    This is an impeachment investigation, no crime is required, but there is one into Lev and Rudy
    Why aren’t you curious?

    Of course, that is a matter of opinion.

    One person's "political suicide" might be another person's "so what?".

    Criminals should be jailed — I can understand my opposition typically but what these people are doing is not simple opposition. It is flouting basic rule of law.

    Government and police can spy on others if they have probable cause — there is probable cause here.

    You are bleeding support. You literally have the likes of Jimmy Dore and Tim Pool advocating for Trump and on C-SPAN intermission yesterday, there were Democratic callers (not all of course) lambasting the democrats and who they have become.

    Trump might have quite literally and single handed, ended the democratic party.

    "Take them to court like trump insists for everything."

    WUT??!?

    That's some pretty strong alternate universe stuff right there.

    In your world then it would be perfectly OK for Mitch Lindsay Graham to subpoena Adam Schiff's (and all of the other Democratic members of the House intelligence committee) phone records ?? Someone was leaking from the closed door hearings. That is illegal. Why aren't you curious about that ??

    Trying to equate legal subpoenas with illegal spying? Wish I could say I was surprised.

    So what?

    Jimmy Dore is a stand-up comedian and Tim Pool is a RW Shill.

    Their opinions mean nothing, and I would expect them to shill for Trump so Breitbart can promote their "content".

    The same way a court gets private records: subpoenas.

    Witch Hunt... wasn’t that what Republican Congressman Duncan Hunter was streaming up until he plead guilty? Every time y’all say witch hunt another Republican goes to jail.

    A congressional subponea is neither a Federal nor state state statute. Congress is not an investigative branch of the judiciary.

    Let's presume their arguments are true, why even HAVE a DOJ. Congress can do everything by itself, so there's no need for an FBI, CIA, DOJ, etc.

    The Nixon Impeachment happened 45 years ago, yet CNN, MSNBC and the NYT always bring it up.

    Yup, more Deep State crap that if kept up, will end in civil war, I'm sorry to say. This is stuff China does.

    Trump should have staff searching for aggressive reform prosecutors active at the state and local level.
    I doubt that the current crop of feds can clean up this mess. They are too close to most of the felons.

    “That all of these officials committed major crimes can hardly be disputed. In January, CNN reported that Flynn’s calls with the Russians “were captured by routine U.S. eavesdropping targeting the Russian diplomats.” That means that the contents of those calls were “obtained by the processes of communication intelligence from the communications of [a] foreign government,” which in turn means that anyone who discloses them — or reports them to the public — is guilty of a felony under the statute.”
    THE INTERCEPT, The Leakers Who Exposed Gen. Flynn’s Lie Committed Serious — and Wholly Justified — Felonies, By, Glenn Greenwald, February 14 2017.

    Read the book. You can send hundreds of Republicans to jail.

    LOL, Tim Pool was a life long democrat that worked for Vice. He's a social liberal that supported Bernie Sanders in 2016. But because he's now turning against the establishment, he's a RW shill... You guys are special.

    When it comes to impeaching a sitting President, yeah, that is kind of how it works

    Elections can deal with all of this, but more aggressive reform candidates will have to come forward.
    Trump has shown blazed the trail to real reform.
