According to an email dated April 20 obtained by WIRED, authored by FBI deputy director Paul Abbate to employees: “To continue to demonstrate why tools like this are essential to our mission, we need to use them, while also holding ourselves accountable for doing so properly and in compliance with legal requirements.” [Emphasis his.]

Abbate added: “I urge everyone to continue to look for ways to appropriately use US person queries to advance the mission, with the added confidence that this new pre-approval requirement will help ensure that those queries are fully compliant with the law.”

According to US representative Zoe Lofgren, a Democrat from California: “The deputy director's email seems to show that the FBI is actively pushing for more surveillance of Americans, not out of necessity but as a default” “This directly contradicts earlier assertions from the FBI during the debate over Section 702’s reauthorization.”

Authorized under the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA), the 702 program permits the government to enlist American companies to eavesdrop on a variety of communications including; calls, texts, emails, and possibly other forms of messaging, all without the need for a search warrant. The key requirement for the program is that at least one of the recipients (the individual “targeted”) be a foreigner reasonably believed to be somewhere other than on US soil.
The bureau first began reporting the figure publicly in 2021, releasing the total number of times that these searches took place, with that number being 2.9 million. Since then, the FBI has “updated its counting methodology” to count only unique searches. (To wit, running the same phone number through the database multiple times a year now counts as a single search.) As a result, at least in part, the number dropped to 119,383 the following year. In 2023, under more stringent guidelines, it dropped further, to 57,094. dni.gov/files/CLPT/documents…

𝐈𝐅 𝐇𝐄 𝐖𝐈𝐍𝐒: 𝐍𝐎𝐁𝐎𝐃𝐘 𝐂𝐀𝐑𝐄𝐒, 𝐘𝐎𝐔𝐑 𝐄𝐘𝐄𝐒 & 𝐄𝐀𝐑𝐒 𝐀𝐑𝐄 𝐋𝐘𝐈𝐍𝐆 𝐓𝐎 𝐘𝐎𝐔, 𝐒𝐓𝐅𝐔. 𝐀 -BIG TECH INTERFERENCE (NOTHING TO SEE HERE) Social Media platforms like META's Facebook, Twitter (Pre-Elon Musk), and YouTube coordinated with the Biden administration to suppress the Hunter Biden Laptop Story, the Ashley Biden Diary and falsely push the Russian Hoax and discredited Steele dossier paid for by Trump opponent Hillary Clinton.  "The investigation into the "collusion" clouded Trump's entire presidency, and Democrats harnessed the tale to paint Trump as an illegitimate president." - USA TODAY Hillary Clinton has yet to be charged with election interference, after numerously claiming Trump's presidency was illegitimate. Nor was Hillary charged for removal, bleaching and deletion of classified documents and emails.  The diary of President Biden's daughter, Ashley Biden has proven to be real. In Ashley's diary she writes about inappropriate showers she share with her dad, Joe Biden, as a child. These allegations have not been investigated. The whistleblower was jailed for selling the diary that was abandoned in a home previously resided by Ashley.  𝐁 -THE FAKE NEWS MEDIA & J6 (STOP READING THIS IS A NOTHING BURGER) Cable Network Providers coordinated with the Biden government to remove OANN for reporting on the truth about the Hunter Biden Laptop  The 2020 Presidential Elections were rigged J6 Protestors were lied to en masse by the fake news media (CNN, MSNBC, ABC, etc...) Undercover agents incited the J6 riots Pelosi failed to provide additional security assistance to help the ill-prepared police quell the J6 protests  Trump requested protestors protest peacefully and lawfully  J6 Protestors were set up via a well coordinated Biden government entrapment  J6 hostages received heavier sentences than child s3xual abusers and murd3r3rs Evidence that may have cleared J6 prisoners were deleted by the J6 committee  Many wrongfully charged J6 protestors have committed suicid3 Thousands of "protestors" by supporters of the BLM, LGBTQA+ and Pro-Palestine that held similar protests and or worse than J6 protestors in Capitol buildings have gone unpunished 𝐂 -SHAM TRIALS (THE MORE YOU READ, THE LESS YOU KNOW. CONTINUE) A former President of the United States was indicted solely for political reasons  Evidence of President Biden's weaponization of government is allowed