and federal prosecutors who violate law,
The report notes that Smith privately told Garland that members of Congress “likely have a valid Speech or Debate privilege immunizing them from compelled testimony.” However, Garland gave his “blessing” for Smith to pursue the records.
“At best, these prosecutors ignored key legislative protections enshrined in the Constitution to guarantee that Members of Congress may freely deliberate on the questions of public policy,” the report states. “At worst—which seems likely in context with the other abuses of Special Counsel Smith’s office—these prosecutors weaponized their law-enforcement authority to violate a key constitutional provision to gather reams of information about their Administration’s political adversaries.”
The report continues: “The evidence available to the Committee shows that Special Counsel Smith’s team barely considered the constitutional protections surrounding this material—and to the extent that it did, it concluded that its subpoenas might be unconstitutional. Yet, Special Counsel Smith’s team forged ahead and issued the subpoenas.”
If Garland knew all this and approved it, he needs to face charges also. I'm really sick of bureaucrats and 'special agents' breaking the law, being caught- hell, ADMITTING it- and getting away with it.
