Showing Original Post only (View all)BOOM: Trump Used DOJ to Get Dirt On McGahn! [View all]
https://www.cnn.com/2021/06/13/politics/don-mcgahn-justice-department-apple-account-records/index.htmlApple informed former White House counsel Don McGahn and wife that their records were sought by DOJ in 2018
(CNN)Former Trump White House counsel Don McGahn and his wife received disclosures from Apple last month that their account records were sought by the Justice Department in February 2018, while McGahn was still the top lawyer representing the presidency, according to a person familiar.
The New York Times first reported McGahn's situation on Sunday.
The pursuit was under a nondisclosure order until May, indicating the Justice Department went to a judge multiple times to keep it secret throughout former President Donald Trump's years in office.
It is extraordinary to subpoena a White House counsel's records.
The Justice Department appears to have accessed McGahn and his wife's information the same month the department swept up Apple's data related to dozens of phone numbers and email accounts connected to the House Intelligence Committee, including for two of its Democratic members.

Not only was he abusing his power to get dirt in his enemies but also his closest allies. Explains how so many GOP who werent really fans became complete lap dogs.
