— which oversees FBI requests for wiretapping and other surveillance — to determine if they are adequate.
Sadly, the country has been here before. In an episode with eerie parallels to today, almost exactly a century ago the FBI’s precursor organization abused its power by conducting sweeping raids , based partly on fears of malign Russian influence in a U.S. election year.That dramatic overreach created deep distrust of government, impacted the then-ongoing presidential race and sparked a civil liberties movement that lasts to this day.

THINK I'm laughing at the idiots below who want to be afforded their Constitutional rights, but not anyone else. Hypocrite
THINK FBI didn't spy on the Trump campaign. - IG Horowitz
THINK When people around you are know for breaking the law and you hire them,investigating their and a person running for President is not spying, it’s protecting a nation. Many convictions and corrupt Regime.
THINK Good story
THINK More excuses and whataboutism in defense of Trump. Minor infractions of rules that led to the uncovering of treason by Trump, his administration and members of Congress. Who lies more the FBI or Trump and his fellow traitors? Sorry, not sorry. BTW: Trump and Cheney lied too.Lies

THINK Anyone running for potus should be thoroughly investigated. Before I could recieve security clearance I had to be investigated. Our national security matters that much and the fbi should definitely investigate anyone running for high level government office imo.
THINK Soliciting criminal Russian interference on national televsion is AOK though.
THINK The title itself makes an unproven accusation not worthy of note. The king worship this sycophant wants to project is very un-American.
geoff9cow THINK Look trump brought that shit on himself, sleeping with Putin, what is the FBI suppose to do....
