Agency used foreign spying law to gather intelligence in what one lawmaker called ‘shocking abuses’
WASHINGTON—The Federal Bureau of Investigation improperly searched a trove of intelligence gathered through a foreign spying law for information on people suspected of participating in the Jan. 6, 2021 attack on the U.S. Capitol and the George Floyd protests, a court opinion released Friday showed.
Despite a lack of evidence, the FBI performed more than a dozen searches of raw foreign intelligence data related to people believed to be involved in the Capitol riot to hunt for foreign ties, the court said. Separately, three Jan. 6 searches were conducted that used more than 23,000 search terms such as an email account to look for evidence of foreign influence in relation to an unidentified group involved in the riot. The Justice Department later determined there was insufficient factual support for the searches.

This is another intimidation tactic, like raiding the homes of pro-life activists and Mar-a-Lago. The FBI needs to be defund and shuttered. Every FBI agent and administrator needs a thorough investigation with a large number landing in prison for a very long time or executed.
The Left protests, the Right riots /smh
The Libs are getting a taste of their own medicine on Capitol Hill after 4 straight years of “anonymous whistleblowers.”
Jim Jordan has no time for their whining.

Elon Musk Drops Bombshell: ‘FBI Won’t Release Jan 6 Video Because It Would Show Too Many Undercover Government Agents & Informants’
Shame on WSJ for calling 06 Jan an “attack on the US Capitol.”
“people suspected of participating in the Jan. 6, 2021 attack on the U.S. Capitol and the George Floyd protests”
Well, we see how useful that was for the “George Floyd” (Endless Summer) Protests.
The Right never even protested until 2009.
The Left would like you to ignore that little factoid, that “protesting” is their very lifeblood.
The FBI has turned into the Gestapo!
This is how Lavrenti Garland’s DOJ rolls.
They consider any opponent to be an enemy, a criminal, and a traitor.

Cue Bagpipes Barr saying Trump is unfit and he’ll be Indicted.
No questions nor answers about Joe and the nine criminals in his family.
Rinse and repeat
It wasn't, at least there are very few of these George Floyd burn, loot and murderers in prison. Part of that has to do with DA's. The entire justice system is broke,
Using foreign channels? They should all stand down in shame and allow Trump to take the Oval Office. Then proceed with Nuremburg style trials.
Personal data, and lawfare, are the only two means by which marxists have subjugated conservatives since 2020.
Lawfare flowed from those marxist databases.
Thus if conservatives had an identical database, lawfare would then flow freely from that information.
Even. The. Score.
Does this throw out the charges due to illegal use of spy ware?
Prohibition gave us this Stazi-like agency.
Actually, it was enforcement of the Mann Act & the Osage murders that were the impetus to forming the FBI.
