    Some day, some of these wokesters will wake up after they have voted to create a police state with one party in control. Some of them, who have jobs in the government or who are getting special treatment from the government will be part of the problem.

    The constitution has safe guards for stuff like this, but the far left is out to scrap the constitution. Their little college professors told them the Nazis were bad, but they failed to point out that the communists are equally bad. In fact there is no difference between the Nazis and the communists. They are both totalitarians who demand strict obedience.

    This was reported in the news, and it should concern you. If Trump had done it, you would be screaming bloody murder, but since it’s the woke Justice Department, you are all for it.

    I think that despite this story having been posted three times here, what I can't help but notice is that each time these right wing sources obfuscate the point that these requests were being made to apprehend criminals. Law enforcement of the Trump administration asked private entities to help identify the perpetrators of a “heinous attack.” -Trump. “Like all Americans, I am outraged by the violence, lawlessness and mayhem,” also Trump.
    I know you have all revised history, but right after January 6 it was important to identify these criminal insurrectionists. I know that you now think of these people as heroes and "hostages" (that one really makes me want to puke) but that certainly was not the case then.

    Your fuhrer ususally tried to get around Senatorial confirmation. His favorite trick was the “acting” official. He maneuvered his political flunkies into key Pentagon positions,a nd tried to planet on as Attorney General as part of teh insurrection plot.

    Did senate republicans reject any of trump’s nominees?
    He had the power to nominate. If you are saying he was too scared to nominate who he really wanted, what does that say about him?

    It happened under Trump. This has NOTHING to do with Biden.

    Why repost the thread subject with deception when we already know of the lie?

    He's not the first one(see: Bush and Harriet Miers, which looks even worse considering the quacks that have been appointed to the high court since.). Again, this power like all of the other powers only made sense if we had the disicipline, restraint and intelligence of the framers.

    We don't, so the current configuration is what it looks like.

    yep, when Bush wanted the patriot act, I said at the time, make it a felony with a mandatory 5 yer sentence to prevent abuse - they didn't, so you knew it would be abused eventually

    But it has everything to do with government surveillance which needs to be curbed if you want to preserve your republic. Remember what Ben Franklin said after the constitutional convention. We have a republic if we can keep it.

    Please tell us when Trump did this? I don’t remember Trump weaponizing the FBI and Justice Department to harass and possibly jail his political opponents.

    Watch it because you have a big, fragile glass house around you. The conduct of your party is despicable.

    No. The bureaucracy in Washington is independent of all presidents. It can do what it pleases. This is a major problem.

    If Trump had be been in charge of this bunch of renegades, do you think that he would have sent them out to investigate the buying patterns of HIS SUPPORTERS after January 6?

    Possibly, and like I said he wouldn't be the first POTUS to do so. Honestly, I realize that the legislative body is something of a hinderance to itself as well as to the executive branch unless ideologically aligned.

    Fear mongering is a left wing thing. You call everyone every ist and ism that exists, claim they are going to put black people back in chains..etc etc etc. When it comes to the actual issues, the left wing cannot compete.

    Such an odd claim, coming from people who favor Trump. It is almost projection of sorts.

    It was TRUMPs department of the treasury that asked for the data and created the policy.

    The rouge departments run on their own, but I already tried to explain to you.

    The key question is, are you in favor of these government agencies going on these fishing expeditions with no court orders? It does not matter who the president is. It’s wrong.

    I know you will ignore that question.
