Revoke its corporate charter and disband the FBI

Editor's note: And you do not have to be a "Trump loyalist" to call for defunding of the FBI. It's inevitable as intense focus comes down on the weaponization of the FBI and the DoJ. What are we actually dealing with here on the human level with the hierarchy inside the FBI with a massive $10.8 billion bureaucracy? Are we dealing with extremism, psychopathy, narcissism and communists? With a budget growing every year, the FBI is like a business: it can only expand much to our peril. Are we in a direct confrontation with the FBI that is leftwing authoritarianism? During May 23rd's House Homeland Security Committee hearing, Rep Eli Crane (R-AZ) grilled Deputy Assistant Director for the Counterintelligence Division in the Federal Bureau of Investigation Jill Murphy.

EXPOSED: Biggest FBI Spy Scandal of the Year

by Jim Bovard | May 25, 2023

A Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court opinion released last week revealed that the FBI violated the constitutional rights of 278,000 Americans in 2020 and 2021 with warrantless searches of their email and other electronic data. For each American that the FISA court permitted the FBI to target, the FBI illicitly surveilled almost a thousand additional Americans. This is only the latest federal surveillance scandal stretching back to the years after 9/11.

The FISA law was enacted in 1978 to curb the rampant illegal political spying exposed during the Richard Nixon administration. After the 9/11 attacks, the George W. Bush administration decided that the president was entitled to order the National Security Agency to vacuum up Americans' emails and other data without a warrant. After The New York Times exposed the surveillance scheme in late 2005, Attorney General Alberto Gonzales announced that “the president has the inherent authority under the Constitution, as commander in chief, to engage in this kind of activity." Gonzales apparently forgot the congressional impeachment proceedings against President Nixon. The Bush White House also asserted that the September 2001 "Authorization to Use Military Force" resolution Congress passed entitled Bush to tap Americans' phones. But if the authorization actually allowed the president to do whatever he thinks necessary on the homefront, Americans had been living under martial law.

Federal judges disagreed with Bush's prerogative to obliterate American privacy. The result was a 2008 FISA reform that authorized the feds to continue commandeering vast amounts of data. But under Section 702 of that law, the FBI was permitted to conduct warrantless searches of that stash for Americans' data only to seek foreign intelligence information or evidence of crime.

President Barack Obama responded to the new law by sharply expanding the NSA's seizures of Americans' personal data. The Washington Post characterized Obama's first term as "a period of exponential growth for the NSA's domestic collection." Obama's Justice Department thwarted court challenges to the surveillance, thereby permitting the White House to claim that it was respecting Americans' rights and privacy.

Edward Snowden blew the roof off the surveillance state with his disclosures starting in June 2013. But there was no reason to presume that federal crime sprees were not occurring before Snowden blew the whistle. Professor David Rothkopf explained in 2013 how FISA's Section 702 worked:

"What if government officials came to your home and said that they would collect all of your papers and hold onto them for safe-keeping, just in case they needed them in the future. But don't worry…they wouldn't open the boxes until they had a secret government court order…sometime, unbeknownst to you."

The 2008 FISA amendments and Section 702 snared vast numbers of hapless Americans in federal surveillance nets. The Washington Post analyzed a cache of 160,000 secret email conversations/threads (provided by Snowden) that the NSA intercepted and found that nine out of ten account holders were not the "intended surveillance targets but were caught in a net the agency had cast for somebody else." Almost half of the individuals whose personal data was inadvertently commandeered were U.S. citizens. The files "tell stories of love and heartbreak, illicit sexual liaisons, mental-health crises, political and religious conversions, financial anxieties and disappointed hopes," the Post noted. If an American citizen wrote an email in a foreign language, NSA analysts assumed they were foreigners who could be surveilled without a warrant.

Snowden also leaked secret court rulings that proved that the FISA Court had "created a secret body of law giving the National Security Agency the power to amass vast collections of data on Americans," The New York Times reported in 2013. FISA judges rubberstamped massive seizures of Americans' personal data that flagrantly contradicted Supreme Court rulings on the Fourth Amendment. The Times noted that the FISA court had "become almost a parallel Supreme Court, serving as the ultimate arbiter on surveillance issues," and almost always giving federal agencies all the power they sought.
