FBI officials repeatedly violated their own standards when they searched a vast repository of foreign intelligence for information related to the Jan. 6, 2021, riot at the U..S. Capitol and racial justice protests in 2020, according to a heavily blacked-out court order released Friday.
FBI officials said the thousands of violations, which also include improper searches of donors to a congressional campaign, predated a series of corrective measures that started in the summer of 2021 and continued last year. But the problems could nonetheless complicate FBI and Justice Department efforts to receive congressional reauthorization of a warrantless surveillance program that law enforcement officials say is needed to counter terrorism, espionage and international cybercrime.
The violations were detailed in a secret court order issued last year by the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court, which has legal oversight of the U.S. government's spy powers. The Office of the Director of the National Intelligence released a redacted version on Friday in what officials said was the interest of transparency. Members of Congress received the order when it was issued last year.

These databases were always going to be used for oppression and suppression of dissent.
Claims to the contrary were lies from day one.
I can’t tell the difference between the FBI and the KGB or gestapo.
‘misused’ = illegally used...
They used data for EXACTLY the reason it was collected!

Yes, and if you think about it, it makes sense. If they release it, then 4Chan will identify EVERYONE IN IT. And they need to protect the cops and CHS’s that appear. On the other hand, if they blur out the cops and CHS’s, then you’ll be able to COUNT them, and see how many there were, and they can’t have THAT either. So, they just don’t release it.
You mean the fake FBI broke the law again?
My surprised face. 😏
