https://archive.is/2026.09.03-212247/https://www.axios.com/2026/09/03/fbi-doj-wiretap-subramanyam-lucas-virginia-trump>Rep. Suhas Subramanyam (D-Va.) said Thursday he was informed by the Department of Justice that his phone calls with a Virginia state legislator in the spring were wiretapped.>Why it matters: The Democratic congressman is casting the tap as part of a pattern of the DOJ targeting President Trump's political enemies, calling the incident "deeply concerning."> "They have politically investigated multiple states' Attorneys General and the former FBI director. Now they admit they have surveilled conversations by a sitting Democratic Congressman," Subramanyam said in a statement. > The Justice Department did not immediately respond to a request for comment.>Driving the news: Subramanyam released what he said was a notice from the DOJ and the FBI that a federal judge authorized a wiretap in early March that intercepted some of his calls between March 6 and April 5. > Subramanyam said the wiretap was part of the DOJ's corruption probe into Louise Lucas, the president pro tempore of the Virginia state Senate, who has denied wrongdoing. > Lucas' office did not immediately respond to a request for comment.>What they're saying: "The timing of this wiretap and investigation is extremely suspicious," Subramanyam alleged in his statement.> "The tap took place between March and May, which was at the peak of campaigning for the redistricting referendum in Virginia. This was also while the Oversight Committee was calling on Pam Bondi to testify on the Epstein investigation." >Subramanyam told Axios in a text message he wants to "know how they were using the information," adding, "Were they keeping tabs on me in any way because I'm on Oversight?"
>>1533911tldr democrats angry about wiretap revealing they are indeed the enemy of the people.
Setting aside whether or not the original wiretap was well-founded because in this admin it might not have been, calling someone who is being wiretapped and having your shit scooped up by the tap does not mean you were the target of the fucking wiretap.Wiretaps don't magically turn off when there's some uninvolved rando on the line. Fuck off with the faux outrage. We get enough of that bullshit from Republicans.
>>1533921>>1533920Nixon wish he had shills and damage control teams like trump does.
>>1533923I'm not doing damage control for Trump. I'm just stating the same position I had when Trump's swamp rats bitched about being wiretapped when they were talking to the fucking Russian Minister of Foreign Affairs.You want to bitch about this wiretap, defend the integrity of the woman it was placed on. Don't fucking act like you were the real target victimized by the Trump admin when they were.
>>1533928>Mum both sidesYup, average trump shill.
>>1533930>its only fine when democrats do ittldr your opinion from hence forth is dismissed because you're a demented TDS bigoted narcassist
>>1533930>ignore my hypocrisy cope I am on the right side of historyYa I really wish trump was all the things you say about him because people like you should genuinely just die. disgusting selfish karen energy
lol trump megawatergates like 6 times a dayfuck this ignorant shitlock him up already
Republicans are turning against Trump. Once the dominos start falling, it's over. Not even the packed Supreme Court can save him.
>>1533932>>1533938>Mum both sidesAmazing how conservatives so embraced russian propaganda tactics.Just shows trump did conspire with the Russians.
>>1533911This would have been a huge scandal before this country's dark age started.
>>1533942They'll never turn on him. It's the party of Trump. If someone says something he doesn't like, he makes it his personal mission for the next few weeks to have them removed entirely
>>1533943you're literally saying its fine to be a hypocrite when you do it, so kindly get roped.
>>1533930>Mum both sidesI'm not both sidesing this shit. I'm not claiming both sides suck equally or excusing one side by pointing to the behavior of the other.Trump's fuckers were talking to a Russian spymaster in the middle of a presidential campaign. This was a Dem rep talking to a top ranking Dem of their own state who is as far as anyone knows only under investigation for ownership of a fucking weed dispensary (legalize it). These are in no way comparable activities.In fact, I want this shit head bitching about woe is me to shut the fuck up so REPUBLICANS can't use this shit to both sides the issue. Or better yet, as I said previously, defend the person they were talking to as unfairly targeted. Republicans can't do that shit with fucking Russia.Fuck you for complaining about me earnestly and with nuance wanting my side to be better than Republicans. Shit-heels like you are how the Republican party sank so low in the first place, and I don't want the Dems to end up like that.
