    DOJ inspector general to review Trump Justice Department's seizure of Democrats' phone data.
    USA Today (Moderate Left) • Factual Grade 83% • 4 min read

    The New York Times, which first reported on the seizure Thursday night, said the Justice Department subpoenaed Apple for phone data of Democratic lawmakers and their aides and family members, one of whom is a minor, to find out sources of media reports about contacts between Trump associates and Russia. A Justice Department spokesman declined to comment.
    ...
    The announcement came after Democratic Reps. Adam Schiff and Eric Swalwell confirmed that Trump-era DOJ officials secretly seized their Apple phone data as well as that of 10 or so other House Intelligence Committee members and their relatives.
    ...
    Senate Democratic leaders demanded on Friday that then-President Donald Trump’s two attorneys general, William Barr and Jeff Sessions, testify about the seizure of phone records. Faced with criticism from journalists and media advocates, the Biden administration announced it will no longer secretly obtain reporters' records during leak investigations.

HIGHLIGHTED COMMENTS

No - Only 4% more to ensure that the people making and serving my food are paid fairly? I'm on board. I can pay an additional 40 cents on a ten dollar burrito, I'm not rich but this won't break the bank. I've also noticed that places that treat their employees well (I'm also thinking of In N Out, Starbucks, and Chick Fil A) are the places that also have the best food and customer service.


Yes - I understand that business is a balancing act, and you need to think strategically, but the companies profits have far outstripped...
