House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) is urging former Attorneys General William Barr and Jeff Sessions to testify before Congress on reports that former President Donald Trump’s Justice Department seized records from at least two Democrats on the House Intelligence Committee.
“What the administration did, the Justice Department, under the leadership of the former president goes even beyond Richard Nixon,” Pelosi said during an appearance on CNN’s “State of the Union” Sunday.
She added, “Richard Nixon had an enemies list. This is about undermining the rule of law and for this attorneys general … to say that they didn’t know anything about it is beyond belief. We will have to have them come under oath to testify about that.”
CNN’s Dana Bash also pointed out Rod Rosenstein, who served as deputy attorney general in the Trump administration, said he did not know anything about the subpoenas.
When asked if she would subpoena them if she did not see them voluntarily testify on Capitol Hill, Pelosi responded, “Well let’s hope they will want to honor the rule of law.”
The New York Times first reported the Justice Department was investigating “who was behind leaks of classified information early in the Trump administration” and “subpoenaed Apple for data from the accounts of at least two Democrats on the House Intelligence Committee, aides and family members. One was a minor.”
The outlet noted the records were seized between 2017 and 2018.

Be careful what you ask for, Nan, you might get more than you bargained for.....................................
If they are going to testify on seizures, how about starting with this (it actually matters):
They never ask the questions they don’t know the answers to which they will get.
Had to work Nixon in, didn’t she. So predictable. I would love to play a game of poker with her.
Right on. Get those two traitors up there. Who gives a hairy rat’s patoot what happens to these two filth? They are some of the worst political actors in our entire history. Thy had a chance to do something decent and threw it all away. There’s not enough contempt in the entire would to heap on these two.
Not quite the same thing as a predawn panty raid by the FIBBers where you crate up and haul off physical assets.
No list is required any longer. There are so many enemies that we have a very short friends list. Note: most Republicans are not on the friends list.
Sure. Right after Comey and McCabe testify about spying on Trump, his family, friends, staff, etc.
‘
How about the Lincoln Project?
Nah. Barr and Sessions will tell Pelosi whatever she wants to hear.
People screw up.....................
But when Obama wiretapped members of Congress phones and emails, that was ok.
