Republican lawmaker calls out Biden administration for turning intelligence agencies on US citizens

Rep. Chris Stewart called out the Biden administration Friday on "Tucker Carlson Tonight" for turning the intelligence community against American citizens, rather than their intended purpose of focusing on foreign threats.

"[Intelligence agencies were] never, ever intended to look at U.S. persons until this [Biden] administration comes along and says, you know, those other threats are important, but the real threat we're worried about is domestic violent extremism; White supremacy," Stewart said.

"And because this White supremacy threat is so great – which by the way, is nonsense – now we need to use the power… we give the National Security Agency or the CIA or DIA… upon U.S. persons, the administration says."

Stewart said a 2021 briefing sent from the Office of the Director of National Intelligence to Congress on White supremacy and domestic terrorism "should enrage Americans."

Stewart's bill, the Intelligence Community Authorities Clarification Act would, "put a wall between U.S. intelligence agencies and U.S. citizens, preventing the [Intelligence Community] from spying on Americans."

**SNIP**

"They've admitted it," Carlson told Stewart of the NSA situation. "I've spoken directly to two sitting members of Congress whose job it is to oversee the intelligence agencies, who told me directly that they were being spied on… and they didn't do anything about it."

From the Congressman: “”I’ve spoken directly to two sitting members of Congress whose job it is to oversee the intelligence agencies, who told me directly that they were being spied on… and they didn’t do anything about it.”

Why did two sitting members of Congress, sitting on the oversight committee, do nothing when they became aware of improper and illegal behavior of the intelligence committees? Were they compromised?

“Were they compromised?”


Would they be there if they weren’t?

Is there no resolution to this unconstitutional behavior other than an armed civil war?

Some of these elected geniuses had better put a lid on all of this madness or I suspect that the American people will do it the hard way.

The goal is to reduce the citizens to whimpering compliant serfs. They started by calling pride and self-worth “White supremacism” so as to provide a justification for wiping out that White pride and self-worth.

It was the Kenyanesian Usurper who turned EVERY agency against the citizens.

A shame NONE of our elected OR appointed would uphold the Constitution.

Jo Jo didn’t do this. The Bonzo administration did this. Bonzo, Holder, Comey, Crapper and Brennan. Jo Jo just continued it with Garland.

It was the hiring practices pushed by 0bama that made the agencies hyper partisan
