They have a confirmed history. There have been committees and sternly written words. I also believe it is legal for the TLAs to employ propaganda against American people within the borders of our nation. (Pretty sure I heard that from one of my lawtubers, but don’t remember the specifics.)
Yes, I remember that being reported. Heck, Adam Schiff can lie like crazy to the American public and it’s fine because Congress-critters have immunity.
We’re supposed to have FISA courts to make sure that intel people have to have good reasons for at least the searches they do. That’s supposed to hold them accountable without exposing info that would compromise their ability to catch the really bad people, we’re told. But we’ve seen that they lied to the FISA court to waste their time on people they already knew were NOT “really bad people”. And nothing happened to them.
When people or pollers (yeah, I realize they’re not supposed to be mutually exclusive. lol) ask me what my top issue is, for the last 14 years it has been the lawlessness of our own government. Until we get a handle on that, our foreign enemies need not bother destroying us since our domestic ones in our government offices are already doing a fine job of it.
