The speaker questions the witness about the FBI's history of violating people's rights, including fraud in forensic testimony, improper searches of US officials, and spying on activists. The witness claims to be unaware of these incidents and dismisses them as irrelevant. The speaker argues that the witness's initial reaction to the allegations against the FBI was biased and asks if she could have investigated the matter further. The witness defends her belief in a broad conspiracy involving multiple agencies but admits to not conducting any investigation.

Every year, hundreds of thousands of searches of Americans' private communications are conducted without a warrant. This violates citizens' constitutional rights. The FBI claims they will fix the problem internally, but the number of illegal searches keeps increasing. It seems like the FBI only wants to avoid getting caught.

During a hearing, Republican Senator Josh Hawley questioned the FBI deputy director about the lack of accountability for lying to the FISA court and the agency's history of abuses. He expressed concerns about reauthorizing section 702 given the FBI's track record of illegal surveillance and political targeting. The speaker in the video encourages viewers to show their support by using the phrase "88 GIPHY" in the chat. They criticize the FBI for not being able to answer basic questions and accuse them of arresting Donald Trump while leaking information about Joe Biden.

Before calling on Senator Lee, I need clarification on whether the FBI headquarters, which investigates cybercrime and terrorism, should be shut down. I deserve an answer. If the best attacks against me are false accusations, this body undermines the credibility of the FBI. I have served in every theater of war and any claims that I prioritize political bias over the Constitution are unfair. I have the endorsement of over 300,000 law enforcement officers for the FBI director position. I am quoting his own words, and facts matter. You had three minutes in the next round to address this.

The IRS has been using AI to access American citizens' bank accounts without search warrants or evidence of wrongdoing. An undercover journalist revealed that the IRS claims to have access to everyone's bank accounts and is collaborating with the Department of Justice. They focus on enforcing tax compliance among ordinary citizens. This practice raises serious concerns about violations of the Fourth Amendment. In response, Jim Jordan and I have sent a letter to the IRS requesting more information about their use of AI and measures to protect the civil rights of Americans.

The speaker discusses the 3.4 million backdoor sources mentioned by the ranking member. They express concern about the high volume of searches and the reported error rate of around 30%. They question how many people are capable of performing these searches and suggest incorporating safeguards, such as FISA court review, to protect Americans. The speaker mentions the possibility of over 10,000 people in the federal government who can perform these queries.

It's an honor to be here today. I'm grateful to President Trump for nominating me to serve as the Director of National Intelligence at a time when trust in the intelligence community is at an all time low. For too long, faulty intelligence has led to costly failures, such as the invasion of Iraq. The American people elected Donald Trump as their president twice, yet the FBI and intelligence agencies were politicized to undermine his presidency and falsely portray him as a puppet of Putin. Title one of FISA was used illegally to spy on Carter Page. Tony Blinken was the impetus for the 51 former senior intelligence officials' letter dismissing Hunter Biden's laptop as disinformation to help Biden win the election. James Clapper lied to this committee in 2013, denying the existence of programs that facilitated the mass collection of Americans' phone and Internet records, yet was never held accountable. The CIA spied on congress and the FBI abused its power to surveil Catholics who attend traditional Latin mass. Just twenty four hours after I criticized Kamala Harris, I was placed on a secret domestic terror watch list called Quiet Skies. This must end. President Trump's reelection is a clear mandate to break this cycle of failure and begin to restore trust in those who've been charged with securing our nation.

I'm honored to be confirmed and thank President Trump and Attorney General Bondi for their support. The FBI has a storied legacy, and the American people deserve an FBI that is transparent, accountable, and committed to justice. The politicization of our justice system has eroded public trust, but that ends today. My mission as director is clear: Let good cops be cops and rebuild trust in the FBI. Working alongside the dedicated men and women of the bureau and our partners, we will rebuild an FBI the American people can be proud of. To those who seek to harm Americans, consider this your warning: We will hunt you down in every corner of this planet. Mission first, America always. Let's get to work.

