Grief I would hope so. No wonder the magas were so ripe for a cult, our govt has become so corrupted by money & power. To think that you can bribe a Supreme Court justice to the tune of over $4M & no one does anything about it.
I agree with you, P. J. I thought that AOC had submitted, was it a petition or other document to impeach and remove those SCOTUS Justices who have taken gifts (a/k/a BRIBES). The fact that Clarence Thomas would accept so much yet claim to be impartial while having made some very questionable decisions is an insult to citizens of this country. Who is over a Supreme Court? I’m hoping we are able to have the House and the Senate out of the hands of Trump’s MAGATS and maybe something may be accomplished by the next Congress.
What would it take to remove corrupt SCOTUS justices.
Stop being so damned negative & dismissive of everyone. I agree with most of what you comment, but there’s no need to call everyone other than yourself, dumb. Many of us DO see the problem & are trying to do what we can to correct it. I’m not on board with an armed revolution.
…are you for real ? …if you think you don’t deserve what’s on and what’s coming - you are one of the reasons, WE ARE THE SAME COUNTRY sharing same land and citizenship - WE ARE ALL RESPONSIBLE and if you offended by me calling americans stupid then you are hopeless and never learn anything
Sadly, this doesn’t surprise me, in fact Trump has operated this way his entire life. Everything Trump, hide, lie, project. Everyone else, including his colleagues, get as much dirt on them, any way possible to bend them to my will. Anything for “Orange Jesus”
I don’t take this election as anything that resembles a normal run of the mill election. Compared to watergate, it’s so much worse. During Watergate we had a justice system that wasn’t horribly corrupt as we have today. There were guardrails, the Republicans did the right thing and made Nixon resign. You won’t find a republican today that can make Trump do the right thing. When I say “it doesn’t surprise me” don’t mistake that for apathy. I am well aware these are dangerous times in America. Trump and his minions want violence whether they win or lose. Trump has demanded it. When a country falls it’s because the justice system will not stop the evil from holding power. I have no faith in our justice system. God help us is right.
I understand you, but I would also point out that many Republican judges threw out their phony 2020 election lies. Many others have held our right to vote in hundreds of election law cases since then.
SCOTUS is corrupt and many others are as well, like the 5th circuit, but its not all completely gone.
That was then though. Back when a few still choose to do the right thing. I'm not being cynical when I say this. I genuinely wonder how many aren't compromised by now. We're coming up on 5 years since then. Alot has happened and none of it good.
To the contrary, if you check out Democracy Docket newsletter, they’ve been tracking all the voting laws and lawsuits. They have a running tally that shows we’ve won twice as many as we lost and the vast majority of the serious cases.
So far, the guardrails are holding. We do our part and trust them to do theirs (with a heavy dose of scrutiny). Otherwise, we’ve already lost. I have hope for building a better future. I think people are finally realizing how close we came to the worst case scenario.
I knew the answer was yes before even reading the article, because Trump accused Obama and democrats of the same thing against him. Every accusation from him always is a confession.
Definitely projection in everything Trump and his cronies accuse their opponents. Now, they've gotten a true following of wannabes who think they'll be bestowed with wealth and power. Whoa, won't they be surprised!!!
I've been keeping a Maltego graph of MAGA world since this time in 2020. I'd start with reading on Phil Waldron, then pull threads from there. This is really two separate issues, too. The laptop is one sort of thing, the surveillance quite another.
If we ever needed Merrick Garland to step up to the plate it's now. If I'm not mistaken it's illegal for our government to do surveillance operations on American citizens unless it's for national security reasons. The CIA is not supposed to work within the US. This should be at the top of every news station, newspaper and on line media. But something tells me we won't hear a peep. Thank you for reporting this very important information
Well well Not Surprised by this ruthless fn criminal everything he does is illegal!! And NOTHING HAPPENS TO HIM 😡😡 Tired Of This Mfr Getting Away With Everything 😡😡 DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT!!!! There Needs To Be Consequences For This 😡 It’s Illegal AF 😡😡😡😡
Our “Intelligence Community” needs to get their shit together. Doesn’t anyone have a conscience anymore? Does an oath mean anything? Is it all about money! Why do I waste my time wondering? Don’t answer that.
"The private surveillance program was run by former or retired employees of the United States Intelligence Community." It sounds to me like these people would be the REAL Deep State, yes? People outside the government using government resources to gain access to info on current government officials? I hope and expect the Committee to make time for this whistleblower in a timely manner. Thank you for sharing, such that we may look for this hearing!
Why is this even a surprise? Donald Trump has been stating that he will seek revenge (I will be your retribution) if he wins the election. He has specifically named the individuals also named in this letter. Donald Trump is now telling the American public at his rallies about the “enemies from within”. Again - these individuals are some of his chief targets.
The letter is evidence of what Trumps people are doing to maintain surveillance on where his targets are located.
What is done about it will depend on the election and what happens afterwards.
I think Serghiy may be a Russian troll. If you read his posts aloud you can hear the cadence and word placement is not how American English sounds. J/ S
I don’t think so, I’ve read many of their comments & I truly believe they’re trying to warn us, to grab us by the shoulders & shake us awake to the danger.
Okay then.... this is slightly* worrisome. Not that I don't believe this could happen, rather I can REALLY believe this has been happening.
My head hurts now😠😡
Will we EVER be free from that odious 🍊💩 gibbon and his minions?? E. T. T. D.
The reason he doesn’t keep company with wholesome, untouchables is because he cannot blackmail them.
Truth to THAT 😵💫😵💫
Let the truth and the facts continue to shine light on this uncertain time
👏👏👏👏🇺🇸
Dubious, considering TPTB Jean!
I want to go back to when Orwell’s ‘1984’ was fiction.
And Idiocracy was a movie not a documentary.
Sooooo VALID
And does this mean there will be charges by the law for running illegal surveillance?
That remains an open possibility.
Grief I would hope so. No wonder the magas were so ripe for a cult, our govt has become so corrupted by money & power. To think that you can bribe a Supreme Court justice to the tune of over $4M & no one does anything about it.
The corruption falls in line with the usual Uber wealthy elites who run this country P. J. !

