For John, BLUF: The deeper question is if there is some deep government that works to control our elected officials. Nothing to see here; just move along.
Here is the sub-headline:
From Judicial Watch, 1 September 2020. A Press Release.
Here is the lede plus one:
Judicial Watch announced today that it received 372 pages of records from the U.S. Department of State that confirm prior Judicial Watch reporting that the Ukraine Embassy under then-Ambassador Marie Yovanovitch monitored, in potential violation of law, Donald Trump, Jr. Rudy Giuliani, and major journalists on Twitter on their commentary on Ukraine, “Biden-Burisma 2020”, and George Soros.This kind of thing can't help but cause some of us to be cynical about the operation of Government. If we can't count on them to follow the rules, why should we trust them to make the rule?The documents list the targeted persons as Sean Hannity, Laura Ingraham, Rudy Giuliani, Dan Bongino, Sebastian Gorka, John Solomon, Jack Posobiec, Ryan Saavedra, Sara A Carter, Donald Trump Jr., Michael McFaul, Lou Dobbs and Pamela Gellar. The search terms that were flagged to be monitored by State Department officials on social media included Yovanovitch, Ukraine Ambassador, Ukrainian Ambassador, Ukraine Soros, Clinton campaign, and Biden-Burisma.
The deeper issue is whether we can trust our legislators when they seem to ignore these violations of our civil rights.
Hat tip to the InstaPundit.
