Thanks a lot, Speaker Johnson: FBI brass just urged agents to use warrantless wiretaps on US citizens…
Revolver ^

Posted on 05/10/2024 6:29:34 AM PDT by Tench_Coxe

The FBI is at it again, going after US citizens with a little help from Speaker Johnson and the rest of Congress, who voted to extend the FBI’s 702 FISA powers. Remember, these are the same powers they used illegally against President Trump and his team without ever facing the consequences. Now, they’re back in action, ready to crank up the wiretaps, all thanks to our “captured” lawmakers. As a matter of fact, about 20 minutes before becoming Speaker, Mike Johnson was against the FBI’s warrantless wiretaps. But that stance took a quick turn after the feds got him alone in a locked room and really worked him over.

(snip)

WIRED: New @FBI email revelation shows MORE surveillance planned after Congress extended FISA 702 powers.

“The deputy director’s email seems to show that the FBI is actively pushing for more surveillance of Americans, not out of necessity but as a default,” says @RepZoeLofgren (D-CA). “This directly contradicts earlier assertions from the FBI during the debate over Section 702’s reauthorization.”

This would be a great time for God to send the largest ever solar flare to KNOCK OUT the evil surveillance systems. If God doesn’t step up then the ChiComs will send the EMP to do the same.

If Trump wins this November, there’s every reason to believe that Johnson will be at least as big an impediment to his agenda as Paul Ryan ever was. We will most likely never get a border wall built, and worms like Mike Johnson are the reason why.

This is yet another example of why it was so difficult for President Trump to choose people for his administration. The deep state is powerful, and numerous. Just like Johnson, many of the people Trump considered had solid records, only to turn on him the first chance they got. Just as Johnson turned on America the first chance he got.

The DOJ/FBI is America’s KGB

Like the KGB, no politician can lead or rise to a high position without its approval.

Johnson’s DEEDS were opposite of his WORDS. LIAR. The lie is the weapon most often by the criminal.

Just more evidence that Mike Johnson is straight up evil. You’ve got to watch out for some of these guys who wear Christianity on their sleeve, many of them are lying phonies and are as treacherous as can be.

Money, power, extortion, blackmail and other assorted crooked politics have ruined US. There is only one way out until the cycle repeats. It will inevitably repeat. Man is naturally corruptable and corrupt.

When they say “American citizen”, they are really talking about all those filthy Jihadist that Obama and Biden allowed to infiltrate the US.

Instead of just keeping them out to begin with, we are now stuck with those Islamist terrorist (that the media calls American citizens).

It also gives the Rats in the CIA and FBI the incentive to spy on Republicans. /spit

I will make you a bet.

I bet the Uniparty has fake conservative ‘ringers’ that they can swap in at the House and Senate leadership positions.

Further, I bet Mike Johnson was one such ‘ringer’.
