Pelosi's KGB?
When Donald Trump first suggested that elements of the FBI and other intelligence agencies were spying on him, he was mocked for spouting "Deep State conspiracy theories."
Well, we now know Trump was right. Elements of the FBI were spying on him, as well as members of his campaign and administration.
And that wasn't the first time our intelligence agencies had spied on other branches of the government. The Obama/Biden CIA and NSA spied on Congress. (Here and here.)
But in the aftermath of the breach of the Capitol on January 6th, it appears that Speaker Nancy Pelosi has turned the Capitol Hill Police into her own personal KGB. The department's intelligence division has reportedly been spying on members of Congress, their staff and the people they meet with.
For example, Florida Senator Rick Scott recently held a fundraiser at a private residence. According to Politico, the Capitol Hill Police researched the social media accounts of the homeowners and other event attendees. Evidently, the Capitol Hill police were also "tasked with sifting through tax and real estate records."
Rep. Troy Nehls (R-TX) is accusing Capitol Hill Police officers of photographing legislative documents in his office. Days later, three plain-clothed officers returned to question staffers about the documents and what had been drawn on the office whiteboard.
For all the left's hysteria about "Russia! Russia! Russia!," these Stalinist, police-state tactics are outrageous! The Capitol Hill Police are supposed to protect members of Congress, not to spy on them, their staff or us!
But it's really not surprising coming from the same leftist movement that ordered the FBI to spy on concerned parents at school board meetings.
Let me repeat this warning again: The real threat to our democratic process and to our constitutional Republic does not come from the right, but from the increasingly intolerant and totalitarian Big Government left.
