Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein threatened to “subpoena” emails,
phone records and other documents from lawmakers and staff on a
Republican-led House committee during a tense meeting earlier this year unless the committee laid off its investigative tactics. A House committee staffer said: “Let me just add that watching the Deputy Attorney
General launch a sustained personal attack against a congressional
staffer in retaliation for vigorous oversight was astonishing and
disheartening. ... Also, having the nation’s #1 (for these matters) law
enforcement officer threaten to 'subpoena your calls and emails' was
downright chilling.”
If this isn't firm evidence that the DOJ now considers itself above the law and brands itself... and the FBI for that matter... as America's Gestapo, then what is?
By our own failures to act, have we transformed our country from being a nation of laws into being a nation of sinister, power-mongering and corrupt despots?