to go rampant while weak Republicans do nothing Sitting President Joe Biden is colluding with AGs, DAs, DOJ, FBI, CIA, and the National Archives to convict a former POTUS / election interference. A former chief DOJ Attorney now serves as a prosecuting attorney against a former president for DA Alvin Bragg  Judge 'Conflict-of-Interest' Merchan has shown his political bias by not recusing himself after being exposed by investigative X reporter Laura Loomer, that his daughter Loren Merchan and her clients profited by the ongoing Hush Money Trial. Judge 'Joke' Merchan has shown his political BIAS by allowing the Hush Money Trial go to court on no evidence of wrong doing and without requiring the prosecution to state clearly what crime occured. Judge 'CONFLICTED' Merchan has shown his political bias by allowing Stormy Daniels, a prejudiced defendant that has been found guilty and owes hundreds of thousands of dollars to the defendant, to testify. Judge Merchan allowed testimony that had nothing to do with what appears to be a simple accounting error if true. However, the opposite action, using campaign funds to pay off an alleged personal matter, would be a direct violation for prosecution. THERE IS NO CASE.THERE WAS NO CRIME. Stormy Daniels has lied on multiple occasions in Court, on Late Night TV and  magazine articles about the 'imbalance of power' between her and the president. President Bill Clinton lied to the American people, lied to Congress, committed perjury, paid off his victims, used the media to 'Catch & Kill' stories, and abused his power to force an intimate and improper relationship with White House staff and was never held accountable for it.  DA Fani Willis and her lover Nathan Wade met with VP Kamala Harris prior to Trump indictments  Nathan Wade and Fani Willis committed perjury of the court when lying about the start of their romantic relationship where Fani benefited in a quid pro quo scheme Fani Willis used the 'race card' to divide a community and incite a race war in Fulton Co. Fani Willis retaliated against an employee for reporting misuse of government funds Fani Willis failed to prosecute a convicted stalker and has failed to protect women's rights Fani Willis is being sued by Georgia Rep. Mesha Mainor along with Commissioner Marvin Arrington, Fulton County Ethics Board and Fulton County for failing to prosecute Mainor's stalker and RICO along with a litany of other charges.  Fani Willis is currently under investigation for Code of Ethics Violations relating to but not limited to accepting money and not reporting, lying under oath, and misuse of campaign funds. Trump Prosecutor Nathan Wade met with the J6 Select Committee  Trials that disclose what the defendant is being prosecuted for are allowed Head of the DOJ for Civil Rights lied about being arrested for domestic violence during the Senate Judiciary Committee AG Letitia 'CORRUPT' James campaigned on 'Getting Trump' before any investigation began. AG Letitia James went after Trump to make a name for herself. AG Letitia 'Conflict -of-Interest' James made millions during her campaign to 'Get Trump' AG Letitia James may have falsified mortgage documents to purchase assets, why has this not been investigated? How did James become a multi-millionaire on her salary? AG Letitia James spoke negatively of Trump before, during and after the trial impacting the jurors decision making process. AG Letitia James flaunted the bail amount due with interest on social media platforms to continue her goal of milking the trial to advance her political agenda  AG Letitia James and DA Bragg are both guilty of allowing crime to skyrocket in sh-thole NYC. Evidence of a SHAM TRIAL - no other developer in NYC has been charged with the same made up crime of no victim and NEVER will be.  Judge Arthur 'CORRUPT' Engoron found Trump guilty before the trial began.  Judge 'Conflict of Interest' Engoron did not recuse himself from the case when it was exposed that his wife had posted images of the former 45th POTUS in jail on her social media accounts.  Judge Engoron convicted a former president who was not allowed to have a jury, and who had the banks he did business confirm there was no crime, yet was fined with the highest bail amount ever to be given.  