The FBI improperly performed warrantless searches on more than a quarter-million U.S. citizens in a single year, a 127-page court filing unsealed Friday by the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court (FISA), in the latest instance of FBI abuse of its powers to make the news. The FBI conducted more than 278,000 illegitimate queries on citizens, including some George Floyd protestors and more than nineteen thousand donors to a Congressional campaign, in the 12 months ending November 2021. The FBI conducted search queries on U.S. citizens without any justification or evidence of wrongdoing, the court filing reveals. "I can only take this as an intimidation tactic at this point," Ketch told Fox News on Friday. "They're going after everybody," Ketch, a pro-life progressive, said.
