   yeah … I sent this to a few folks myself

   if the military engaged in any civilian law enforcement activity, including surveillance or intelligence collection, before or during January 6, it would represent an egregious violation of the military’s code of conduct and federal law. Under the Posse Comitatus Act, military personnel cannot be used as local cops or investigators

   ….

   Irrefutably the least trustworthy member of Congress, Schiff tucked an amendment into the massive National Defense Authorization Act that would prohibit any evidence collected in violation of the Posse Comitatus Act from being used in a number of proceedings, including criminal trials and congressional investigations.

   …..

   On Thursday afternoon, the House narrowly passed Schiff’s amendment by a vote of 215-213;
   every Republican and two Democrats voted no.
   (House Speaker Nancy Pelosi came to the floor to vote in a rare move.)
   Passage in the Senate is uncertain.

   ….

   If his amendment fails to advance, Schiff nonetheless has done Republicans a tremendous favor; he’s tipped off the GOP that there’s plenty of digging to be done at the Department of Defense, where a trove of scandals awaits political sunshine.
