Patel's Problem and Ours: S.702

 We are not particularly enamored with "Party-Boy" Patel, but Trump trusts him, so we got him.  What we post here is another very good reason to oppose S.702, which allowed this utter travesty to happen.  Remember:  this can (and probably WILL) happen to you, too.

Last Refuge provides a reality check on both the FBI and what seems to be Patel's slow-walk.  Here's the text and the image.  The concluding graf is posted first; the lead-up and CC of the subpoena follows.

 [Quoting Hans Manche:] 

“It didn’t just ask for Kash Patel’s phone records, it asked for everything he did from 2020 to 2023. Just to name a few, they requested all usernames and screen names, every address and email, complete billing and payment details including credit card and bank account numbers, every device ID, and a full log of every call, text, and voicemail showing who was contacted, when, and for how long. They also obtained all internet session data, including the exact IP addresses. So, this wasn’t just about who Kash called. It was basically a complete view of his entire life, mapping his daily routines, travel, relationships, finances, and even tracking the specific hardware he used. In short, they got a full digital shadow of his life.”

Yep, that’s how the FBI operates.

That’s how the FBI establishes leverage against anyone they view against their interests.

... Many people have wondered why FBI Director Kash Patel seems compromised since he took office.  Well, the FBI subpoena into then civilian Kash Patel, highlights the extent of the FBI operation as they gathered background intelligence that could be used for blackmail and leverage over the eventual FBI Director....
