The FBI is going to get back in the business of investigating people who are not suspected of doing anything wrong.
They used to do this back during the Red Scare. The FBI investigated people for no damn reason and one of the reasons why J. Edgar Hoover hung on in the job for fifty years was that he investigated all politicians and used what he found to disable his political enemies. That is why the FBI was wiretapping civil rights leaders in the 1960s.
And they are going to do that again.
Anybody who thinks that this will not go horribly wrong is delusional. You need only look at the FBI's abuse of National Security Letters to see that given any tool that allows for discretion, that the FBI will trample all over it.

If you're one of the Covidiots who believe that COVID-19 is "just the flu",
that the 2020 election was stolen, or
especially if you supported the 1/6/21 insurrection,
leave now.

COMMENT MODERATION IS IN EFFECT UFN. This means that if you are an insulting dick, nobody will ever see it.
But these new powers will only be used against terrorists, I'm sure.

Yeah, yer a regular laugh riot. Sort of like the very first time the Feebs used their expanded powers under the USA-FASCISM act, they were not investigating terrorists.
ReplyDeleteSometimes ya gotta laugh because the alternative is screaming impotently in rage while slamming your head against the wall...
