You mean like the lawful warrant signed by a federal judge granting FISA warrants, that the FBI later admitted to falsifying documents in order to get said warrant? Btw, what ever happened to the agents that falsified documents, and lying to a judge in order to get that warrant? What do you think would happen to you or I or somebody in the Trump administration, or Trump himself if we/they did the same thing? Stop championing the unequal application of the law in favour of the powerful, just because you hate Trump.
I mean, Shady's retarded meme aside, it's not the fact that Chomiak was a Nazi collaborator that's the issue so much as Freeland's denial and obfuscation of that fact as well as the disturbingly prominent images of present day Ukrainian Nazis.
Do you typically research the political views of all four grandparents of the candidates you vote for? Or does it only matter if that information is provided to you by a Russian meme?
I mean, I wouldn't vote for someone whose grandfather was a Nazi.
Except the person who broke the news was a University of Alberta historian named J.P. Himka, Chrystia Freeland’s uncle by marriage and Michael Chomiak's son-in-law.
Most people feel that public health measures in the face of a pandemic are reasonable. These, of course, are people of at least average intelligence who haven't been indoctrinated by Russian memes.

Who were the grandparents of the candidate for whom you voted?
How Russia's attack on Freeland got traction in Canada --- tracing Moscow's "Nazi-grandfather" calumny through a maze of cranks, propagandists and Putin fanciers—to Canada's mainstream media'School of hate': Was Foreign Affairs Minister Chrystia Freeland's grandfather a Nazi collaborator? --- "This is a sign that Russia has now interfered in our affairs. And it's an ominous sign they've delved so deeply."
Michael Chomiak, Freeland’s maternal grandfather, indeed fled Ukraine during the war and wound up editor-in-chief of Krakivski Visti, a Ukrainian nationalist newspaper published in Krakow and Vienna, sanctioned by the Nazi-run government..But John-Paul Himka, a professor emeritus at the University of Alberta who has written extensively about Krakivski Visti, told VICE News the truth is more complicated.“It was a newspaper that had to collaborate with the Germans and had certain areas of ideological kinship,” said Himka, who is related by marriage to both Freeland (his niece) and Chomiak (his father-in-law.)The paper did publish anti-semitic material, often accusing the Russian Bolsheviks — who carried out mass killings of Ukrainians at the time — of being predominately Jewish, a common and incorrect trope of the time. Other articles, always written under pseudonyms (although the authors have since been identified) sought to dehumanize the Jewish population through conspiracy and innuendo. Some of those articles were required by the Germans, according to records of correspondence from the paper’s editors.Ultimately, he said, it is also difficult to pin any of this onto Freeland’s grandfather.“He wrote nothing for the paper. He was largely a figurehead, a liaison with the German censors and a guy to call on the carpet when a whipping boy was needed,” Himka said over email.
continuing on the prior links the waldo provided, in regards the allegations that Freeland's maternal grandfather had been editor-in-chief of a collaborationist newspaper that worked directly with the Nazis, award-winning investigative journalist Justin Ling wrote in VICE News:
