More bad news for the FBI.

So, your argument is, "Well, they only violated people's rights 278,000 times. No big deal."???
It's not a big deal compared to the millions of such queries under your orange Jesus in 2017.
Wow. When Wray says it's unacceptable, you know it's bad. He won't do anything that will prevent this in the future. But at least he's acknowledges it's bad.
Any abuse under any administration is terrifying and should be condemned.
You still don't get it. It's not just one party we're concerned about. The weaponization of governmental agencies against anyone is improper.
The function of the FBI and federal law enforcement is to investigate and prevent crime - NOT to manufacture evidence and look for crimes where none have occurred.
Yeah, right. Was this mentioned as a problem (other than Carter Page) one time by you and your fellow republicans before that investigation?
It's crazy dems whine about fascism while openly embracing it & losing their shit when you point out their hypocrisy out to them.
"While more Democrats and independents agree the act is necessary in the war on terror, Republican support has dropped 8 percentage points."
As a follow-up to conservatives' concerns related to the Patriot Act...

Who would have thunk that??? Certainly not many liberals... Now who are the real fascists???
FBI misused intelligence database in 278,000 searches, court says
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.

You lying idiot.
2006:
Republicans approve of Patriot Act 65%
Dems 25%
2011:
Republicans 57%
Dems 35%
Dems love the FBI going after their political opponents. They love it. They actually see it is as justified if it helps them win.
Did anyone know the FBI was falsifying info to judges and/or abusing it before then, you fvcking idiot?
You intimate that ALL Republicans are in favor of the Patriot Act. There has always been opposition to that from the Right, including me. The point was, and is, liberals are embracing it more and conservatives are embracing it less.
It's not a lie and it is the truth, just as you unwittingly proved with your post. What about today?
Americans do not want a new Patriot Act, but opinions differ by party

"Independents and Republicans oppose a new Patriot Act, with 52% of Independents (18% somewhat and 34% strongly) and 68% of Republicans (22% somewhat and 46% strongly) not in favor of this idea. Only 21% of Independents (13% somewhat and 8% strongly) and 26% of Republicans (16% somewhat and 10% strongly) support passing this bill. Democrats, on the other hand, are equally divided on this issue. 44% of Democrats (24% somewhat and 20% strongly) support a new Patriot Act, while 44% of Democrats (22% somewhat and 22% strongly) oppose it."
The New Republic is hardly a right-wing source...
Why the Hell Did Democrats Just Extend the Patriot Act?
House leadership included the measure in a government funding bill—and even members of the Congressional Progressive Caucus went along with it.

Remember what I said about discernment? You really need to work on that...
BTW, I never supported the patriot act.Of course not. Not a word since 2001.
Really? Where.
My guess it has NOTHING to do with...
On January 6th, right-wing extremists stormed the Capitol building to stop the democratic process of certifying President Biden’s victory and overturn the November election results.
Yeah it is..."While more Democrats and independents agree the act is necessary in the war on terror, Republican support has dropped 8 percentage points."
Hard to forget your stupidity.
Remember what I said about trying to justify yourself by using the Old Law?
