Great News: The FBI Reports It Has Cut Back (Not Stopped) Spying On Americans Without Warrants

[pknopp]

Do they actually need a warrant to conduct online surveillance? Zuckerburg never needed one.

Zuckerburg is not the government nor restricted by the Constitution. Should this really need explained?

It does. I'm sorry that I don't understand it. I doubt that there were black SUVs outside anyone 's house with high power mics and zoom video cameras. They simply rounded up what everyone was putting out there about themselves. They stole my info off of fb without a warrant!

NSA surveillance exposed by Snowden was illegal, court rules seven years on

I have no idea why people like yourself feel a need to defend the government no matter what.

The FBI's admission to Congress that it CONTINUES TO VIOLATE THE PATRIOT ACT by illegally spying on Americans proves it has no intention of adhering to tbe US Vonstitution and Rule of Law.

This recent admission by the FBI to Congress, combined with Special Counsel Durham's Russian Collusion hoax report, has brought the United States to a point where a choice needs to be made:

The well-intended but failed, criminally abused Patriot Act must be terminated altogether OR the Federal Bureau of Investigations, as it exists today, must cease to exist, its proven partisanly weaponized, criminal leaders brought to justice.

The FBI's comtinuous disregard for the US Constitution and criminal violations of the Patriot Act are historically revorded and go back drcades.

FBI Director Mueller and his FBI officially illegally spied on Americans, and Mueller was called before the FISA Court to answer for nearly a dozen violations of the Patriot Act.

FBI Director Comey, Mueller's aprentice, continued the crimes by being proven to have defrauded the FISA Court and illegally spied on Americans as well.

When current FBI Director Wray took over the FBI the FISA Court mistakenly tasked Wray with coming up with an FBI self-policing plan to ensure the afency's defrauding of the FISA Court and criminal violations of the Patriot Act would not continue. Withing months of presenting his plan to the FISA Court FBI Director Wray and the FBI were caught AGAIN lying to the court, violating the Patriot Act AGAIN, and illegally spying on Americans AGAIN.

When it comes to credibility the FBI has proved it has none, especially when it comes to violating the Constitution and breaking laws. Comey has proven to be just another corrupt, lyi g, tominal FBI director groomed and brought up from within the criminal agency.

Recently the FBI submitted a report to Congress, with FBI Director Wray's full knowledge and blessing, admitting to Congress that the FBI is STILL violating both Constitution and Patriot Act. They made NO EFFORT TO HIDE IT.

In their report the FBI proudly declared it had REDUCED THE NUMBER OF CASES OF ILLEGALLY SPYING ON AMERICANS...vecause it was intentionally MAKING A MORE FOCUSED EFFORT ON OBEYING THE LAW / RESTRICTIONS on its spying progream.

WTF?

You know what would help them completely STOP? Immediately removing FBI Director Wray from the FBI & prosecuting several FBI Agents responsible for Violating the Constitution and Patriot Act, to potentially include FBI Director Wray and other top FBI leaders.

AGAIN, either the Parriot Act needs to be terminated to ensure Americans will ot be crimialky spied on again OR the FBI, as is, needs to cease to exist.

Here is how you immediately put a stop to the criminal, treasonous FBI:

1. Remove / FIRE FBI Director Wray and all top FBI leadership.
- Appoint a new Director from outside the FBI
- All new leaders should be researched / reviewed - past / present political associations / affiliations, social media, etc... - any connection to past FBI Crimes should disqualify

2. Appoint an official Overseer to manage / control the FBI, someone non-partisan / NOT groomed and raised up within the historically ctiminal organization.
-- NO spying operayions (FISA Warrant applications /spying ops should be submitted without review and approval by this appointed overseer & his office)

3. The FBI's Intel Division should be immediately terminated / disbanded. The FBI's job is investigation. There are more than enough seperate over-lapping US Intel agencies to work with the FBI - the FBI's own have severely failed to do its job (as pointed out in the Durham report) and, intentionally or not, has facilitated crimes committed by tbe FBI.

4. A y member of tbe FBI found to have had any knowledge of and / or has participated in hiding / the cover-up of 1) The Huntter Bidel Laptop, 2) The Hunter Biden Laptop 'Russian Disinformation' Letter, 3) Joe Biden's TS/SCI - classified information scandal prior to the 2022 midterm elections, and / or 4) the on-going cover-up of the 'Biden 12' crimimal financial money laundering scandal involving 20 shell companies / 12 banks / hundreds of Suspicioys Activity Alerts caused my hundreds of money laundering moves of millions od dollars from China, Russia, Romania, Ukraine, Burisma, etc... SHOULD BE FIRED, NEVER BE ALLOWED TO WORK IN FEDERAL SERVICE / LAW ENFORCEMENT SERVICE EVER AGAIN, AND / OR PROSECUTED.

