"the president used the Justice Department, his handpicked attorney general, to basically go after personal information on members of Congress, a separate and equal branch of government."

"If there’s not a pushback on this and a respect for the law and a limitation the power of the president to breach constitutional rights... it could be Republicans next time."

"A.G. Barr basically had the view that the president was the law."

"This would be first of its kind, absent action like the SACKLER Act."
