Some recent events that make us wonder if the republic can be saved. On April 12, the House passed (273–147) two-year reauthorization of Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA).   FBI Can Put Anyone n Jail.   This is on video! The Gateway Pundit reported on April 9:

Gavin O’Blennis, a Contracting Officer for the CIA told an undercover journalist with Sound Investigations that the FBI “can put anyone in jail…set ’em up!”  We call it a nudge,” O’Blennis said, adding the FBI can put “problematic” right-wing journalists like Tucker Carlson and Alex Jones in jail.

If you believe the FBI, Justice Department, and other government agencies correctly used Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) and properly conducted warrantless searches of Americans, you are happy the House passed Section 702 with modifications that extends FISA two more years.

 If you do NOT believe the FBI, Justice Department, and other government agencies correctly used Section 702 to conduct warrantless searches of American citizens, you did not want Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act renewed.

In May 2023, Reuters reported:

A U.S. court found that the FBI improperly searched for information in a U.S. database of foreign intelligence 278,000 times over several years, including on Americans suspected of crimes, according to a ruling released on Friday. The decision by the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court was released by the Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI). The searches occurred in the course of U.S. crime investigations including the Jan. 6 Capitol riots and protests after the 2020 killing of George Floyd, the court said.
