Staff Reports
Last week, the FBI found itself caught in a web of lies and deceit, as their Director Christopher Wray shamelessly testified before Congress about the agency’s supposed compliance with the rules and regulations for obtaining FISA spy warrants. But hold your horses, folks, because the truth is that the FBI has been playing fast and loose with the law, doctoring evidence left and right to secure FISA warrants against innocent American citizens, including former Trump campaign officials like Carter Page. Talk about an abuse of power!
The agency thought they could get away with their smooth talk when they tweeted a clip of Wray boasting about how the FBI complies with Section 702. But guess what? The Twitterverse wasn’t having any of it. A community note on Twitter called out the FBI, linking to a story from The Hill that exposed how the agency had trampled all over the Fourth Amendment rights of over 250,000 American citizens with their illegal FISA spy warrants. Yikes! The FBI might want to think twice before trying to pull the wool over the public’s eyes next time.
The FBI is now Biden's Gestapo.
Period.
This FBI Tweet Just Got Nuked by Community Notes https://t.co/RCuCFG6qnr— FlghtingOverMountains (@FightOverMtns) April 1, 2024
And if that wasn’t enough, a court order released by the U.S. Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court revealed that the FBI had repeatedly abused their surveillance powers in cases related to the Jan. 6, 2021, insurrection and 2020 racial justice protests. Thousands of violations were exposed, showing just how far the agency had gone in misusing their authority under Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act. It’s like they thought they were above the law or something!
But wait, there’s more. The FBI has the audacity to ask for reauthorization of their warrantless surveillance program from Congress, even after getting caught red-handed in their misconduct. It’s like they’re saying, “Hey, we know we messed up, but can we keep spying on Americans without any pesky warrants, pretty please?” And to top it all off, they’re going after people who dare to exercise their free speech rights, targeting individuals who dare to speak out against the Biden administration. It’s like they’re trying to compile some sort of enemies list – shades of a Nixonian nightmare, anyone?
So, let’s not kid ourselves here. The FBI has been up to no good, abusing their power and trampling on the rights of American citizens. It’s high time for some serious oversight and accountability to rein in these rogue agents and ensure that the agency upholds the rule of law, not tramples all over it.