…EXACTLY !
…hahahahahahaha are you fucking serious ?! …our country as dumb as bag of fucking hammers !

Wow. I didn’t know this.
Stop being so damned negative & dismissive of everyone. I agree with most of what you comment, but there’s no need to call everyone other than yourself, dumb. Many of us DO see the problem & are trying to do what we can to correct it. I’m not on board with an armed revolution.
…i’ll get back to you on that a few months from now
…are you for real ? …if you think you don’t deserve what’s on and what’s coming - you are one of the reasons, WE ARE THE SAME COUNTRY sharing same land and citizenship - WE ARE ALL RESPONSIBLE and if you offended by me calling americans stupid then you are hopeless and never learn anything
Come on. We all know how this works. He’s a bad, bad man and has done yet another really bad thing. Nothing to see here. Turn the page and move on.
I don’t understand why he gets away with crimes, always has. Grassley is my senator. He looks the other way.
Trump’s not President yet.!!!!
No, no one will be charged because the right wing propoganda machine will spin the story to their benefit.
External operatives or retired ones, but they still used internal data, machines & methods, illegal for them still to use to do it.!!!
I am OK with whistleblowers. I just wish they would come forward sooner. It always feels as if it's just a little bit too late, you know?
Half of them perhaps, the other half peerless in vacuous idiocy!
We’ll see how “good” they are at the poles. Just sayin’.

We’ve reached the point where we have essentially another watergate, but we’re all just like “yeah, that checks out.”
God help us.

It’s close, abortion is just one example. Trump should have been criminally investigated on January 7th. I blame Garland for that.
Garland wasn't AG until March 2021 because 30 Senators didn't want him, or any other AG to be appointed by Biden.
Point taken but I still think Garland should have appointed a special counsel the first day of his taking the position

Not me, I’m certain this is hair on fire time; but those that actually have power seem to not be doing anything

And you can be damn sure…there’s volumes of trumpery yet to be exposed!
This dude does stuff fifteen million times more problematic than Watergate but is still a viable candidate? What the heck, America?
