If they can follow the money on huge social media and prove it's not simply speech but deliberate political interference for corporate or political gain, then I think it does need limits.

@OversightDems
And let’s not forget Devin Nunes relentless promoting of Parker

*Also, Rep Nunes agressively promoted Parler - I believe a link exists between Parler and Nunes

of these investigations. We also can't forget that Lindsey Graham, Mitch McConnell, and of course all those who went to Russia on the fourth of July should also be investigated.

The truth must come out, no matter how bad it makes these crooks look!

I know its a bit out of date but I would love it if someone looked into the origins of the Tea Party. I have a feeling Putin was probably involved there too.

It had all the elements that defined a swath of Repubs without the across-the-aisle niceness.
Guns, God, Patriots.
Tea Party was the 3rd Party exclusive aim at dividing the hard Right from the average joes.

They were the extremist Right of center Right.

And guided & funded by the Kochs, as a spin off of their racist John Birch Society of the 60's.
