Why not spend time investigating “Foundation “ fraud and Democratic conspiracy to take down Trump.

better find some honest and ace reverse algorithm engineers...no need to look any farther than that...

Narrator: you can only ignore something so obvious for so long

michellemalkin About time !!!!

michellemalkin wsj can't trust anything Barr overseas. Already shown himself to be corrupt and hyperpartisan toadie

michellemalkin thank them (DOJ) for me, will you?

michellemalkin It's being done by collusion with financial and internet infrastructure companies.

Good thing to do. Just as dangerous, if not more so, than Russia meddling.

michellemalkin LOL..' Let the rhythm hit em '

He looks like Elton Johns twin !

IFixedIt The Justice Department is opening a wide-ranging review in order to dominate technology firms to unlawfully stifle GOP competition

I bet the investigation would end in a flash if Apple agreed to de-crypt its phones and Google, Twitter and Facebook agreed to block anti-Trump searches and messages

I like that song i just died in your arms. Nothing sexual, i just like it now

Looks like another way to attack JeffBezos using government resources by members of the TrumpAdministration

dojph should be investigating if big-techs are running securities scams. It’s a lot easier to prove. This 💩 makes up $400 billion of value on the S&P 😂 Ponziassets stocks stockmarket investing SEC_Investor_Ed FINRA SEC_News SF_SEC SEC_Enforcement $GOOG

Why is the DOJ opening investigations into everything but the white supremacist groups that are popping up everywhere?

brkend 'The two agencies, which share antitrust enforcement authority....' The Justice Department itself isn't an agency. Rather, it's a Federal department of divisions, agencies, offices, etc. The Antitrust Division of the DoJ is at the div. or agency level.

See if I give a fuuuuuuuuuck

Good way to keep fair during th election?

They're probably going to drag this out to wait for the biggest payoffs possible.

Barr us corrupt. IMPEACH him.

aka, TrumpPence BaghdadBarr .GOP mob shakedown. Quid Pro Quo, Pay-To-Play

My Fellow Americans, Donald Trump is using the American Judicial Branch as his personal attorney. He's controlling 2 branches of government, and half the third under Mitch McConnell. NONE OF ANY OF THIS IS OK. THIS IS FASCISM. THIS IS A DELIBERATE TAKEOVER OF OUR GOVERNMENT.

Since they can swing 15 million votes by how they position news on social media would seem valid

No company should own my feedback/reputation and force me to stay on their plattform.

Republicans: health insurance companies should be allowed to deny liver transplants to children. It's the free market. Also republicans: Natonalize and regulate Facebook now

I like it

DOJ is protecting a criminal president. Not really any leg to stand on.

But the DOJ continues to take a pass or obstructs a review of Donald Trump.

Wrong. If a company goes bankrupt appears the popular cry for public aid, as is happening backwards and these companies are trying to succeed and expanding American technological supremacy around the world, bad people try to obstructe their organization.

W00t! usdoj discovery fun: request every bit that has ever entered or exited their servers. It'll take em a while 😁😂

Maybe they'll soon address the glaring issue born from the combination of their censorship and assertions that social-media is a 'public forum'.
