The FBI’s recent actions have been a complete disgrace to our democracy and a gross violation of our civil liberties. Retired FBI supervisory intelligence analyst, George Hill, testified to the House Judiciary Committee that the Washington field office was illegally pressuring agents in Boston to open criminal cases on 140 people who had taken a bus to the Jan. 6 rally in Washington, DC – despite the lack of evidence of criminal activity.
Unfortunately, this is only the beginning of the FBI’s abuses of power. Hill has also expressed concerns that the FBI is potentially illegally mining bank records and withholding video footage that could identify its undercover agents and human sources. This type of behavior is unacceptable and goes against our constitutional right to freedom of speech.
Judicial Watch has taken the case to court, filing a FOIA lawsuit against the FBI, asking for all records of communication between the FBI and any financial institution. The FBI has declined to provide any records, and Judicial Watch is currently pursuing litigation to force the Bureau to release documents on how it got bank records during the Jan. 6 probe.
The FBI’s actions are a clear example of political weaponization of the government. It is an attempt to criminalize people and infringe upon our civil liberties for attending a rally. We must stand up and speak out against these injustices and fight for our rights and freedoms.
We must exercise our right to vote and make sure we elect leaders who will fight for our rights and freedoms. We must also continue to speak out against corruption and make sure our voices are heard. The American people deserve to know the truth and to have the assurance that our government is not using our personal data without our consent.
We must hold our representatives accountable for their actions and make sure they are upholding our civil liberties and constitutional rights. We are the ones in charge and we should never forget that our government works for us.
It’s about time lawmakers take a stand and fight for our civil liberties and the truth. The corruption of the FBI and the left’s disregard for civil liberties is alarming and we must do our part to speak out and make sure our voices are heard.
