1/7 If you thought warrant-less wiretaps were bad, #MoscowMitchMcConnell wants to make it harder to surveil politicians engaged in wrongdoing but let Bill Barr use the FBI to look through the browsing habits & searches of EVERY OTHER CITIZEN & ORGANIZATION without a warrant. Image
2/7 Welcome to the Trump-era Patriot Act: a law that protects politicians while giving the government greater knowledge of the websites you searched for and visited.

Patriot Act 2.0 will protect Trump but let Bill Barr investigate us.

3/7 Under cover of redressing what Trump and his allies call the FBI’s “witch hunt” over collusion with the Kremlin, McConnell, via an amendment to the PATRIOT Act, will expressly permit the FBI to warrantlessly collect records on Americans’ web browsing and search histories. Image
4/7 In a different amendment, McConnell also proposes giving the attorney general visibility into the “accuracy and completeness” of FBI surveillance submissions to the secret Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) Court. Image
5/7 Privacy advocates consider McConnell’s moves an alarming expansion of Attorney General Bill Barr’s powers under FISA, a four-decade-old process that already places the attorney general at the center of national-security surveillance. Image
6/7 It also doesn’t escape their notice that McConnell is increasing Barr’s oversight of surveillance on political candidates while expanding surveillance authorities on every other American. Image
7/7 Journalists. Religious organizations. Companies. Private citizens. We'll all be fair game for Bill Barr's expanded FBI surveillance network in the new #PatriotAct.

Call your MoC at (202) 224-3121.

Demand they say NO to #MoscowMitchMcConnel's Patriot Act.