>>1533971>Upset that the GOP is playing by the rules they DNC set.
>>1533985>Wiretapping Russia's spymaster is just as bad as wiretapping a Dem president pro tempore of a state Senate.Republicans Stop Defending the Worst Human Beings Alive to Justify Horrible Shit Challenge (Impossible)
>>1533911Donald Trump's campaign was spied on His campaign chairman had his phones at Trump tower tapped by the Obama administrationhttps://www.cbsnews.com/news/paul-manafort-was-wiretapped-by-us-government/https://www.cnn.com/2017/09/18/politics/paul-manafort-government-wiretapped-fisa-russians/index.html
>>1533923Nixon wishes he had shills like the Obama administration. Our great black pope is without sin
>>1533990>Pretending Dems didn't wiretap the entire trump campaign after making false filings in FIS Court Breh. Shits all be declassified.
>>1534008>Pretending literally the only member of the Trump campaign that got spied on wasn't a coffee boy that had already left the campaign by that point and also that the person in charge of the FBI wasn't a Republican who was serving under Trump for half that spyingM8. Shit has all been declassified.
>>1533990>democrats making excuses to justify treasondemocrats trying to be rational and not hypocritical piss-babies challenge (super impossible)
>>1534052>Spying on the Russian government is treason for RepublicansThat checks out.
>>1533993>paul-manafortoh really why could that be
>>1534039Hey, you seem to be a retarded esl shill who doesn't understand anythingThe Trump campaign wasn't spied on, they were just calling people who were being spied on for crimes against America all the time and recordings work for both sides of the call. Hope that helps!
>>1533911>Suhas SubramanyamGood.
>>1534059So you are saying that Trump's campaign manager was having his phone tapped at Trump tower by the Obama administration, but he deserved it?That kind of reframes the opening news post. Do you have a problem with Rep. Suhas Subramanyam being spied on or did they deserve it too?
>>1534039>Well you see we were actually spying on people they were talking to so even though we tapped all their communications and heard/saw everything because they weren't the target we technically weren't spying on them 0/10
>>1534076Trump told me the tapping done against Rep Subramanyam is criminal and deserves execution, so Trumps admin should be executed for doing the crime
>>1534083Too bad you weren't tapping the conversation Trump told you this.
>>1534089Who the fuck cares about what Trump actually said? The only thing thats important is what he meant, which is that the government spying on citizens is wrong and deserves death.
Fake news.
>>1534076Trump wasn't the target of the tap. They were spying on all of the criminals and Russian assets that Trump and his kids were associating with.
>>1533911This isn't even the worse thing they've done this week. You know they denied disaster relief that was already approved by FEMA to New Jersey TWICE seemingly just because it was a blue state?If a Democrat did this to a red state in office you wouldn't hear the end of it. Hell we still don't hear the end of FEMA skipping a few Trump supporter houses for financial aid because of a repeated pattern of threats, yet Trump denying aid to entire states because of their voting history doesn't even hit the front page.
>>1534060No, a specific low rank member of the campaign was spied on (after they left the campaign). That's what the FISA scandal was about.Also, I'm not a Trump shill. Learn2read.
>>1534079>Well you see we were actually spying on people they were talking to so even though we tapped all their communicationsWith the person they were talking to because that was the target.God, I fucking wish they'd actually gone after the Trump campaign's comms given the illegal shit Trump regularly gets up to.
>a specific low rank member of the campaign was spied on (after they left the campaign).So no one from the Trump campaign was spied on, got it. Why are you so fucking stupid?
>1533968>ESL shill strikes again
>>1534120>Celebrate spooks exploiting the law to spy on an American political campaign >Cry when it gets done back Remember, you wanted this.
