According to Cindy Harper of Reclaim the Net, the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) has not named the social networks it has paid. This development comes on the heels of news confirming that the bureau paid Twitter at least $3.5 million.
FBI representatives talked to Fox News and revealed that the sizable
Twitter payment was a “reimbursement” for expenses and costs of its requests.
The FBI revealed that the group had paid other social media platforms apart from Twitter. Fox News pressed the FBI to reveal the names of other companies it had paid for these activities. In the end, the FBI was unwilling to provide additional information concerning the topic. However, the FBI representatives revealed that the agency offers payment for all reasonable expenses connected to the acquisition of information that is critical for legal processes.
“While we are not able to speak to specific payments, the government is required to provide reimbursement for reasonable expenses directly related to searching for, assembling, reproducing, or otherwise providing the information responsive to the legal process. This requirement is set by federal law and the courts are the final arbiters of what is reasonable compensation,” the FBI officials stated.
The FBI is a rogue government agency that does whatever it pleases due to the power it has been granted by the congressional uniparty.
This agency is an unconstitutional blight on the American Republic, in addition to being an existential threat to Middle America. Serious political figures on the Right would do everything possible to defund, if not outright abolish, the FBI.
This institution must get the ax if the rule of law is to survive in America.
How about disclosing the news networks with which they regularly communicate for the purpose of directing their preferred narrative? ...and the CIA/NSA/HSA/etc., while we’re at it.
Uneffingbelievable. Our tax dollars at work.
Always post this disclosed at the end of any negative deep state article. Just in case something happens

There was a time that liberals understood that the FBI is not our friend. How did it come to be that in a mere decade, liberals went from hating corporations and the government, to adoring them, and wishing they’d round up anyone who questions them?
Sounds like it is time for Tom Fitton - Judicial Watch to make a FOIA request and get the ball rolling here. Congress won’t do anything, or anything meaningful. FOIA will be dragged out long enough for the eventual release to have no legal or political consequences.
Friggin’ FBI spying on Americans. They couldn’t care less about all the foreign bass turds in America out there trying to destroy our country. The FBI want to bring down AMERICANS ONLY. They are the only weaponized RAT government agency that puts Americans First!
The FBI Refuses to Name Other Social Media Companies It’s Illegally Paying with Taxpayers' Money

Leftists now think they’re holding the leash. They’re too stupid to know historically state surveillance agencies inevitably end up running them.
“Sometimes they threaten you with something - something you can’t stand up to, can’t even think about. And then you say, “Don’t do it to me, do it to somebody else, do it to So-and-so.” And perhaps you might pretend, afterwards, that it was only a trick and that you just said it to make them stop and didn’t mean it. But that isn’t true. At the time when it happens you do mean it. You think there’s no other way of saving yourself, and you’re quite ready to save yourself that way. You WANT it to happen to the other person. You don’t give a damn what they suffer. All you care is yourself.”
― George Orwell, 1984
I’m sure there is a word to describe a Government Agency using taxpayer funds to attack and usurp the God Given rights of the American people protected by the US Constitution??
Mass brainwashing.
“And if all others accepted the lie which the Party imposed—if all records told the same tale—then the lie passed into history and became truth. ‘Who controls the past’ ran the Party slogan, ‘controls the future: who controls the present controls the past.”
― George Orwell, 1984

Do we really need them to actually name the others. We know them.
IT’S ALL OF THEM!.................
Julian Assange and Edward Snowden would NOT be surprised.
Still, we are likely only seeing the tip of this iceberg.
And the USA crashed right into same iceberg several years ago.
Some of the watertight compartments have been totally infiltrated. Most other compartments are leaking to various degrees.
How much of the water can be bailed out before the ship goes down?
