You sure about that? There are at least eight Trump administration individuals convicted of crimes because of those "fishing expeditions", with many more under indictment. And there are others that are still in contempt of congressional subpoenas.

And I think it's been made really clear that you don't get permits for "fishing expeditions" easily. It needs approval on many levels, including judges and magistrates installed by both parties.
Funny thing, these "fishing expeditions" have been deployed against Democratic officials but come out with way less indictments and convictions. How many hours of testimony did Clinton sit down for over Bengazhi? 11? Did that result in anything? Why not?
Oh yeah, and she showed up when subpoenaed.
The party of "law and order" needs to put up or shut up.
(PS: If this search of Mar-A-Lago was an abuse of power, Trump is more than free to release a copy of the warrant which shows exactly what the FBI was searching for. Let's see if that happens.)

- klyrs 4y agoThe irony here is that the FBI has been going after activists on the left for decades, and only goes after those on the right in the most egregiously extreme cases. So here, we've got trump flagrantly breaking the law and bragging about it on tv for years and when the FBI finally gets off its ass that's "persecution." Dude operates like a mob boss, or a New York Democrat. Eventually, they're gonna come after you.
