Pelosi’s Capitol Police Gathering “Intelligence” on Hill Staffers and Citizens Who Meet with Lawmakers
Far-left Politico reported:
After the Jan. 6 insurrection, the Capitol Police’s intelligence unit quietly started scrutinizing the backgrounds of people who meet with lawmakers, according to three people familiar with the matter.
POLITICO also viewed written communications describing the new approach, part of a host of changes that the department implemented after the Capitol attack. Examining the social media feeds of people who aren’t suspected of crimes, however, is a controversial move for law enforcement and intelligence officials given the civil liberties concerns it raises.
Among those who have been subject to new Capitol Police scrutiny are Hill staffers, the three people said. All spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss the matter.
Several Capitol Police intelligence analysts have already raised concerns about the practice to the department’s inspector general, according to one of the people who spoke for this story.
The Capitol Police, in a statement, defended the practice of searching for public information about people meeting with lawmakers and said the department coordinates the work with members’ offices.
“The more public information we have, the better we can understand what kind and how much security is necessary,” the statement said.
Did you ever think you’d read/see such a thing happening in this country?
They got to work, with their totalitarian regs, right after they pulled off their coup, didn’t they? Almost like they had so much of this all ready to roll out, or something. 🤔
There is something very sinister and nefarious to use the CP to spy on the opposition party.
The fact that the CP is going along with it tells me they all need to be FIRED.
