My mom told me stories of Soviet Union, I'm seeing many similarities. I'm terrified for my country, my democracy.

Yes. This is how it happens. And it happens fast. People rationalize too long. Then it's too late.

You're a United States Senator: Step up and use all the power you have to oppose POTUS and end the crisis. We need leaders. Lead.

Exactly. I'm tired of hearing Democrats saying how scary and unprecedented this is. Fucking do something. Our country is on the brink.

What do you expect them to do? The American people elected a republican POTUS and a republican Congress. Democrat hands are tied.

No reason to give up. Keep writing and calling your senators and the DOJ. If you can't email someone because out of district: Facebook.

That's the point. Right now voters have far more power to pressure republicans than democrat politicians.

DearGOD-don't give up! Channel that anger and let's make some changes. Go to town hall meetings, write, call, fax and above all, VOTE!

Please sir. You are a US Senator. Please appeal to the others in congress. This is obstruction of justice. We need Spec Prosecutor.

The AG appoints special prosecutors. How do you think that'll turn out?

AG Sessions has recused himself.

Recused himself... Nope.

Personally, I think the previous administration spying on reporters was a bigger deal

The *FBI* obtained *phone record access* from *a judge* for a reporter who *received and published classified information*. Fixed it for ya.

People like @ClarkeMoore don't let truth or facts get in the way of their political narrative #BringFactsBack

So you are denying that the previous administration surveilled reporters and came up with nothing?

Yes.

And, again, you use "previous administration" when talking about FBI investigations.

What branch of government does the DOJ reside in? Hint: not the judicial

You're purposefully slanting the story and obscuring the facts. There. Was. No. Surveillance. He published the goddamned info.
