I’m gonna write a comment that is sure to disappoint. I’m not even going to have any information or valid point. But I’m going to write it anyway and do so in a make a statement, ask a question format.

Let’s not forget, this the second warrant the FBI has garnered against Trump. The first, although not as dramatic as gun boats in the harbor and lights flashing out front, was a FISA warrant allowing “Spygate” to happen. In investigating that warrant there was a very solid paper trail of emails showing that NONE of the affidavits supporting the warrant were true and the personnel who executed those affidavits knew the basis for seeking the FISA warrant was falsely based on information contained in a dossier paid for and written by the Democrat party. Why then, are those FBI and DOJ employees above the law? Is the law suddenly above the law? Well, obviously no. There are bad cops in jail across America. But it’s becoming increasingly clear that if you are a Donald Trump hater in Washington, DC it appears you are above the law. What are you working so hard to keep hidden?

Excellent comment! That is the question for Merrick Garland, Chris Wray: Is the law above the law?

Honestly, you need the ear of a legit journalist to ask that question.

Great comment--it's the essential perspective. We're in a frog in the pot stage in the process of losing our civil liberties. The water is heating up gradually and we're in danger of not noticing we're about to be boiled alive. Your reminder of the first time the Deep State and the Democrat Party went after Trump is vital reminder of a 2016--when the water was lukewarm. Now it's getting painful to the touch. We need to jump out of the pot now or we're done like dinner, as the Australians say.

There are still too many out there who don't even think the water is getting warm.

Yup, and raising alarm bells is poo-pooed as "not helpful".

In all fairness the applications cited news articles to justify wiretapping domestic opponents, rock solid material my friend.

I would like Mr. French to explain how the FBI planting news stories and then using them to wiretap enemies is something people should be cool headed about.
