Opinion| Mark Sidney| Thank the Lord for the great patriot Tom Fitton and his Judicial watchdog outfit, ‘Judicial Watch.’
Mr. Fitton is not an attorney, but his organization has done more to hold the Democrats and the kleptocrats in Washington accountable than all the alphabet agencies combined.
Had it not been for Judicial Watch shedding light on the abuses of our intelligence apparatuses, I highly doubt anyone would even be talking about holding the DS coup participants accountable for their actions.
Just moments ago Judicial Watch made a huge announcement:
“Judicial Watch announced it filed a lawsuit against Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA) and the House Intel Committee for the controversial subpoenas issued for phone records, including those of Rudy Giuliani, President @realDonaldTrump’s lawyer.”

Judicial Watch announced it today filed a lawsuit against Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA) and the House Intelligence Committee for the controversial subpoenas issued for phone records, including those of Rudy Giuliani, President Trump’s lawyer. The phone records led to the publication of the private phone records of Giuliani, Congressman Devon Nunes, journalist John Solomon, Trump attorney Jay Sekulow, attorney Victoria Toensing, and other American citizens.
Judicial Watch filed the lawsuit under the public’s common-law right of public access to examine government records after it received no response to a December 6, 2019, records request (Judicial Watch v Adam Schiff and U.S. House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence (No. 1:19-cv-03790)):
- All subpoenas issued by the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence on or about September 30, 2019 to any telecommunications provider including, but not limited to AT&T, Inc., for records of telephone calls of any individuals;
- All responses received to the above-referenced subpoenas.
Schiff is a member of the U.S. House of Representatives, currently serving as Chairman of the United States House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence. Schiff is being sued in his capacity as Chairman of that committee. The new lawsuit states:
The records are of critical public importance as the subpoenas were issued without any lawful basis and violated the rights of numerous private citizens.
Disclosure of the requested records would serve the public interest by providing information about the unlawful issuance of the subpoenas.
The requested records fall within the scope of the public’s right of access to governmental records as a matter of federal common law.
“Adam Schiff abused his power to secretly subpoena and then publish the private phone records, in potential violation of law, of innocent Americans. What else is Mr. Schiff hiding?” asked Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton. “Schiff and his Committee ran roughshod over the rule of law in pursuit of the abusive impeachment of President Trump. This lawsuit serves as a reminder that Congressman Schiff and Congress are not above the law.”
Is Adam Schiff finally going to be held accountable for his crimes against the Republic and the US Constitution?
It is too early to say, but if I had to pick one person to lead the charge against these corrupt actors, it would be Tom Fitton.
