FBI CAUGHT ABUSING THEIR POWER AGAIN
The FBI just got caught abusing its power… again.
Newly unsealed court documents reveal that the FBI misused a warrantless surveillance tool to spy on American citizens over 250,000 times in just a two-year period. Those surveilled included January 6 protestors, donors to a congressional candidate, BLM rioters, and others.
Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Security Act (FISA) gives intelligence agencies the ability to spy on foreigners, but it can also be used to spy on Americans without a warrant if they claim it in order to find foreign intelligence information. [Big eye roll]
A court found that the FBI conducted 278,000 improper searches of Americans in 2020 and 2021 alone, including:
J6ers were improperly spied on 23,132 times.
BLM rioters were improperly spied on 133 times.
Congressional donors to an unidentified candidate were improperly spied on 19,000 times.
…notice the FBI was 157x more likely to abuse this power on J6ers than BLM?
This is a new revelation of FBI abuse:
The Durham Report found the FBI never had evidence of Russia collusion.
Whistleblowers testified that the FBI targeted members of the bureau and their families if they did not blindly go along with its abuses.
Whistleblowers testified that undercover federal agents were part of the J6 capitol riot.
The FBI used a FISA warrant to spy on the 2016 Trump campaign when they claimed his advisor, Carter Page was communicating with the Russians – which has been disproven, just like the rest of the Russia hoax.
What happens next? Section 702 is set to expire at the end of the year unless it’s reauthorized. Hopefully, there are enough strong-willed members of Congress that will either reform 702 or burn it down.
