They really (albeit stealth-fully) declared war on the American people. Once Obama and the party of treason got their army fully in place at the FBI, CIA, NSA, DoJ etc, the government was at war against the people. And even after Obama was out, his army continued working well past his expiration date.
Is it any wonder the Democrat party of treason is trying to tie President Trump and his admin up in knots? To keep from the getting to the truth.
For years after 9/11, we had to suffer the Democrats’ endless shrieking about the Patriot Act and what the Bush administration could do with it. Diabolically it was the Democrats who spied on Americans, anyone who refused to submit to their authoritarianism.

October 16, 2019:
According to a new declassified ruling FBI employees abused NSA mass surveillance data in 2017 and 2018. In 2017 FBI employees conducted over 3.1 million searches from the NSA database including searching activities of US citizens.
Under current FBI rules surveillance data can only be searched if there is reasonable suspicion of crimes having taken place or clear risks to national security. But FBI employees and even contractors were searching the database to see what information they could find on U.S. citizens.
The bureau is OUT OF CONTROL!
CPO Magazine reported:
According to a new declassified ruling from the U.S. Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court (FISC), FBI personnel systematically abused National Security Agency (NSA) mass surveillance data in both 2017 and 2018. The 138-page ruling, which dates back to October 2018, was only unsealed 12 months later in October 2019. It offers a rare look at how the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) has been abusing the constitutional privacy rights of U.S. citizens with alarming regularity. The court ruling is also a stinging rebuke to the FBI’s overreach of its ability to search surveillance intelligence databases.
Key elements of the FISA court ruling
The U.S. Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court, itself a super-secret court that traditionally approves each and every request of law enforcement agencies such as the FBI, found that employees of the FBI searched data collected under Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) in an inappropriate and potentially unconstitutional manner. These abuses, says the FISA court, included accessing NSA surveillance data to look into the online communications of U.S. citizens, including fellow FBI employees and their family members. All told, there may have been tens of thousands of these improper queries, all of them carried out without any reasonable suspicion of a crime or illegal activity posing a risk to national security. Moreover, many of the FBI’s backdoor searches did not differentiate between U.S. citizens and foreign intelligence targets.
In 2017 alone, the FBI conducted over 3.1 million searches of surveillance data, compared to just 7,500 combined searches by the CIA and NSA. This is particularly troubling because, under current FBI operating procedures, this surveillance data can only be searched if there is reasonable suspicion of crimes having taken place or clear risks to national security. And, yet, FBI employees and FBI contractors were at times searching the database to see what information they could find on U.S. citizens not at all connected to foreign intelligence matters.
The FBI and deep state operatives were also spying on the Trump family, the Trump administration and conservatives during this same time period.

Does anyone have information on the means by which an individual can determine if a search has been performed on them? Is there a procedure or an agency? An online option?

Watcher-
I am virtually certain you cannot find information in any authoritative publicly available forum about searches made on you in intel / law enforcement databases. That would tend to defeat the purpose of the inquiry. You probably would not want your inquisitive neighbor accessing that information anyway!
Bear in mind that unless there is a determined need, the results of such queries are deleted after some weeks. In addition, if it is determined that an illegal search was conducted on you, then I think- don’t take this as gospel- that there is a mechanism for informing you, but I don’t know the specifics.

Thank you for responding. It’s exactly that inquisitive neighbor possibility that leads me to ask. He is in LE and has been outside the law, in terms of information, before. ETA: LE as in he’s in law enforcement

Yes you can file a Freedom Of Information Inquiry. It will tell you unless you are part of an active investigation.

You may well be correct, but there is less to that than meets the eye. Subject to certain constraints (an active investigation being one), the search results- even a record of the search itself, i believe- is removed after, oh I think 90 days.
I sincerely doubt there is much to be gained by filing such requests.

I have not read the ruling, but I do have some relevant background here.
But FBI employees and even contractors were searching the database to see what information they could find on U.S. citizens.
They are allowed to do this subject to the terms of a warrant, which may be a bit more extensive than most people realize.
The court ruling is also a stinging rebuke to the FBI’s overreach of its ability to search surveillance intelligence databases.
I’d be interested in what the “overreach” was. The FBI does have extensive procedures in place to prevent illegal searches. People have been fired at American intel agencies for violating procedures. Has there been a breakdown? I don’t know.
Here is something for people to bear in mind. The FBI has nabbed a few people with involvement in terrorist activities- sometimes at an airport bound for a flight abroad- before they could act. Bulk data collection is a vital part of their ability to do that. I for one have no problem with bulk data collection of various kinds of data and searches on that data when they are performed legally. Inevitably, non-participants are going to be caught up in some of these searches.
As Scott McNally so colorfully put it: “You have no privacy. Get over it.”

