Congressman Finds Out DOJ Was Playing Spy Games, But Only On Democrats
KEY POINTS
- •In August 2026, Rep. Suhas Subramanyam revealed the DOJ wiretapped his calls from March 6 to April 5.
- •The wiretap was connected to a corruption probe into Virginia Senate's Louise Lucas, who denied any wrongdoing.
- •Subramanyam said the timing coincided with Virginia’s redistricting referendum campaign and Epstein Oversight hearings.
Rep. Suhas Subramanyam (D-Va.) discovered in August 2026 that between March 6 and April 5, the DOJ—yes, the Justice Department now moonlighting as a spy agency—had his phone calls wiretapped. This wasn’t just any random snooping; it was wrapped up in their corruption probe of Louise Lucas, Virginia’s state Senate president pro tempore, who swears she did nothing wrong amid raids. Subramanyam, tossed into this drama during the peak of Virginia's redistricting referendum campaign and the epic Oversight Committee showdown over Pam Bondi's Epstein testimony, is suspicious if 'suspicious' was an Olympic sport. Meanwhile, the DOJ skipped commentary, making silence their official statement. These FBI eavesdropping notes arrived courtesy of a kindly federal judge's 2026 early March blessing–because who doesn’t love a legal wiretap birthday gift?
