During the Trump administration, the FBI paid $5 million to an Israeli software company for a license to use its “zero-click” surveillance software called Pegasus. Zero-click refers to software that can download the contents of a target’s computer or mobile device without the need for tricking the target into clicking on it. The FBI operated the software from a warehouse in New Jersey.
Before revealing any of this to the two congressional intelligence committees to which the FBI reports, it experimented with the software. The experiments apparently consisted of testing Pegasus by spying — illegally and unconstitutionally since no judicially issued search warrant had authorized the use of Pegasus
It really is time to shut it down!
What little value the FBI has to this nation has become far outweighed by the risk of allowing them to function.
We need to go back to relying on local law enforcement and allowing the US Marshalls significant extra budget money to handle crime that goes regional.

The crimes of Al Capone become insignificant when compared to that of today's F B I.
It is becoming more obvious every day that a large portion of the FBI is now assigned to political activity on behalf of the democrat party.
They have morphed into the KGB.

Did the FBI, formerly an agency within the United States of America, do this at the behest of Joe Biden's darling, China?

The FBI/KGB works just like the Stasi. Evil, criminal spying group, taking away our freedoms.
Erase the FBI, do not even attempt to 'reform' it.

The FBI should be renamed, the AG (American Gestapo)

Illegal searches and the FBI - no surprises there. It's what the FBIers do. They don't need no stinkin' warrants. Nope. They do what they want to, just ask Christi's Wray.

Back in the day, had this technology been used against Ellsberg, for example, how many would have been cheering? BTW: Who appointed that evil director of the FBI Wray?

Wait until the feds start uploading stuff to people's computers. Need to get someone thrown in jail for a while? Just upload a few fraudulent bank transactions (e.g. one or two above $10000 that get flagged), get a warrant on suspicion of buying illegal drugs or worse, guns (doctored pictures included) raid their homes and arrest them. Easy peazy. The evidence of guilt is all there. It's right on the victim's computer (or phone). Let's see someone defend against that.

Napolitano’s history is a little off. It wasn’t the FBI who broke into Ellsberg’s psychiatrist’s office. It was the “plumbers.”

Egregious arrogation of powers by an agency created out of thin air by the Executive Branch that is not mandated by the U.S. Constitution. Enough is enough, it's high time to shut down the FBI and put ALL of its executive leadership in the slammer.

Pubbies now in control of the House, draft up and pass the required bills to defund and close the fbi soonest. Pubbies and dims in the Senate, make it so. Biden you cheater, if such legislation requires your signature, fail to do so will result in your impeachment and conviction.
What America doesn't need is an illegal spying operation imbedded within our own federal government. And by the way, pubbies, confiscate and destroy the Phantom software that the fbi had bought from the Israelis and make sure the CIA can't get its hands on it. Similarly, arrest Director Wray, indict him for lying to congress, and send him and any others to the joint for a long long time.

While there is no denying that thousands died on 9/11, aren't others suspicious that the entire event was 'blessed' by the FBI in order to promote the widespread use of FBI and CIA spying on US citizens by all electronic means?

if Adolph Hitler and Heinrich Himmler were alive today they would be amazed how well our Einsatzgruppen operates especially in a country where the federal authorities aren't supposed to do what the Nazi Einsatzgruppen did up to an including the period of World War II
the FBEinsatzgruppen has become a political arm of the demcommie party and this is not good for a country that abhors denial of personal freedoms

Maybe the Mafia in New Jersey doesn't like the F B I muscling in on their rackets, so Judge Napolitano, who's in Jersey, had someone whisper in his ear about that warehouse there. And yes #1 I don't like him either.
BTW Bongino has been talking about Pegasus lately too.

Not to detract from Nap's conclusion that the FBI should be disbanded, but really, this is not new.
A century ago in the 1920's Eliot Ness ran a crew of feds known as the "Untouchables," meaning they could not be bribed or bought or corrupted. But what that implied was that they were the exception and all the rest of the feds WERE corruptible, “touchable.” Nap's mention of the Ellsberg burglary brings the corruption forward to 1973, and this brings it into the 21st Century. Everything old is new again.
Corruption is not limited to payoffs and bribes. Today's FBI, like the Ellsberg FBI, is politically corrupt. Every agent who participated in the use of the Pegasus and Phantom programs on Americans without a warrant knew that what they were doing was unconstitutional on its face. Not skirting the line; fundamentally illegal.
Defund, disband, and replace the FBI. And while we are at it, do a “Musk” style housecleaning at the DOJ. A good start would be putting in Alan Dershowitz as US Attorney General.

In this day of information and private thoughts so exposed...I'm not sure who to trust...except for the FBI...who has proven they cannot be trusted with anything....and of course ole Joe and his crime family...it's become a very dangerous time..as the botox nancy hostages learned the hard way...they sit in isolation in a Washington DC jail waiting for justice....

Nice!
And of course they have probably been hacked themselves, and now their spy stuff is now out 'in the wild' for criminals to buy for a hundred bucks on the 'dark web' to attack us all.

#10 they already do...
At least the CIA was bragging about their ability to do that a few years ago. They said they could put anything they want on anyone's internet connected device, and have the forensics look like it came from anywhere they wanted.
And if the CIA has it, I'm pretty sure the FBI does too.

Perhaps Edward Snowden's decision to move to Russia wasn't such a bad idea. Less spying on its people.

I would go the judge one further. The FBI has gone from crime solving to crime anticipating TO CRIME COMMITTING. If we live in anything resembling a free country these activities must stop one way or the other including abolishing the agency if necessary and starting over AND PUNISHING all the evil doers including the ones who directed Mueller fraudulent investigation (Guys like the used condom Weissman).

With Sheryl Atkinson stating that the FBI attempted to download child porn to her Husband’s computer, none of us are safe from being framed. This has to stop.

For starters, both the FBI and the DOJ should be disbanded.
