(READ) Watchdog sues for records on DOJ’s spying on Congress


The watchdog group Empower Oversight has taken legal action against the US Department of Justice (DOJ) to compel the release of records related to the department’s controversial surveillance of congressional staff and their attorneys. This lawsuit raises critical concerns about the DOJ’s adherence to constitutional principles and the separation of powers.

The following information is from Empower Oversight.


Empower Oversight’s lawsuit focuses on the DOJ’s alleged surveillance of congressional staff members from both political parties starting in 2016. The department reportedly used grand jury subpoenas under gag orders to obtain communications records, preventing service providers like Google from notifying their customers. Despite multiple FOIA requests filed between October 2023 and June 2024, the DOJ has failed to release any records.

The subpoenas appear to be connected to a probe into the leak of confidential information regarding the Carter Page FISA warrant, which led to the prosecution of former Senate Intelligence Committee Security Director James Wolfe. Despite the conviction, the DOJ continued renewing secret gag orders, blocking the disclosure of these surveillance activities.

Empower Oversight argues that the public has a right to access these court filings, asserting that the DOJ’s actions threaten the constitutional separation of powers and whistleblower protections.

  1. I hope they have their eyes on Nancy Pelosi and her crooked followers. Chuck Schumer could probably be watched as well. But we all know they could openly commit almost anything and there would never be a word said.

  2. How can we hold DOJ accountable for these acts since they are involved in launching investigations and grand juries? Why isn’t Jack Smith or others involved in a legitimate investigation of this?

    The USA War Machine and the USA Spy Machine are tied up with ribbons supplied by the Deep State. The Deep State contains a Child Abuse Network that supersedes everything. Pedophiles who control the puppets who control the money would rather put innocent people in prison, or go to war unnecessarily, than be exposed. Perpetual war and constant surveillance will continue until the real bad actors are neutralized.

    “ In a January 31, 1864 letter to Major R.M. Sawyer, Sherman explained the reason why he hated the South in general, and South Carolina in particular, so much. The war, he said ‘was the result of a false political doctrine that any and every people have a right to self-government.’ In the same letter Sherman referred to states’ rights, freedom of conscience, and freedom of the press as ‘trash’ that had ‘deluded the Southern people into war.’ “ —Google it !
