It's not overreach if the political organization is behaving like a criminal organization. Much of the rioting and property damage at the inauguration was clearly planned, so the DOJ is just doing its job here.
- JumpCrisscross 9y agoAn across-the-aisle analog would be a Democrat President demanding detailed visitation logs to Breitbart in response to the Charlottesville riots. You can prosecute violent crime without lazily trampling over the First and Fourth Amendments.
- gozur88 9y agoExcept that there's no indication Breitbart had any involvement in Charlottesville (and anyway the rioting was mostly Antifa). Here we have tweets from people plugging their organizations and promising disorder.
- mulmen 9y agoWhile individuals may have used the platform to plan illegal acts that does not mean everyone on the platform should have their information revealed. This type of dragnet investigation is illegal for a reason. The DOJs job is to collect evidence on criminals without trampling on the bill of rights. Asking for this information is lazy at best and malicious at worst.
