    The FBI Under Leftist Control Is Doing Its Best To Imitate The KGB, Spying At Will To Hurt Conservatives

    A Deep State Menace Under Leftist Rule Rises

    The FBI, as the United States’ principal federal investigative agency, has been involved in various surveillance operations throughout its history, some of which have targeted American citizens. These activities have often been conducted under the umbrella of national security and counterintelligence efforts, with the goal of identifying and preventing potential threats to the country.

    One notable example of FBI surveillance on American citizens was the COINTELPRO (Counterintelligence Program) operation, which was active from the 1950s to the 1970s. COINTELPRO was aimed at infiltrating and disrupting various domestic political organizations, including those associated with civil rights activists, anti-war protesters, and other dissenting groups. It involved extensive surveillance, infiltration, and sometimes illegal tactics to gather information and neutralize perceived threats.

    In more recent times, concerns have been raised about the FBI’s use of surveillance tools and techniques, particularly in the context of the digital age. For example, controversies emerged surrounding the FBI’s use of National Security Letters (NSLs) to obtain personal information such as financial records, phone records, and internet usage data without a warrant. The use of these letters was subject to criticism and legal challenges for potential violations of privacy rights.

    Abuse of Government Power Against Political Opponents Like Trump

    It’s worth noting that the scope and legality of FBI surveillance activities are subject to legal constraints and oversight mechanisms. The Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) establishes a framework for the use of surveillance techniques by intelligence agencies, including the FBI, in national security investigations involving non-U.S. persons. However, there have been instances where these surveillance powers have been misused or exceeded, leading to controversies and public debate.

    Overall, the FBI’s surveillance activities on American citizens have been a subject of scrutiny and concern, particularly when they intersect with civil liberties and constitutional protections. It’s important to balance national security needs with the protection of individual privacy and ensure that any surveillance is conducted within the boundaries of the law and subject to appropriate oversight.

    According to an unsealed filing from the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court (FISC), the FBI reportedly utilized warrantless search powers in an improper manner more than 278,000 times during the year ending November 2021. U.S. citizens affected by this improper conduct included individuals connected to the Capitol riot on January 6, 2021, and donors to an unsuccessful congressional candidate.

    The Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA), specifically Section 702, grants the government the authority to carry out targeted surveillance on non-U.S. persons located outside the United States to gather foreign intelligence information. When U.S. citizens become relevant to these investigations, the FBI assumes responsibility for querying them for potential security reasons. In response to the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court’s findings, a senior FBI official expressed strong disapproval, emphasizing that the described errors were entirely unacceptable. The FBI has since revised its querying procedures to prevent such errors from occurring again, resulting in significant improvements to the manner in which lawfully obtained Section 702 information is accessed.

    FBI violates its own rules to set up, attack Conservatives.

    One FBI official affirmed the organization’s commitment to ongoing efforts aimed at enhancing transparency and earning the trust of the American people. This work is crucial for balancing the nation’s security concerns with the protection of privacy and civil liberties. Regarding the events of January 6, it was determined that FBI officials repeatedly violated their own protocols when conducting searches within a vast repository of foreign intelligence related to the insurrection and racial justice protests in 2020, as outlined in a court order released on Friday.

    The thousands of violations, including improper searches involving donors to a congressional campaign, occurred prior to a series of corrective measures initiated in the summer of 2021 and continued throughout the previous year. However, these issues may complicate the FBI and Justice Department’s efforts to obtain congressional reauthorization of a warrantless surveillance program. Law enforcement officials argue that such a program is necessary to combat terrorism, espionage, and international cybercrime.

    The violations detailed in the FISA court order, which exercises legal oversight over the U.S. government’s surveillance powers, were disclosed in a redacted version released by the Office of the Director of National Intelligence. The transparency measures aim to address concerns and ensure accountability. Commenting on the matter, Patrick Toomey, Deputy Director of the ACLU’s National Security Project, underscored the need for congressional intervention to curb what he views as the FBI’s flagrant abuses of this law, including warrantless searches utilizing the names of individuals who made campaign donations.