These actions are about the ONLY thing that will stop what the FBI has been doing and ensure it never happens again.

After Durham's report FBI Director Wray declared the FBI had already began taking action to ensure these crimes never happen again - THE SAME THING HE TOLD THE FISA COURT AFTER HE WAS CALLED BEFORE THE COURT TO EXPLAIN HOW HE WOYLD MAKE SURE FBI VIOLATIONS OF THE CONSTITUTION AND PATRIOT ACT WOULD NEVER HAPPEN AGAIN ...

...right before he recently filed a Congressional report stating the FBI had DECREASED the FBI's continiing volations of the Constitution and Patriot Act.

The FBI WILL NOT stop illegally spying on Americans on its own. They have repeatedly proven this.

It's a shame how those whistleblower's were treated, especially viewing their records of service etc. Thanks, yes something needs to change and quick.

Why do we allow this American KGB to exist?

Our Founding Fathers would be very disappointed in us.

"A Republic, if you can keep it". We don't have the courage to keep it.

What does the Constitution say about internet data?

No, it's more like this - in what ways do the constitution apply to the internet ?

That's what needs to be figured out, and applied.... Oh it applies alright, otherwise if proper interpretation is applied as it should be, the Internet wouldn't have that part that it does in which is dangerous and threatening to the citizen's of this United States of America.

The Constitution doesn't specify phones either but yet, it applies. It's pretty simple. The government can't spy on the people without a warrant. Period.

'The FBI has some fantastic news for you.

The agency has reportedly cut back on conducting surveillance on Americans without warrants. This means they have supposedly been violating our rights fewer times than they were a couple of years ago.'


Now don't you feel better?

Haven't your feelings changed and your confidence in the FBI improved after this?


Yes, yes. Yes...they are STILL violating the Constitution, violating the Patriot Act, and trampling Americans' rights ... BUT THEY HAVE CUT BACK the number of times they are doing it.

'The number of warrantless searches of Americans’ telephone calls, emails and text messages conducted by the Federal Bureau of Investigation plummeted last year, dropping from millions of searches to about 120,000, according to a U.S. intelligence report.'

The drop in number is reportedly due to the fact that the FBI is now complying more often with search restrictions. They aren't in compliance ALL THE TIME, but they are complying MORE:

'This drop is attributed to improved compliance with search restrictions following internal reforms and variations in national security investigations.'

Some would argue that these do not meet the criteria to qualify as 'violating rhe Patriot Act / Constitution'; however, you are either complying with the law - and all of its restrictions - or you are NOT.

This FBI report caught the attention of Congress, and it is considering amending the law that authorizes the surveillance program before it expires at the end of the year...to ensure COMPLETE compliance.


'Supporters of the program argue that it is a valuable intelligence tool for national security, aiding in counterterrorism efforts and providing insights into the strategic ambitions of adversaries like Russia and China.'

Of course the FBI and others argue that the program - which they have illegally abused apparantly thousands of times - is important ... but is it more important than the Constitution and protecting Americans' Constitutional rights?

After it was made public during the failed "coup' against then President Trump that the FBI had illegally spied on Americans (defrauding tbe FISA Court and violating the Patriot Act) ... after it was publicly revealed the FBI had done so under FBI Directors Mueller, Comey, and even Wray...Congress voted to keep the Patriot Act in place with no changes being made ... even when they knew tbe FBI had repeatedly violated it and would continue to do so.



'However, privacy advocates argue that the program lacks transparency and raises concerns about warrantless access to Americans’ data.'

The FBI has already proven them to be right.

How much of its freedom are Americans willing to give up To be 'safe' (from the 'bad guys')?
-

Emough of that....great news - time to celebrate!: The FBI has been willing to comply more with restrictions resulting in less spying without warrants!

WooHooooo!

The FBI Wants You to Celebrate Because It Has Spied on Fewer Americans Without Warrants

You are more dumb than a box of rocks. Anything public can be scanned without warrant. Thats not illegal. Idiot.

My point is that they don't have to spy, as many people are more than willing to post every detail of their lives on certain platforms.

 

[Zincwarrior]

Obviously it can. Not legally but it seems it doesn't care.

Yes legally. Anything thats in public view may be observed. Any public record may be searched.

 

[pknopp]

In public view is not spying.
