@TheNewsOwl Yeah smart like brick
@TheNewsOwl this article is the most infuriating thing I’ve read in a long time.
“The report describes the attempts of top intelligence officials to connect protesters to a fabricated anti-fascist terrorist plot in hopes of boosting Trump’s reelection odds, raising concerns about the ability of a sitting president to co-opt billions of dollars’ worth of domestic intelligence assets for their own political gain.”
@TheNewsOwl I remember the FBI claiming numerous times, in relation to Jan 6, that they couldn’t (inexplicably) follow people’s social media accounts… yet they were doing exactly that here:
“DHS emails in July 2020 that prompted questions from lawmakers about potential intelligence abuses, including the monitoring of journalists’ activities online and the liberal application of terrorism-related language to describe Americans engaged in protest.”
@TheNewsOwl I’m sure Fox News will be reporting this 🙄
@TheNewsOwl
No surprise here 🙄
