FBI admits illegal spying

The FBI was forced to admit that yes, they really have been illegally spying on Americans. They’ve been doing it for years and did it more than 278,000 times.

As revealed by Washington Post they broke the law “more than 278,000 times, including against crime victims, January 6 riot suspects, people arrested at protests after the police killing of George Floyd in 2020 and — in one case — 19,000 donors to a congressional candidate.”

“It’s okay and there’s no reason to take away our Section 702 toolkit or anything,” Christopher Wray insists, because they already fixed it.

We’re supposed to trust him on that. They might have gotten away with it if this report didn’t come out the same week as the one from John Durham. That’s the one which spelled out exactly how the Federal Bureau of Instigation and the Just Us Department conspired with Hillary Clinton to rig the 2016 election.

It was the FBI’s involvement in Russiagate which prompted this particular audit. The final report was completed a year ago but Merrick Garland was terrified to turn it loose.

Andrew Surabian, Republican strategist said, "This is absolutely outrageous. The FBI illegally abused section 702 of FISA to digitally surveil American citizens without a warrant over 278k times. Any Republican who supports reauthorizing this digital spying program when it comes up for a vote in December deserves a Primary."
