

17. YES! +1000. DOJ, get on this!

[spanone]

18. LOCK. HIM. UP.

[dalton99a]

21. Kick

[jalan48]

22. And Garland knew nothing about this? The NYT is leading the way?

[gab13by13]

24. Garland may not have known about this

MF45 left a lot of his goons at Justice. Those are the people who need to be subpoenaed and answer questions.

[jalan48]

25. Yes, he may not have known. I wonder if he will be holding a press conference about it tomorrow.

[gab13by13]

27. He is holding a conference tomorrow

about the election situation, I'm sure he will have to respond to this.

[jalan48]

29. Great Thanks. I'll be watching this one.

[monkeyman1]

28. trump had his own little Nazi Gestapo going !!

[Fullduplexxx]

35. Well looks like we found the "deep state"

Remember the cons are projectionists

[AverageOldGuy]

30. What will happen to Barr or his predecessor Jeff Sessions?

N O T H I N G !!!!! NOT A DAMN THING.

Neither Biden nor Merrick Garland has the balls to charge Barr or Sessions with high crimes.

Biden and Garland will shake their heads, proclaim how shocked they are, issue a mealy-mouthed statement, then, move on in the sake of "bipartisanship" or some other bullshit.

[orangecrush]

33. Thanks for your concern
