U.S. Attorney Aaron Reitz has set his sights on Democrat Senator Elizabeth Warren, who he says is “on the warpath to wield her committee gavel like a tomahawk, seeking the scalps of those who associate ‘too closely’ with President Trump.”
@SenWarren is on the warpath to wield her committee gavel like a tomahawk, seeking the scalps of those who associate “too closely” with President Trump. Congressional investigations can’t be used to punish Americans for exercising their 1A rights. My first arrow shot: https://t.co/yzbppdfjry

Reitz is opening an investigation into Warren following a slew of comments that suggested that she would begin investigating business leaders with close ties to President Donald Trump.
Reitz says that Warren’s comments “send a strong smoke signal” that she is targeting her political rivals with frivolous investigations that could be a First Amendment violation. Reitz has subsequently ordered Warren’s office to preserve all communications "relevant to [her] intent to weaponize congressional investigations and deprive citizens of their core constitutional rights.”
This is the third letter that Reitz has issued to Senate Democrats in a matter of days. Similar investigations are being launched into the offices of Elissa Slotkin and Richard Blumenthal.
@SenatorSlotkin fantasized about weaponizing Congress to push her “deterrence message”: Associate w/ President Trump, and her Senate majority will come for you. She wants Americans avoiding the Admin altogether—or else get “a ton of problems.” Sounds potentially illegal to me. https://t.co/I56KfZoniF

After the election, @SenBlumenthal & his allies think they can intimidate Americans for their constitutionally protected associations w/ President Trump. Congress is not a weapon to be wielded against the American people. I'm taking the first step to stop this abuse of power. https://t.co/SxKJflB1t6

“I'm taking the first step to stop this abuse of power,” Reitz said of one of the investigations in a social media post.
Because of Reitz, the days of Democrats using their power to target political enemies without scrutiny may finally be coming to an end.