>>1534128nice wife beater logic there shill anon
>>1534128>Look, they spied on us because we were talking to Russia>So it's perfectly fine for us to spy on them talking to each other
>>1534135>>Look, they spied on us because we were talking to RussiaYeah, sure, totally. And we're spying on Democrats because they are talking about committing fraud or whatever.
>>1534110Senator George McGovern was not the target of the Watergate surveillance, just the corrupt operatives in the Democratic National Committee
>>1534139>Yeah, sure, totallyThe tap was literally on the fucking Russian line. More to the point, it wasn't only comms with Trump allies that were scooped up.Unless you're claiming Russia had a private line used exclusively to talk to Trump allies that was spied on, but that would raise several more fucking questions.
>>1534143lol, democrats are so hypocritical
>>1534058>democrats refusing to be held accountable for treason>continues muh russia muh nazi muh incel diversion
>narcassist>inb4 "grammar nazi", "context" etcSays 1533932 the demented bigot with Democrat Derangement Syndrome, being an illiterate esl shill for an orange narcissist that is a demented bigot.>narcassistLearn to read, Trump shill, or prove you aren't a fence sitter by saying you want to see Trump politically destroyed just as Nixon was.I'm not a both sides-ist fence sitter: I want to see Trump politically destroyed as much as Nixon was. Now you do the same: say 'I want to see Trump politically destroyed as much as Nixon was', to prove you're not a Trump shill.Everyone else in /news/, come to your own conclusions when the obvious Trump shill answers this post with anything other than ''I want to see Trump politically destroyed as much as Nixon was'.>the post before thislol, Trump supporters and Republicans are so hypocritical.
>>1534183of courseesl shill will always be big mad that republicans can't crime and rape kids all they want
>>1533911Axois hitting tabloid level journalism here.
Axios is superior journalism here.>b-b-but you must never expose the hypocrisy of inferior Republicans here in /news/. It hurts my GOP & Trump-loving fee-fees!1534186>NY Post always hits tabloid level journalism hereftfy
>>1534185Joe Briben is the one who fucked kids. Ukrainian kids he had his son Hunter fetch for him from Zelensky
>>15341851534199>ZelenskyNotice how esl shill 1534199 the Putin-lover uses the name of fictional people 'Briben', thus Joe and Hunter Biden are completely innocent. And speaking of the Putin-lover:https://www.military.com/video/off-duty/odd/akward-moments-with-vladimir-putin/3129473236001https://i.postimg.cc/DwTxmsCC/pedo-putin.jpgIn Soviet Russia, pedo supporter is you, 1534199.The hypocrisy of those that need to project so much they make IMAX obsolete, and have Democrat Derangement Syndrome. It knows no depths.
>>1534197To be fair, NY Post is the only official news source of /news.All other news sources should be ignored as ligggeral cultist spam.
>>1534590All the shitting on them really got to you, huh?
>>1534167Dems would have been spied on by the Obama FBI too, but they just refused to call the Russian Minister of Foreign Affairs for some reason.
>>1534597To be fair, esl shill 1534590 is seething because replying - and lying about NY Post not being a credible source and spammed as a source of lies, also lying about a word >>1529518 >>1529639 - the way it does in /news/ proves its fee-fees are hurt.
>>1534202Why do you KKK members hate "esl" speakers?I thought you were the caring party.You are literally Hitler. You evil racist.
Why is KKK member 1534683 an esl shill?1534683 will never have the ability to think.esl shills such as 1534683 worship a Russian - Putin - that is literally Hitler because the evil Vlad annexed Crimea and invaded Ukraine just as an inferior subhuman Austrian annexed Sudetenland and invaded Poland.Those who forget the past are doomed to repeat it. Just as the projecting 1534683 continually worships a subhuman Russian pedo:https://www.military.com/video/off-duty/odd/akward-moments-with-vladimir-putin/3129473236001https://i.postimg.cc/DwTxmsCC/pedo-putin.jpgThus 1534683 continues to be a pedo supporter.