3.1 million “warrants” in 2017 alone? You make me laugh.
The article spoke of 3.1 million searches not warrants.
That distinction apparently flies over your head. One of many, I suspect.

You’re the one who mentioned warrants. pedantic arse.
Yes, I mentioned warrants, but I said nothing 3.1 million warrants, now, did I, newly admitted member of the goon squad? What I said was this:
They are allowed to [conduct searches of bulk data] subject to the terms of a warrant.
You (quite deliberately, I suspect) entirely distorted my expressed meaning when you replied:
3.1 million “warrants” in 2017 alone? You make me laugh.
But I guess in your hateful, puerile little mind, pointing out your error is “pedantic” and qualifies me as an “arse”. Gad, you goons are hateful, loathsome people.

I have lost track of how many times Trump has declassified documents and wants them released and it never happens. It used to be they had to be redacted for “sources and methods” or it would disturb the ongoing investigation etc.. It just never gets done even with A.G. Barr. The FBI, Wray, seems to be the hold up. He wants redactions. Round and round it goes. They should all be fired but the way the bureaucracy is set up it is almost impossible to do that.

There is no way to reform not only these “deep State” agencies but the bureaucRat’s that run them…
See if WE did a total redo those same Rat’s would then reapply to then re-infest the new= unless those people would be banned
“They” want + feel entitled to herd the flock of sheep they see “WE the People” as – all while WE trust them as hopefully good stewards
However human nature is gonna move to more power over time.
Thomas Jefferson himself stated government would become “wolves” if allowed autonomy and said even he would without direct oversite over time.
Human nature does not change given a badge, elected office or appointed position = WE are all sinners and why the fading of America’s Christ centered core conscience will create the very vacuum WE are now in.
Look at the (D)dingbat, wingnut, loons who now hope to “RULE” over us as if WE were helpless children somehow in need of their insane propositions
Henry Ford in 1933 was right in his statement that – “If Americans woke up tomorrow morning and knew …………”.

Yup = the DC – PC bear trap for nonconformist’s to “the deepstates” superimposed self appointed status as “WE the Peoples” overlords.
*This under unconstitutional “color of Law” = now a true enemy of the Republic as interlopers with nefarious intentions complete disregarding our “unalienable Rights of freedoms under Liberty”…
Huh – looks similar to what Britain was doing to us from 1760 thru 1775.
So when are “they” planning to send troops into our Lexington’s + Concorde to hang out Sam+John Adams’s to start disarming us?
Oh I forgot “they’ve” been militarizing FED agencies + LE across the nation for yrs now as has the UN – which is totally contrary to “shall have no standing army among the civilian population” – let alone foreign troops on our soil-!!!
It’s ” WE the People ” ourselves that are the “militia”….not them.
The sleeping giant must needs to be awakened so it seems…
Sadly most decent working folks are so heavily taxed now on every side + our illegal FED dollar so inflated that they struggle to keep up = convenient for “the deepstate overlords” that the silent moral majority is so pre-occupied eh….
This as “they” keep taking more + more + forcing more regulations as if “they” ever had any legal Right or Responsibility to act as a duly elected Legislative body of Law that’s Constitutional….
Just who do these people think they are and to what end are “they” going with such illegally authority over “WE the People” -????????
They have made us slaves in our own land seemingly herding us toward the Globalist NWO under a OWG – so some of them have alluded to openly and even far far worse.

It is bad enough that the Deep State has been weaponized against Trump. But when they are supported by the MSM (93% negative reporting, Jeff Zucker says the only goal of CNN is to impeach Trump) and the tech giants (Google flips between 2.6 and 10.4 million votes to Hillary), you despair that there will ever be a fair election again.

Well then those people can be blackmailed, bought or be spy’s to yield the higher classified info so there would need to be responsible protections to safeguard them and that info.
Likely they have info if decisions must made reveal it to potus to make that decision = potus cannot do + know everything 24/7 as is why help surrounds that office.
