I've never been a history buff. Was Joseph McCarthy an obsessed "hater", like Pelosi, Cummings, Schiff, Nadler, Waters?

But in America, you're supposed to have evidence of a crime, before investigating specific individuals.
Actually, you need 'probable cause' or 'reason to believe'.
True.
But it appears in this case that "probable cause" is "we don't like the way the election turned out".
I think when someone who plead to perjury to congress testifies to congress that crimes have been committed, that qualifies as probable cause to investigate and determine if the accusations are credible.

In a wide-ranging, exclusive interview with The Post, President Trump said Wednesday that if House Democrats launched probes into his administration — which he called “presidential harassment” — they’d pay a heavy price.
“If they go down the presidential harassment track, if they want go and harass the president and the administration, I think that would be the best thing that would happen to me. I’m a counter-puncher and I will hit them so hard they’d never been hit like that,” he said during a 36-minute Oval Office sitdown.
But Trump told The Post he wanted to save the documents until they were needed.
Trump added that his lawyer Emmet Flood thought it would be better politically to wait.
“He didn’t want me to do it yet, because I can save it,” Trump said.

Freshman Democratic Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib joined with protesters today to say she'd introduce a resolution this month urging the Judiciary Committee to move forward with impeachment proceedings against President Trump.
Tlaib, D-Mich., joined protesters on Capitol Hill to described what she called an “emergency” conveyed to her by her constituents.
"We want to be able to work on these economic justice issues, racial justice issues and everything.
But guess what? There is a wall there, and a constitutional crisis that is not going to be able to have us be able to do our jobs as American Congress members to push a lot of these agendas forward."

In America, authorities can NOT investigate you, hoping to find a prosecutable crime in your past, simply because they don't like you. Yet this is what Democrats in Congress are launching against the President of the United States, Donald J. Trump, and his family.
In fact, the insanity begins TODAY, courtesy of Trump-hating House Judiciary Committee Chairman, JERRY NADLER (D-NY).
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The House Judiciary Committee will seek documents from more than 60 people and organizations as it begins investigations into possible obstruction of justice and abuse of power by President Donald Trump, the panel’s chairman said on Sunday.
Committee Chairman Jerrold Nadler told ABC’s “This Week” the panel wanted documents from the Department of Justice, the president’s son Donald Trump Jr. and Trump Organization chief financial officer Allen Weisselberg, among others.
“We are going to initiate investigations into abuses of power, into corruption ... and into obstruction of justice,” Nadler said. “It’s our job to protect the rule of law.”
“It’s very clear that the president obstructed justice!”, Nadler said.
Several U.S. congressional committees are pursuing investigations focusing on Trump.
The House Intelligence Committee’s Democratic chairman, Adam Schiff, said his panel would look at negotiations to build a Trump Tower in Moscow, which Cohen said continued well into the 2016 presidential campaign.
“That was a deal that stood to make him more money than any other deal in his life and it was a deal where he was pursuing help from the Kremlin, from (Russian President Vladimir) Putin himself, at a time when Putin was seeking relief from sanctions,” Schiff told CBS’ “Face the Nation.”
“That is the most compromising circumstance that I can imagine.”

Maybe in CUBA or HAITI, the authorities can get away with targeting an individual to find a crime in his/her past. But in America, you're supposed to have evidence of a crime, before investigating specific individuals.
What authority in this this country can stop rabid Congressmen from violating U.S. law(s) in this manner? Going after someone because you don't like them is a "hate crime". For Congress to commit this crime against the President of the United States.... "Traitor" and "Treason" immediately come to mind.
