We begin this morning with the extraordinary new revelations about the justice department under former president trump adding even more evidence of how he weaponized one coequal branch of government against another. Sources say prosecutors had obtained a federal grand jury subpoena for apple for the data from the accounts of democrats on the house intel committee. Why such an extraordinary measure? to find leakers behind new stories revealing the connections between trump associates and russia. This was first reported by the new york times last night but it wasn t just the intel committee members who were targeted in this probe, it was also their staff, even their family members including a minor child. Shocked on the one hand, not surprised on the other.
