The FBI should be terminated. It has proved that it can't be trusted. The coup it tried to stage against Trump was bad enough.
Bombshell Declassified Report Shows FBI Was Spying On American's Communications To Find Right-Wing, 'Racially Motivated Extremists'
The Federal Bureau of Investigation knowingly violated the Constitution to track down potential ‘racially motivated violent extremists.’ But the FBI didn’t conduct its unconstitutional dragnet following the January 6th Capitol riots, it actually started its probe in November — in the midst of a contested election.
A newly declassified report shows that the FBI pursued extremists in November that would fit the profile of future Capitol rioters by tapping into a National Security Agency database that trawls and records Americans’ communications.
“The FBI’s requests for access to masses of electronic communications harvested by the National Security Agency (NSA) is revealed in a newly declassified report from the United States’ secret surveillance court,” the Daily Mail reported on Monday.
“It shows the FBI has continued to perform warrantless searches through the NSA’s most sensitive databases for routine criminal investigations, despite being told by a federal judge in 2018 and 2019 that such a use was an unconstitutional breach of privacy,” the report continued.
The declassified FISA report makes the legal procedures for targeting an actor for surveillance clear.
RW Extremists use the Internet, Social Media, and wireless telecommunications in the pursuit of their criminal conspiracies. It's only right and fitting that the FBI would monitor these communication platforms to track these extremists before a crime is committed or use these platforms to apprehend and prosecute these extremists after a crime is prevented.
Who could possibly be against this other than criminals who want as much anonymity as possible and who hope that privacy laws will somehow be able to shield them from view as they plot their crimes.
It's against the law, you ******* NAZI moron.
Do any of you Democrat Reich minions give a shit about the Constitution or the Bill of Rights? Have you ever read the 4th Amendment? Tell me how those actions comply with the BOR.
First of all, I've come to completely distrust ALL claims/stories posted by conservatives which link to dubious websites and blogs. I've learned this over a period of not just years, but decades of phony stories, doctored documents, and wild exaggerations.
The misinformation and disinformation has only gotten exponentially worse in the last few years because of the liar-in-chief who occupied the WH for four years and made a mockery of our Constitutional norms.
If that wasn't bad enough, QAnon nutjubs by the hundreds of thousands rose up seemingly out of nowhere and made it seem like their collective psychosis was not just a pathology, but a contagion, as well.
Finally, if a lawyer for these RW extremists can show that the Constitutional rights of the defendants were violated, the evidence can be thrown out of court.
Regardless, I don't expect FBI agents to sit on their hands and do nothing while RW extremists plot against my country that I served when I joined the US Army and took an oath that I would support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic.
You see, these RW extremist assholes ARE domestic enemies of the US, and it's an insult to my intelligence when they make the argument that they expect Constitutional protections while they're actually trying to subvert the US Constitution. They can throw themselves on the mercy of the court if they want, but they'll get no mercy from me if I'm on the jury.
