Ex-aides say congressman and wife made them his servants

24. Let's hope Tom Garrett's treatment of his staff will get adequate public awareness.

To allow the local media working for right-wing owned news outlets to control the information on this would be a crime.

GOP Lawmaker Wants FBI To Drop Russia Probe Because ‘It’s Like Investigating Obama’s Birth Certificate’by Lance Perriman Feb 5, 2018

Appearing on CNN Monday, Republican congressman Tom Garrett Jr. (VA) compared the investigation into Russia’s interference in the 2016 U.S. elections to President Donald Trump’s racist “birtherism” campaign to convince Americans that President Barack Obama is not a U.S. citizen.

“This Russia investigation is essentially birtherism,” Garrett told CNN’s Brianna Keilar. “Imagine if there was a politically funded investigation of President Obama’s place of birth where the levers of power were leveraged.”

“Do you think Russia didn’t meddle?” Keilar asked. “Is that why you mean it’s birtherism?”

“The question is what the American government does to its own people against the Fourth Amendment right to privacy,” Garrett replied.