Judge Engoron is currently under investigation for unsolicited counsel by a NY Real Estate attorney that was previously suspended prior to issuing his judgement against Trump. E. Jean Carroll by no stretch of the imagination would ever be considered a credible witness. An unlicensed gun was confiscated from E. Jean Carroll's home. No criminal charges filed despite being a serious offense of up to four years in prison.  Only in a liberal city like NYC would any Republican be found not guilty of r8pe but still found liable for millions in damages due to defamation when simply defending themselves from what they know to believe to be false allegations.  The law used to open the case by E. Jean Carroll was done so only to go after Trump as the statute of limitations had already passed.  Democrat NY State Senator Kevin Parker who helped pass the 'Adult Survivors Act'  now says the legislation is unconstitutional after being accused of r8pe himself. E. Jean Carroll and her lawyer don't care about Women's Rights or VICTIMS OF R8PE On CNN's Anderson Cooper 360, E. Jean Carroll looking into Coopers eyes stated, "I think most people think of rape as being sexy, They think of the fantasies." (This statement was not allowed to be shown in court by the defendants) On MSNBC's Rachel Maddow's show when asked how she would spend the money, E. Jean Carroll gleefully said, "First thing, Rachel, you and I are gonna go shopping. We're gonna get completely new wardrobes, new shoes, motorcycle.." She also offered to take Maddow to Paris.  𝐃 - WOMENS' RIGHTS ARE MENS' RIGHTS (BTW- DON'T SHARE THIS) E. Jean Carroll's lawyer, Roberta Kaplan, was the leader of the Time's Up #MeToo Movement. Roberta Kaplan was fired after making negative remarks about alleged victims of Gov. Andrew Cuomo and President Joe Biden. Time's Up, once a powerful resource and advocate for women, collapsed shortly afterwards as it was never able to recover.  Tara Reade and many other SA women that accused Biden of s3xual abuse were abandoned by the #MeToo movement, some even ostracized and forced to leave the country in threat of prosecution/jail as reported by Tucker Carlson on X 𝐄 - NO BORDER NO COUNTRY (NOT TO WORRY, BORDERS ARE SECURED??) Over +7,000,000 illegal migrants have  entered the US Appointed by name only, VP Kamala 'Border Czar' Harris has done ZERO to stop the open border crisis  Mayorkas, Karine Jean-Pierre (KJP) and many other democrats and liberal media lied to the American people for over 3+ years stating that the Border was "secured" while millions of illegal migrants flooded in America's Southern borders, simply to cover up and conceal Biden's failed migrant policies before accusing Republicans. Evidence exists that illegal migrants are being told to vote for Biden.  Evidence exists that NGOs are profiting from the illegal migration, child trafficking, and drugs being let into the US due to Joseph Biden's failed border non-policies.  American Tax Payers are funding the housing, food and debit cards given to millions of migrants who are residing in the US illegally  Sanctuary cities often do not prosecute migrant criminals for crimes and often release with no bail when arrested 𝐅- DID YOU KNOW ISRA, ILHAN OMAR'S DAUGHTER STARTED THE 'ENCAMPMENT MOVEMENT'??!! President Biden did not condemn the thousands of 'Pro-Palestine Protests' that took over university campuses, damaged properties, chanted hate speech, prevented American students from attending classes, canceled graduation ceremonies, blocked traffic, burned the American flag,  all while not knowing what they were protesting against. (SEARCH ISRA HIRSI AND @POLITICSONX FOR MY THREAD ON ISRA ON X) 𝐆 - TRANS' RIGHTS TRUMP WOMENS' RIGHTS IN BIDEN'S AMERICA Women's rights have been replaced by Trans rights Women are losing scholarship opportunities to biological men Women are being physically abused by men in contact sports like basketball, field hockey, wrestling etc.. Girls are being forced to share public restroom with full grown adult men Crimes of Trans people are not reported, redacted, or are misrepresented to paint the criminal in a better light President Biden has announced his support for Trans people more than he has for victims and the family of victims impacted by illegal migrants  𝐈𝐅 𝐘𝐎𝐔 𝐌𝐀𝐃𝐄 𝐈𝐓 𝐓𝐇𝐈𝐒 𝐅𝐀𝐑 𝐘𝐎𝐔 𝐇𝐀𝐕𝐄 𝐖𝐀𝐒𝐓𝐄𝐃 𝐘𝐎𝐔𝐑 𝐓𝐈𝐌𝐄 𝐀𝐒 𝐍𝐎𝐍𝐄 𝐎𝐅 𝐓𝐇𝐈𝐒 𝐌𝐀𝐓𝐓𝐄𝐑𝐒, 𝐒𝐓𝐅𝐔: 𝐍𝐎𝐁𝐎𝐃𝐘 𝐂𝐀𝐑𝐄𝐒, 𝐘𝐎𝐔𝐑 𝐄𝐘𝐄𝐒 & 𝐄𝐀𝐑𝐒 𝐀𝐑𝐄 𝐋𝐘𝐈𝐍𝐆 𝐓𝐎 𝐘𝐎𝐔
