Spying on Congress? More Biden-Harris-Garland Abuse

As an old congressional investigator, some things really bother me. Dishonesty at the Justice Department is one. Attorney General Merrick Garland is a disgrace – and danger. He opposes textual interpretations of the First, Second, Fourth, Fifth, and Sixth Amendments. He resents individual rights, and how they limit government power to suppress rights – which is why they were framed. Now, he disavows another core principle, called “separation of powers.”

To be clear, separating powers among those who make our laws, administer them, and interpret them is ancient. It is not a MAGA idea. It goes back to the French scholar Montesquieu.

Montesquieu realized concentrated power is inherently dangerous, something John Locke before him and conservatives after him believed, from Edmund Burke and our Founders to virtually all presidents before FDR – who learned the hard way, trying to pack the Court. Diffuse power is safer.

This is why we have three “co-equal” branches of government, at the Federal and State levels, to check and balance each other’s actions, in this way to assure no one branch will abuse power, and we will never suffer the crushing effects of a one-party government.

Now comes the latest Merrick Garland abuse, piled on a mountain of Biden-Harris abuses, of constitutional process. They have amassed an impressive record for ignoring constitutional guarantees, Supreme Court decisions, and federal statutes against bribery, election interference, misuse of surveillance, insider trading, mandates, harassment, and pernicious prosecution.

In truth, no one is safe if the nation’s Justice Department is not fenced – or a White House permits the abuse of citizen rights. Unaccountable power is ultimately fatal. To date, attempts to reestablish accountability are unavailing, and the Justice Department is riddled with political bias.

Subpoenas, requests for testimony, documents, and traditional inter-branch cooperation, along with respect for unambiguous Supreme Court decisions, are ignored, while political opponents, parents at school board meetings, pro-life protestors, opposing candidates at all levels are boldly persecuted. Merrick Garland, and those ideologically behind centralizing power, are shameless.

Now comes a fresh revelation – one that should push any believer in this Republic, in the separation of powers, checks, and balances, and a sense of accountability – to the limit. Garland’s Justice Department not only suppressed documents tied to unlawful acts but surveilled congressional staffers – of both parties – investigating him. Knock me over with a feather, they have no limits.

That is right, the latest documents – uncontestable – indicate the Biden-Harris Department Justice under Garland surveilled mobile phones, emails, and digital activities of congressional members and staff investigating the Justice Department, including Senator Grassley’s own oversight staff.

The enormity of this breach of trust, and how it violates basic norms and precepts, like separation of powers, privacy, and citizen freedom from persecution by centralized government is hard to overstate. What Merrick Garland, obviously with tacit White House consent, did was abuse all Americans.

So, here is another revelation – one Kamilla Harris will duck, never address, just as she never addressed her personal or professional past, border czar record, pro-drug, pro-illegal alien, anti-Supreme Court, pro-overspending, pro-inflation, anti-energy, anti-parental rights record.

She will not be questioned on this, and will never have to answer for “spying on Congress,” but they did it. Specifically, the members and staff who were investigating DOJ violations were surveilled.

The shock should be an earthquake – the Rictor Scale hit above 9, or “extreme” – because this kind of action destroys the best system, hobbles democracy, and corrupts a Republic, Constitution, and rights. But watch … the media will cover for Marxism, and the whistleblowers will be harassed into silence.

That is where we are, why this election is not only important but absolutely vital. Truth is not just ignored but displaced. Those who seek power are abusing it … to keep it. This is new territory.

A complaint in federal court indicated that “the requested records are likely to show a startling failure by DOJ to respect the long-established separation of powers in the United States Constitution,” including efforts “to secretly surveil various congressional staff members… engaged in oversight of the DOJ …”

Is there any hope? Yes, there is – there always is – at the ballot box and in court. Despite the DOJ keeping unconstitutional surveillance of congressional oversight staff for six years, time is up. The card house Biden-Harris-Garland built, dishonorable and unconstitutional, is on its way down. As an old congressional oversight staffer, glad to see it – and hopeful we can end that kind of abuse.

They should have never let Garland get in office, why do you think Obama wanted him in there so bad when he was in office. Because he is a pawn of Obama. We need to get him out of there with all the other stinking Democrats.

Well, RBC. nothing new as most realize the extent of power abuse within the DOJ. For the most part, DOJ is nothing more than a technical and modern version of the KGB and Gestapo of the old days. Those behind the scenes continue to unravel the rights and freedoms of the populace. This election may be the “LAST STAND” for the nation.