The speaker discusses the 3.4 million backdoor sources mentioned by the ranking member. They express concern about the high volume of searches and the reported error rate of around 30%. They question how many people are capable of performing these searches and suggest incorporating safeguards, such as FISA court review, to protect Americans. The speaker mentions the possibility of over 10,000 people in the federal government who can perform these queries.

We still lack complete transparency from the DOJ and FBI regarding their illegal surveillance of 275,000 Americans. It's crucial to restore trust in our agencies by revealing the truth about these violations. The American public desires this transparency, which can help restore honor and trust in government. As an American citizen, I want to uncover the full extent of issues like Russiagate and other significant events. The recent election provided a chance to move away from corrupt political dynasties. The mandate is clear: the public wants the truth. I hope President Trump will serve as a vehicle for this truth across all departments, and Congress will play a vital role in oversight investigations to reveal corruption and improve budgeting practices.

The speaker questions the FBI's practice of tipping off the subject of a search warrant before it is executed. They inquire about the FBI's contact with the protective detail of individuals and the potential undermining of investigations. The speaker expresses frustration with the lack of answers and accuses the FBI of a cover-up. Director Wray requests a 5-minute recess. The speaker acknowledges the frustration but explains that policies prevent discussing ongoing investigations. They mention that these policies were strengthened under the previous administration. The speaker concludes by stating that there is an obligation to call out corruption.

Speaker 0 expresses distrust in the speaker's claims of new procedures and policies, citing a lack of transparency and accountability. They question the firing and security clearance stripping of those who violated civil rights. Speaker 0 highlights the high number of searches conducted by the FBI in 2022, with only a small fraction resulting in evidence of a crime. They ask specific yes or no questions about certain queries, to which Speaker 1 provides evasive answers. Speaker 0 criticizes the FBI for ignoring court order requirements and argues for the importance of constitutional protections. Speaker 1 defends the reforms and constitutionality of Section 702, but Speaker 0 dismisses these arguments.

The speaker opposes a FISA bill allowing the government to force anyone with access to communications to spy. This bill expands government surveillance powers significantly, potentially deputizing millions of Americans to spy without oversight. Supporters argue it targets foreigners, but Americans' communications can be collected if they interact with foreign targets. The bill lacks meaningful reforms and fails to address warrantless searches of Americans' communications under Section 702. Concerns include potential abuses and lack of oversight, especially with the broad expansion of surveillance authorities.

The Director of National Intelligence reported that an FBI analyst ran queries based on a tip from his mother about his father's alleged affair. The speaker questions if the analyst was terminated or had their security clearance revoked. The speaker also raises concerns about intentional wrong searches conducted by FBI employees, but the other speaker cannot provide specific information on those instances. The speaker criticizes the lack of trust in the FBI's ability to address these issues and highlights the need for reforms. They argue that adding a warrant requirement for queries involving US persons would not hinder the government's efforts. The conversation ends with a disagreement on the constitutionality of Section 702 and the FBI's actions.

Yesterday's House vote wasn't directly on FISA or warrant requirements for surveilling Americans, but on bringing the issue before Congress, which failed. This is unfortunate because FISA will likely return without the warrant requirement. Section 702 of FISA has been chronically misused. A 2021 Inspector General report revealed roughly a third of 3.4 million database queries violated rules. There are a minimum of 10,000 people with access to this database, with many unknown entry points. No one has been held accountable. Problems disclosed in a 2017 FISA court report were supposedly addressed, but the 2021 Horowitz report showed problems have exponentially increased. I don't believe any reform can fix the structural problems with FISA. The intelligence community refuses warrants for surveilling Americans while Congress wants notification if they're surveilled, highlighting a broken system.

The FBI is being accused of corruption and targeting politicians, parents, and ordinary citizens. Whistleblowers have bravely come forward, facing retaliation and being blocked from working both inside and outside the FBI. This is a troubling time for the American people.

Speaker 0: We have a problem with the CIA and FBI in Washington. Speaker 1: What's your plan to start over and fix them? Speaker 0: They've gotten out of control, with weaponization and other issues. The people need to bring about change. We were making progress, but more needs to be done.

