So what do we call it when the previous President spies on the campaign of the incoming President.

If I understand the law correctly, that's perfectly legal.
Still smells like a scandal to me though.

Where is the line... the spying, etc was done with the intent unseating a duly elected President.
Where does political chess cross the line into treason / insurrection?

GWpundit is the equivalent of cnn. Now I wouldn't doubt our great WOKE dictatorship would do this but GWP is junk.
They post crap after crap click bait with no sources or proof of what they are claiming.
This is another example of that.

Democrats Are Drafting Legislation to Criminalize Trump Rallies — Classify Them as “Domestic Terrorism”[/url]
This is insane, these people need to be stopped.
@paulsperry
DEVELOPING: Democrats in both the House and Senate are planning to draft legislation to classify MAGA rallies as "domestic terrorist activity" and require the FBI, DOJ & DHS to take steps to prevent such "domestic terrorism." Sen. Durbin is leading effort along with Rep Schneider

The Constitution protects PEACEFUL assembly. The report says that Durbin is trying to codify into law that some assemblies can be designated act of domestic terrorist. The courts will have to weight the evidence and decide if the action falls within the Constitution and one could argue that there is evidence.

IF true it will be shut down as unconstitutional.
I think you trust SCOTUS waaaay too much
Nope, can you imagine the backlash if they refused to stop something like this? It would make last week look like a play date with three year olds.
If you think the law enforcement agencies won’t be ready for an insurrection sequel you aren’t paying attention. The radical elements of the right played straight into the government hands.

If you can't, or rather won't, see the issue, there's no explaining it to you. Your partisan blinders are on way too tight...and it's cutting off the flow of blood to somewhere important.