Well, in the words of the great Southern philosopher Gomer Pyle “surprise, surprise, surprise!” Marxists are as Marxists do. For all who after multiple wars against communists, and a great cold war still don’t get that their motto is “the ends justify the means”, did you learn nothing from the disdain Obama had for the U.S. Constitution? Anyone who believes a Marxist can raise his/her hand to pledge allegiance to the U.S. Constitution, and intend to keep it when his/her ideology calls for the obliteration of that same document is more than naive, they are willingly ignorant in spite of all evidence to the contrary. The actions of these individuals not only should, but need to be investigated, charged, and prosecuted because it amounts to high crimes and misdemeanors that present a clear, and present danger to the security and survival of our nation, and are necessary to defend the U.S. Constitution, something each, and every federal civil servant swore and oath to uphold, and defend. Those unwilling to do so need to be charged with perjury, if we are expecting to maintain discipline, and loyalty among our federal employees.

I wouldn’t let anybody know it if I planned to vote for any democrat. You can’t get any lower, and you should move to the country that suits your taste.

The mention of three political philosophers Montesquieu, John Locke and Edmund Burke , all three had profound ideas about how government should operate properly, and all three had influence on the founding of this Nation is a great way to put the present situation in perspective — concerning the matter of respect for separation of powers. And there surely is hope for restoring Honor in this government . Those who want to usurp government power and attack the principles of the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution will be out . Those who disrespect truth are always out. So , it is a matter of in with what is good and out with what is bad and having balance in the system and having the government gears meshing properly . Those great political philosophers of the past . Montesquieu, John Locke and Edmund Burke can be appreciated through making the needed improvements at present that are described in this article.

Yes, these memorable “skill sets” were used when the Hillary Campaign initiated the “Russia Collusion” slander about Trump, and the FBI followed through with that, while also illegally surveilling Trump’s 2016 Presidential Campaign… with an invalid FISA Court warrant, based on false FBI testimony to the FISA Court.
The irony in this pattern is that so many hard-working, politically-conscious American people are left in the large, porcelain fixture, while the worthless, errantly-elected “Democrats” (who hate democracy) are pressing down on the handle.

Just more proof that they are pushing a Communist-Socialist Agenda to which our Party’s Rhinos have to know about and are supporting.

unfortunately, most people lazy! they refuse to acknowledge history. one can go to almost any public library to to do research. i encourage people to read sun tzu’s “the art of war,” to comprehend how and why china’s activities are occurring today. people read hitler’s “mein kampf.” read joseph goebbel’s book on propaganda and how the democrats are utilizing and employing his strategies today. read lenin’s and stalin’s books/manefestos on communism and marxism. read chairman mao’s little book. folks i was a jock ed. major (physical education) in college at the peak of the viet nam war. if i could read and learn the negative aspects of these philosophies, almost anyone can! it’s like religion – the more you read the more you believe and understand. our founding fathers were all practicing believers and over 80% of our bill of rights and constitution were taken directly from the Bible.nw

Unfortunately our country has gotten too corrupt and sinful to survive as a constitutional republic. The best Trump can do is hold off our demise few more years.

This article is spot on and all we can do is pray that God will punish the abusers of their power. For now our only hope is MAGA that’s why Trump was saved twice from a shooter and one from a mail in poison that the corrupt mainstream media never reported. May God bless him always, and his family. May God bless voters with wisdom to do God’s WILL & not their own flawed will.

How on earth did we get so many traitors in the Biden Administration and why are they still allowed to be there when they are against the US CONSTITUTION? They swore an oath to uphold and protect the Constitution of The United States, “our country”, but now fight against that precious document. They are collecting pay for not doing their duty. If anyone like Douglas MacArthur didn’t uphold his duty to follow orders and rules he was fired! These people were appointed, not elected, why are they still there? What does it take to get the US Government haters out of office?
They are supposed to be servants of the government not mini dictators! I want my tax money returned and fire them!

This election rests on the number of people who believe in our country’s ideals and will vote accordingly. I suspect that most of Kamala’s supporters are leftists, the number of whom is relatively small. On the other hand I know people who hate Trump, for no apparent reason, just that they believe the MSM about him. I guess we’ll find out.

I look at Garland and think 80 some years ago, he’d be the type of cop wearing an SS military cap with the “death head” insignia…
