Can’t wait to see what they now have to say about “Speech or Debate,” after yesterday their crooked MAGA DOJ tried to indict their colleagues for indisputably accurate First Amendment speech. Hypocrisy Watch is on. 👁️ 👁️
In their faux outrage, they conspicuously omitted Trump One DOJ doing same: getting toll records with nondisclosure orders of Democratic members of Congress. Outrage about that? Not even mentioned; not the MAGA “narrative.”

Rep. Raskin: “Epstein’s lawyers quoted Trump as saying Jeffrey Epstein was not a member of Mar-a-Lago, but he was a guest at Mar-a-Lago, but had never been asked to leave. That was redacted for some indeterminate, inscrutable reason.”