How many illegal FISA queries have occurred under your leadership? Reports indicate over a million errors among 3.4 million queries. Do you disagree with the inspector general's assessment? I don't have those numbers right now. The court noted over 200,000 violations during your tenure. Did you knowingly mislead Senator Lee about Pfizer's involvement in the January 6 investigation? I did not perjure myself; I believed Pfizer was not involved at the time. The court found FBI personnel conducted improper queries for personal reasons. What accountability measures have been taken? There have been disciplinary actions, but I can't discuss specifics. The FBI's trust is at an all-time low, and people feel you aren't providing honest answers. In Florida, applications to work for us have increased over 100%. We are proud of our agents and they deserve better.

The FBI was accused of treason and illegal spying, but the truth is that all of that was nonsense. I was wrong about the FISA process being handled in a thoughtful and appropriate way; I was overconfident. The Steele reporting played a central and essential role in the decision to seek a FISA order, but the FBI didn't conclude that Steele's reporting was bunk after talking to a sub source. As director, I wasn't informed on the details of the investigation. The inspector general did not find misconduct by any FBI people, but mistakes, negligence, and oversight. One FBI lawyer doctored a document. The inspector general did not find political bias or illegal conduct, but significant mistakes. The American people were given false information about the FBI. It is honest, and flawed. It's unclear if there was gross incompetence, negligence, or intentionality.

Speaker 0 questions if anyone has been held accountable for lying to the FISA court for the Carter Page warrant. Speaker 1 mentions an ongoing disciplinary process. Speaker 0 expresses concern about reauthorizing extraordinary authorities due to the agency's history of abuses and concealing information about allegations against the president. Speaker 1 tries to shift the focus to reforms, but Speaker 0 insists on discussing the reauthorization of section 702, highlighting the agency's track record of abuse, illegal surveillance, and political targeting.

The speaker expresses concern about the politicization and weaponization of the justice system, specifically regarding the FISA process. They highlight how the FISA court found that the FBI illegally used FISA 275,000 times against Americans, including cases related to January 6th. The speaker criticizes Congress for reauthorizing FISA and argues that it has been turned inward, targeting Americans and groups associated with January 6th. They suggest that Congress should have implemented reforms to prevent abuse of power. The speaker also criticizes FBI Director Christopher Wray for not effectively addressing the issue and accuses the Republican leadership of rewarding the FBI for breaking the law and interfering in elections, particularly against Donald Trump.

We should question our trust in the FBI and DOJ regarding their ability to police themselves under FISA. They have consistently shown over the years that they cannot be trusted. Congress needs to address this issue and stop relying on the surveillance state to fix it, as it has proven ineffective. Trusting these agencies again would be unwise based on their track record.

The FBI was accused of treason, illegal spying, and a criminal conspiracy to unseat a president. All of that was nonsense. I was overconfident in the procedures that the FBI and Justice had built. The Steele reporting played a central and essential role in the decision to seek a FISA order. I don't believe the FBI concluded that Steele's reporting was bunk after talking to a sub source. As the director, you're not kept informed on the details of an investigation. The inspector general did not find misconduct by any FBI people. He found mistakes and negligent oversight. The inspector general found significant mistakes, and that is not something to sneeze at. The American people, especially your viewers, need to realize they were given false information about the FBI. It's honest, it is not political, it is flawed.

As a former member of the judiciary, I witnessed numerous FBI abuses. However, after becoming speaker, I received a confidential briefing on the importance of section 702 of FISA for national security, which changed my perspective. I urge all members to attend classified briefings to make informed decisions. Opinions have shifted after these briefings, highlighting the importance of being fully informed. Translation: The speaker discussed their experience with FBI abuses and how a confidential briefing on FISA section 702 changed their perspective on national security. They emphasized the importance of attending classified briefings to make well-informed decisions.

There's a clear distinction between legitimate evidence for an investigation and fabricated evidence, as seen in the Russia collusion scandal where the FISA courts were misled. The Biden administration and the DOJ have also engaged in politically motivated actions, such as the indictments and the raid on Mar-a-Lago, which many view as unjust. This politicization of justice is concerning. It's important to acknowledge that many rank-and-file FBI agents are frustrated with the current situation and desire reform. I've been critical of figures like Merrick Garland and Jack Smith throughout this process.
