Quote:The loyalty of America’s lawmakers is supposed to be to the country, and to the truth. People can of course disagree about policies and politics, but at the end of the day, all elected officials should serve the Constitution and the people.

It looks like truth has taken a back seat to partisan games. In a stunning development to the Department of Justice wiretapping scandal, every single Democrat on the House Intelligence Committee just voted to cover up evidence of what could be the biggest story since Watergate.
At the center of the scandal is a warrant application filed by the Obama administration to the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court, commonly known as FISA. Before Trump was elected, the Obama DOJ sought permission to wiretap conversations that included American citizens.
There’s strong evidence that the entire operation was being used to gather information that could be used against Donald Trump in the election… and that a now-debunked Russian dossier was used as justification for the warrant.
Members of the House Intelligence Committee wanted to know if that was true. After fighting an uphill battle just to get access to the documents, some members of Congress did get to see the FISA warrant — but only a handful.
“But they didn’t get to keep copies,” explained Canada Free Press. “They were only allowed to view them and take notes.”
“As a result, some committee members drafted a memo summarizing the facts they learned from viewing these documents. And on Thursday, the committee voted to make these memos available to all House members,” continued that report.
You would think that letting everyone in the House see the notes about the warrant would be a good thing. After all, they are the people’s representatives, and hiding key information from Congress is the equivalent of pulling the wool over the eyes of every American citizen.
Yet every single Democrat on the committee voted to keep the notes a secret.
“Every Democrat voted against letting the rest of the House see a memo that will list the facts about the FBI’s use of FISA warrants to surveil members of the Trump campaign in 2016,” reported The Wall Street Journal. “Strange. What are Democrats afraid of?”
