Over at The Washington Examiner, Jim Antle has a sharp column up about the disturbing "Situational libertarianism" and "Selective surveillance outrage" that grips Congress every so often like Pazuzu took over Regan MacNeil in The Exorcist.
Others who argue such concerns are tantamount to calling the police racist have no problem believing law enforcement would abuse its power when the alleged victim is President Trump or someone in his orbit.
The partisan hackery of most members of Congress helps to explain why just one-third of Americans have confidence in the FBI and CIA-and why even fewer of us have any faith in Congress.
Nunes once said that Amash was "Al Qaeda's best friend in Congress" because he insisted on securing warrants before spying on suspected terrorists.
Rep. Thomas Massie tweeted, "My question: who made the decision to withhold evidence of FISA abuse until after Congress voted to renew FISA program?".
Paul added that the victims of surveillance abuse were less likely to be powerful people in a presidential campaign but "Minorities of opinion" and "Minorities of color."
Sadly, folks such as Paul, Massie, and Amash are basically a minority of three.
